June HOA board meeting now June 18

The HOA office sent out this email today at 11:10AM:

"The June Board of Directors meeting has been moved to June 18th. This is due to the primary elections on June 11th and the church is a voting center.
 
"We apologize for any confusion these changes may have caused."

Anyone else tired of the apologies from the office?

The two changes in the dates of the June board meeting demonstrate the utter chaos on this board.

The meeting never should have been moved from the first and long-time scheduled date of June 4.

And now to move it from June 11, which has been Primary Election Day for many months? Did not the office check with the church first?

The board has no time to fool around. The November Annual Meeting of Voting Members, at which election of directors should take place, is scheduled November 5th, the first Tuesday. However, that is National Election Day. Will it be changed to November 12?

This crucial meeting (the Annual Meeting of Voting Members) can only be convened IF there are enough legitimate Voting Members present. That number is 15 legitimate Voting Members, a quorum of the 28 Neighborhoods. Right now there is only one (1) legitimate Voting Member - Barony Place!

The Board should reconstitute the Neighborhood Committee (of the Board) immediately, and the board President should appoint a chair who will get the job done. The "job" is helping 27 Neighborhoods to comply with the By-Laws by holding a Neighborhood Meeting, electing a three-person Neighborhood Committee, and selecting one of those three as the Voting Member. With good organization that could happen in 30-45 days.

Past boards of this HOA failed to do that, resulting in fraudulent elections for many years, because ineligible people were allowed to elect Directors. Even the 2023 election was fraudulent, which means the HOA does not have a legitimate board of directors!

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
