Directors' Terms of Office

Here is the line-up of the terms-of-office for the directors of the Summit HOA.

The two-year terms are fixed in the By-Laws and cannot be altered without specific action first to amend the By-Laws.

When George Reynolds died in April 2021, his office should have been declared Vacant, and the Board should have appointed a successor to serve the remainder of his term (to November 2022). It never has.

When Paul Hill died in April 2022, the Board failed to declare the office Vacant but did appoint, according to Justin, Dennis Rybicki as Paul's successor. However, Justin Martin has said it's just until November 2022. That is incorrect.

Three Directors have terms that expire in November 2022.

Four Directors have terms that expire in November 2023.

Vice-President, Auby Dellinger (Term expires Nov. 2022)

Treasurer, Vernell Butler (Term expires Nov. 2022)

Director,    Vacancy    (Term expires Nov. 2022) - Undeclared Vacancy. emains unfilled. (George Reynolds had been re-elected in November 2020 but died in April 2021.)

You'll quickly see the problem in the following list. In November 2021 there was an improper election of five Directors

President, Justin Martin (Term expires Nov. 2023)
Secretary, Greg Thomas * (Term expires Nov. 2023)
Director, Mary Ann Game (Term expires Nov. 2023)
Director, Brenda Bryant  (Term expires Nov. 2023)
Director, Dennis Rybicki (Term expires Nov. 2023)

* Greg Thomas is not eligible to serve on the Board or to be Secretary, because he is not a Homeowner.

The Board should appoint a legitimate Secretary.

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...
