Our manager has advised that this is a common bylaw being adopted by strata corporations. Is this correct?
As owners who pay the cost of the operations of our strata corporation, we need to know how these classes of people would be elected and how they could contribute to our operations for special projects and avoid being in a conflict of interest if they also provide professional services.
Our owners ultimately defeated the proposed bylaw, pending better definitions of who these people are who could be elected and under what circumstances.

A small number of strata corporations have adopted bylaws that permit other classes of individuals to be elected to council. However, the implications of such a bylaw need to be clearly understood, as certain classes of people may have no interest in a strata lot or the consequences associated with their appointments.
