Should the Board lie in Minutes?

Read the Board's reason for moving the September 5, 2023 Board meeting from the church to Zoom.

Go to the Minutes, found on the HOA's website. www.summithomeowners.com  Then hover over RESIDENTS, click on DOCUMENTS, click on Board of Director's Minutes, click on September 2023.

Scroll down to Page 5. 



It is no stretch of the imagination to think that the Minutes are FALSE. If this entry in the Minutes refers to my email to Barony Place neighbors and my encouragement that they attend the September 5th meeting and object to the board's prohibition on attendance by homeowners, it is FALSE to expect a "disruption".  

Are those the Justin Martin's words that "What happened at the last meeting is not how we conduct business"? Who is "we"?

No one was unsafe at the August board meeting. No one was expected to be unsafe at the September meeting. What did Justin expect? A "January 6th insurrection"?

In fact, if "the safety of everyone is our main objective", why did Justin leave the 12 homeowners who showed up at the church for the 6:30PM meeting unprotected?  Why didn't he have RCSD there (maybe a dozen deputies) to protect those who arrived, not knowing the meeting was closed to homeowners or that it had been moved to Zoom earlier that same day?

If Justin is referring to my email, there was NOTHING to indicate any disruption. Did he receive a message from anyone threatening disruption? I challenge him to produce it.

All the board meetings (pre-board and regular Open monthly board meetings) should be broadcast on Zoom and archived for later reviewing. Then everyone would know what is happening!

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
