TO: 2402 Homeowners in 27 Neighborhoods

This post is for all homeowners (except those in Barony Place I & II).

Two thousand four hundred two (96.9%) of you (in 27 Neighborhoods) may not be properly represented at the Annual Meeting of Voting Members on November 12, 2024. To be represented, you must have a legitimate Voting Member.

Without your urgent attention and action, the HOA will not be able to convene the Annual Meeting of Voting Members. There won't be a quorum. But the Board may allow it to happen, just as past boards have. 

Isn't this ELECTION FRAUD, just like what is occurring all over the USA? When officials let people vote, who are not eligible to vote, isn't that Election Fraud?

There is still time (52 days) to hold a Neighborhood Meeting and elect a three-member Neighborhood Committee, from which one of those three will become your Voting Member.

Would you like some help? With the right organization, you can elect a legitimate Voting Member within two weeks! Contact me. I'll tell you how to make it happen.

Come to the October 1st board meeting (6:30PM) and ask what the effect is, when the Association conducts a fraudulent election of directors.

Ask the "board members" if they incur personal responsibility and liability by allowing ineligible homeowners to vote for directors.

Ask if, because of fraudulent elections in the recent past, there is even a legitimate board of directors right now, which is required under South Carolina law.

Ask the board why it allowed the HOA's Neighborhood Committee to be disbanded last December. That's the committee which is supposed to help Neighborhoods to comply with the By-Laws. 

See the Procedures Reference Manual, Art. II, §B, ¶8 (Page 9). You'll find it on the HOA's website. Hover over RESIDENTS; click on DOCUMENTS; click on SCA Procedures Reference Manual; scroll down.

"Neighborhood Committee:  This Committee is responsible for helping each Community in the Summit to locate and elect a local neighborhood committee that will represent their community at SCA Board meetings and there by [sic] allow their Voting member (elected by the local neighborhood committee) to vote on vital issues that affect the Summit and their local neighborhood.  The Neighborhood Committee will assist and advise local neighborhoods with problems that they encounter."

This is a Standing Committee. A vote of the full board should have been taken at the meeting, when the President announced he was disbanding that committee. The HOA President can appoint or remove a chair of a Standing Committee, but he cannot, on his own, abolish the committee. Why did the board let him do that?

Should a homeowner file a legal action in Richland County and ask a judge to order the HOA to obey its By-Laws and not to hold a fraudulent election 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
