May Board Meeting canceled. WHAT inclement weather?

The May HOA Board meeting was canceled today at 4:38PM. Of course, it could have been canceled this morning or even yesterday.

Inclement weather? Who is kidding whom? Where? Oklahoma? Tornadoes in Kansas? Not in Columbia!

Read this message clearly. Did the President of the HOA actually write that?

NOTE: This communication was sent by CAMS on behalf of Summit Community Association, Inc. (The) from a Do Not Reply address. Replies are NOT monitored.

Tonight's BOD of directors meeting will be canceled for inclement weather.

 

The Board is sad to announce the passing of Paul Hill. Paul's name is synonymous with The Summit. Him and Pat have been integral in the successful operation of The Summit for more years that I've lived here. His years of service and knowledge of the community will be deeply missed. There will be a Celebration of Life held for Paul and his family at Magnolia Pool on Saturday, May 7 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

 

The BOD meeting will be rescheduled next week. The BOD will go into executive session tomorrow evening to discuss the distribution of duties and the next steps for the opening in the Board of Directors.

 

Thank you,

Justin Martin

President, Summit HOA

With no disrespect meant to Paul, look at this message.

There is NO INCLEMENT WEATHER today.

What is the "BOD of directors"?

The meeting will be canceled? OK, when will it be canceled?

"Him and Pat have been .." Seriously? That's an error that a third-grader shouldn't make. Why is there a change in font and font-size?

So the Board canceled tonight's meeting, but it will meet tomorrow night in "executive session"? You mean, in private, secret session out of view of the Members (homeowners) of the HOA who kick in $1¼ Million each year? Tomorrow's meeting should be open to all Members (homeowners).

Exactly the same steps should be followed as should have been followed last year after George Reynolds died. 1. Declare the vacancy on the board. 2. Select and appoint a successor to serve the remainder of the unexpired term of 19 months. The By-Laws are quite clear.

There is not just one opening on the board. There are two! The vacancy on the board created by George Reynolds' death has never been properly filled.

Distribute Paul's duties? Paul had already been demoted by Justin. In December he was appointed by Justin to be co-chair of the Finance Committee, but then the Scoop and the HOA website quickly showed Vernell as Chair of that committee and Paul as co-chair.

Apparently, no one on the Board has the ability to recognize that, if one person is the Chair of a committee, then a second person cannot be "co-chair". They are both co-chairs. Or the second person is the assistant chair. These are the people who are managing $1¼ Millions of your money! Are you sleeping well at night?

Who wrote the pitiful excuse for an announcement? Since Justin's name is under it, did he write it?

"Him and Pat..."? Who wrote that?

Annual Meeting, Barony Place Neighborhood - continued to 5/4/2024

Barony Place Neighborhood (Barony Place I and Barony Place II attempted to hold a Neighborhood Meeting this afternoon. Of the 78 homes, seventeen (17) homes were represented, and that was not sufficient to meet the quorum requirement of 26. The meeting was continued to Saturday, May 4, 2024, 1:00PM, at 44 Barony Place Circle. An effort will be made to have at least 26 homes represented in-person or by proxy. Three homeowners have volunteered to be on the Neighborhood Committee: Tracy Manderino (Barony Place II), Della Glynn (Barony Place II) and Gwen Hayes (Barony Place I). If a quorum is present on May 4th, those present, including by proxy, will elect the Neighborhood Committee. Once the Committee has been elected, it will select one of its three committee members to be the Voting Member for the next 12 months. The other two members will be Alternates. A new announcement will be distributed to your newspaper box, along with a proxy. If you will not attend Saturday's meeting, plea

Open Letter to Barony Place "Voting Member"

An open letter to the "Voting Member" of Barony Place Neighborhood. Good morning, Billie, If you and/or an Alternate attended last night's board of directors meeting, will you please send out a recap of the meeting to Ann Stirlen and me (and to all the homeowners and residents in Barony Place)? About a dozen homeowners from throughout The Summit showed up for the board meeting  at the church  last night, only to learn from one person that it had been switched to Zoom, which allowed the board to meet in secret. Many of them had not received the email from the office that the board was (illegitimately) closing the meeting to homeowners. There are only about 1,800 (73%) email addresses of the 2,480 Members in the website database. I attempted to join the meeting on Zoom, as I am Attorney-in-Fact for Ann Stirlen, but I was not admitted to the meeting. The HOA's attorney has quoted a section in the By-Laws that she believes allows the Board to close the meetings. That spec

Special Assessment Possible?

How would you feel about a $3,000 Special Assessment levied by the HOA against you and every other HOA Member (homeowner)? Article X, Section 4 in the CC&Rs allows this. Are you aware of that? Should the Board do everything possible to eliminate the possibility of such a Special Assessment? What is the Board doing that might just lead directly to such an Assessment? The HOA, by actions of the President (Justin Martin), the Treasurer (Vernell Butler, and the Safety Committee Chair (Dennis Rybicki) entered into a contact with the Richland County Sheriff's Department, effective February 1, 2023. They arranged for special patrols in the Summit at a cost of $48.00/hour. In the Special Duty Agreement is a Liability clause. It reads,  "The Requestor will hold harmless the Richland County Sheriff's Department from any and all claims or liabilities resulting from service and indemnify RCSD for any loss due to any injury of its employee unless there is a determination of neglige
