June HOA Board Meeting

Attn., ALL Homeowners,

The June monthly meeting of the HOA Board of Directors is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, June 7, at 6:30PM. This will be an in-person meeting.

[Edited 6/2/2022} The June 7 HOA board meeting will be held at the Brookland Baptist Northeast Church, 1203 Summit Parkway.

As of June 1st, the location has not yet been announced. Call the office at 803.865.0609. The phone is often answered by voicemail, so you might also want to email the office at trigon@camsmgt.com, aredfern@camsmgt.com, aadleman@camsmgt.com   One of the women should get back to you promptly.

Show up in-person at the meeting. 

The board previously announced that monthly meetings are closed to homeowners "unless invited". There is NO basis in the CC&Rs or By-Laws for prohibiting Homeowners from attending meetings. YOU are entitled to attend; it is your HOA.

If the President or the Board persists in locking you, the homeowners, out of monthly meetings, I suggest you band together and file a lawsuit to demand admittance to meetings. The HOA is not an after-school club. It is a South Carolina non-profit corporation, organized for the benefit of 2, 480 homeowners. 

Too much business is conducted in secrecy at the pre-board meetings. The Board wants to call those meetings "executive sessions", but they are not really entitled to private meetings to decide what to do. For example, last month (May) the board met in private and appointed Dennis Rybicki to succeed the late-Paul Hill. That appointment should have been discussed and made in public session.

After first saying that the May meeting would be re-scheduled, the Board blew it off and announced nothing.

It seems that Dennis was appointed to serve until November 2022, but that's not in accordance with the By-Laws. If Dennis was appointed to succeed Paul Hill, then Dennis serves until November 2023. Paul had been re-elected in November 2021 to a two-year term, so Dennis serves the remaining term.

Side-note: the Board still has never appointed a successor to the unexpired term of the late-George Reynolds. George had been re-elected in November 2020 to a two-year term that expires in November 2022.

And there is lots more than the Board has done and is doing incorrectly.

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
