Is HOA Risking Dissolution?

What do you think about the claims in national news of Voter Fraud?

Regardless of your opinion, do you believe elections should be fair? Conducted properly? That only eligible voters should be allowed to vote? 

Who checks on whether the voters are eligible?

The Summit's HOA has experienced Classic Voter Fraud for years.

The current board of directors seems to be no more inclined to do anything about this than past boards.

Who elects Directors of the HOA? You, the homeowners, don't. Who does? The Voting Members.

Every one of the 28 Neighborhoods is supposed to have one; i.e., one legitimate Voting Member.

The problem is that not one of the 28 Neighborhoods has a legitimate Voting Member! And that's because no Neighborhood has been holding the required Annual Neighborhood Meeting, at which a three-member Neighborhood Committee is to be elected by the homeowners. Then that Neighborhood Committee chooses one (of its three) to be the Voting Member. For one year.

I wrote to past boards for 3-4 years. I have approached this board. No one is willing to discuss it. 

Time is being devoted to a review of the CC&Rs and the By-Laws, with recommendations for changes.

But the Board cannot act, because they are not a legitimate board. The Voting Members cannot act, because they are not legitimate.

Will a lawsuit be necessary to force the Board of Directors to comply with the By-Laws? How expensive (for the HOA) will that be? 

Your HOA has almost $2,000,000 in banks, and the people in charge were not duly-elected!

Will the State of South Carolina take over the HOA, in order to protect the assets of 2,480 homeowners?

Could the S.C. Attorney General take action? Every S.C. non-profit corporation is required to have a board of directors; i.e., a legal one.

Could the S.C. Secretary of State dissolve the HOA?

Could a Circuit Court judge place the HOA in receivership?

Be at the April 2, 2024 board of directors meeting and stand up and ask your questions. Maybe the Board will respond to Members (homeowners) of the Association.

Can the Board explain why this is not a risk?

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...
