Barony Place I/Barony Place II

The job of the Board of Directors is to govern The Summit's HOA in compliance with the CC&Rs, the By-Laws, and the established Guidelines, such as the Procedures Reference Manual. An important part of that job is to represent and protect the interests of the Members (homeowners) of the Association. Sometimes, it might be necessary to step on someone's toes; e.g., the toes of current or past board  members. If that is necessary to protect the interests of the Members, then the Board must do it. When Association funds have been mishandled, somebody must be held accountable. Money can be moved out of Reserves only for specific, authorized purposes. Too much money has been moved around without the required paper trail (Minutes and Resolutions) for withdrawals and purpose!!! Where did $445,000 go from Reserves between 1/31/25 and 1/31/26? Why haven't Financial Operating Results been posted on the HOA's website since August 2025 ? The HOA spent $25,-$30,000 from December ...

On June 19, 2026 the office sent out proposed amendments to the CC&Rs and the By-Laws by email. The email indicated that the proposed amendments were also being sent out by U.S. Mail. Those sent by U.S.Mail have not been delivered to at least one long-time HOA member. Have you received your copy by mail? Did the Board of Directors approve those proposed amendments? Did the Board authorize the office to send out that email over its name? Presumably, it did. Who gave the direction to distribute the proposed amendments? The email doesn't say. When did the Board approve those proposed amendments? On what date? Did they do so on June  2, 2026 at the Regular Monthly Board Meeting, which was held in private ? The June Meeting, if it was held, was in the new cycle of bi-monthly meetings.   No Minutes of that meeting have been distributed. What's the secret? How many Board members were at that meeting? Who voted for approving those proposed amendments? Who voted against? What...

In its June 19th email to all Members (at least, all who have registered email addresses), the Board and the office gave erroneous advice for the return of the "ballots" on proposed amendments to the CC&Rs and the By-Laws. The Board and the Office direct Members to return the "ballots" to the office. This is WRONG . The Governing Documents instruct that such ballots should be returned to the Voting Members. Why should they go to the Voting Members and not to the office? Because it is the Voting Member who votes on amendments to the CC&Rs and the By-Laws, not the Members. Another and more important reason is that the Governing Documents say that is where they should go. The authors of the Governing Documents recognized the power of their words. Were they worried about how a management office or a Board might handle such "ballots"?  The ballots should not go through the office on the way to the Voting Members. The office cannot even publish The Summi...

The Summit's HOA Board of Directors is proposing changes to some of the CC&Rs and the By-Laws. I've been reading and studying the Governing Documents for more than six years. I know them better than most of the Board Members. Amendment 1 -  Voting Structure.  The Board is offering a suggestion to trash the current "Voting Member" structure and replace it with a structure that would allow the Members (2,480 homeowners) to amend the Governing  Documents and to elect Directors. This is a terrible idea.  First, the processes for amending the Governing  Documents and for electing directors are different in major ways. Allowing homeowners to do either would result in ignorant (know the definition) and uninformed voters to make important decisions. Not that Voting Members are necessarily not ignorant or informed. Some of them are neither.  Most of the homeowners wouldn't even bother to vote, so who would make the decisions? The current method is just fine. The...

Which Board Member is responsible for the error in the letter sent out by the HOA with the July 1st dues notice? It's bad enough that the management company made  the error. That never should have happened. But certainly a Board Member should have been responsible for proof-reading the letter/email before it was sent out. The important  part of the email from the office was: Please see the following regarding online payment. The information on your statement is correct, but the cover letter has an incorrect Association ID If you choose to pay through the Association’s bank, Western Alliance Bank, you may use the link below. There is currently no fee for payments made by eCheck; however, there is a fee for debit and credit card payments. https://pay.westernalliancebank.com/home?cmcid=C830BF00 Management Company ID: 7529 Association ID: 174 I recommend that you pay your dues in person at the office. Be sure to get a receipt. Get your Pool fob and HOA ID Card updated.  If yo...

Does The Summit's HOA still have a management  company? The March 2026 Board Minutes have not been posted online. The May 2026 Board Minutes have not been posted online. The June Summit Scoop hasn't been published. No Financial Operating Results have been posted for September, October, November or December 2025 OR for January, February, March, April or May 2026! What doesn't the management company (Town & Country) post these documents? Or the Board of Directors the problem?
