Long week-end for CAMS. Pools?

Here's an announcement that you'll probably miss. Where is it? On the HOA website, but not on the homepage. You have to click on Neighborhood News.

The Summit Community Association Office will close at 3pm on Friday, July 1st.  The office will be closed Saturday, July 2nd and Monday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day.

Does the HOA board approve CAMS holiday schedules? Or does CAMS create its schedule for its employees?

The HOA office is adjacent to the Myrtle Pool. Usually it's open on Saturdays during the summer. Why should it closed this week-end? CAMS is a private business, not a government entity. 

When the pool is open, is there any contingency that might require access to the office?

Who has the key to the defibrillator cabinet? Is it even locked? Is the Pool Monitor trained in using the defibrillator? Should it be used on a wet body? On a wet deck? Is there an unintended shock concern if it is used in or near wet surfaces?

Recently I was told that the Pool Monitor is not a lifeguard. The Pool Monitor only checks IDs, if he or she even does that? Do all pool users, including guests, sign in?

Why does the HOA even budget $20,000 for a Pool Monitor?

When the pool crowd gets rowdy, what does the Pool Monitor do? Stand by and watch? He's not a hired security officer. Does he summon RCSD? If deputies are called, are they instructed to arrest?

Are the pools entered after-hours? Whom do homeowners call to report noise and trespassers? Is there a 24-hour HOA emergency number? Call the Safety Committee Chair (Justin Martin) at home? (His number is nowhere to be found.). 

Call RCSD? Does RCSD have standing instructions from the HOA? Deputies aren't private security officers. They respond to calls about criminal activity.

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...
