If you name is not below, please let me know if you would like to be included. Names: Maria, Anna, Donald, Miriam, Ngaire, Jeffrey, Sara, Gay, Sandy. In the past Marianne, … [View More]

Admin group meeting notes
by Alex King 31 Jan '21

31 Jan '21

We had an admin group meeting today at lunchtime. Here are some notes from my memory: Present: Alex, Catherine, Min, Gay, Anne, Sandy, Warren, Maria. The main topic for discussion was the documents we needed to address for settlement. * Membership Agreement: *Warren* was happy to lead the process and send another revision after today's workshop. * Mortgages: As far as we're aware, we have done what Kiwibank were asking. They have not contacted the people who were … [View More]getting mortgages from them yet, we are waiting for them to progress it. *Maria* will follow up next week if we don't hear. We noted this is primarily the responsibility of those people seeking mortgages. If you are uncertain about your own mortgage at all or need anything else from UCOL, please contact Maria or one of the directors. * Health and Safety: After Stevenson and Williams leave site we will be responsible for health and safety policy on site, initially UCOL then the Body Corporate. *Sandy* will find the incident book we used previously (or get a new one), and do/arrange a survey of hazards. We will need to consider whether we have the policies we need in place. * Access before settlement: we discussed different ideas for access before settlement, e.g. access just for finishing jobs closely regulated by UCOL, or leasing our houses before settlement. Gay pointed out that the residential settlement act does NOT apply to purchasers with an unconditional contract to buy a property, so any rental would be a custom contract not a standard residential tendency (I love how we have so much knowledge in the group.) *Gay* will lead the drafting of some options that we can investigate further and bring back to the group with pros and cons. * Insurance: Our attempts to come up with cheaper insurance have drawn a black so far. *Anne* will seek additional quotes from direct insurance companies. We will need to pay for new insurance once S&W leave site and/or practical completion. The question arose how we could rely on our construction insurance that we have paid for already for a longer period, e.g. until settlement. Anne will ask Tina this question, and also about monthly vs. annual insurance payment. *Alex* was going to do something but he can't remember what. Perhaps talk to our accountant about accounting for the insurance cost between the company and the body corporate. * Body corporate administration: *Anne* thought the office volunteers would naturally handle the BC administration tasks such as maintaining an owners register and communicating those details to insurance companies. * Body corporate bank account: We thought this was not immediately urgent to set up. We did not set a time for a next meeting, but I suggest next Sunday evening around 5pm if we need one. We can re-assess that at Thursday's meeting. Thanks all, Alex [View Less]

Induction organisation
by Anna Maxwell 30 Jan '21

30 Jan '21

Hi Warren Fantastic work on the agreement doc. A thoughts from us for the workshop.... * Ideally explain the term 'the Group' earlier in the document. Maybe could be an abbreviation after the title Membership of Toiora Cohousing Group (the Group). The explanation in the working group section could be brought up under this section. * 'Resident members are to koha time to one or more of the following....' Attending group meetings seems to be a separate responsibility to the other three … [View More]

Induction organisation
by Jan Burch 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Reminder 10.30 for induction. Any extra people who can arrive by 10.15am would be very much appreciated. These people always arrive early so they can talk to a real cohouser. 12.30 for shared lunch. Finger food appreciated (so we don't need to use plates). I'm bringing green milk. I presume Liz will bring along her wonderful selection of tea bags, and I have high hopes that someone will provide coffee. With ten interested people expected we're hoping we get a good turnout for lunch. 1.… [View More]
