a.      Infraction Procedure, per the Strata Act:
                                                              i.      Complaint must be received by office

4.      Discussion of complaint and decision must be recorded in meeting minutes
                                                            ii.      Infraction letter must quote breached bylaw, date, time and location of breach. Letter can bundle several breaches into one letter, and will still qualify as multiple infractions, but must also offer a chance to defend self in front of council at a meeting. Suggested verbiage: “We look forward to your response by _________.” Without response, minutes must show fine to specific unit owner.
b.      Requirements for resolution to approve siding project
                                                              i.      Per Sec 108 of the Strata Act, Minutes must show tally of yes and no votes as well as whether the resolution was passed. A ¾ vote is necessary for agreement to loan or to apply levy to unit owners. Council must wait a minimum of one week after minutes are published to allow for any absent owners to oppose the decision.
                                                            ii.      Must be only ONE resolution, which should be at least ¾ - 1 page in length detailing all costs that will be associated with the project, including taxes and contingency for unforeseen expenses.
                                                          iii.      Wording of resolutions should include
1.      “will be paid by loan over XX years plus interest,”
2.      dates of first and last payments,
3.      allow for council to borrow from CRF to cover owner’s arrears on levy, and
4.      the colour options
5.      outline how the sale of units will be handled within the time of the loan and the project.
                                                           iv.      All funds must be attained via loan or lump sum from owners, not a combination of both, unless the owners opting to pay a lump sum have that sum calculated to include the interest due on the loan.
