Council Meeting - November 30, 2006

All decisions of the Strata Corporation are supposed to be made by the Strata Council in the manner prescribed by the Act and the Bylaws. That is not the case in fact. Not by a long stretch.

A review of the minutes recorded by Al MacLeod and Joan MacDougall over a certain time period reveals a pattern of errors and omissions that seems to significantly exceed innocent misrepresentation. I believe it rises to the level of fraudulent.

In this blog I present a hearing before council. It is just one example of council meetings being commandeered by the chair - and the type of misrepresentations and bias and non-existent votes on non-existent resolutions that management arbitrarily inserts into official strata records.

These generally accepted practices through the strata industry, which also include the incompetent practice of law without a licence, are a fundamental contributor to systemic corruption and strata strife.

The following posts address the first page or two of the minutes of November 30, 2006. The full 12 pages of these minutes can be viewed by clicking and scrolling down on the 0611 Nov30 link below, or Full Screen and Zoom and then Back to return to this post.

November 30, 2006, Council Meeting

Votes on issues we raised are missing from the minutes, and erroneous proclamations and misrepresentations published in substitution and circulated as an official and permanent public record are very harmful.

I don't have what it takes to provide rebuttals to all the disparaging misrepresentations or defamatory attacks made repeatedly in the minutes, and even if I did, it's boring. Defending against endless misrepresentations is time consuming, traumatic, exhausting, and seemingly futile. Suffice it to say that strata property legislation requires that decisions be made by votes of council - not by arbitrary proclamations by the chair - which is what happens all too often. On November 30, 2006, that is what happened, most definitely. I have direct, personal knowledge of it.


Council was no more than Joan MacDougall's rubber stamp, or not even that much.
