Minutes of 11/12/24 Board Meeting Published

The Minutes of the November 12, 2024 board meeting have been published. I think the HOA set a record this month; less than two weeks.

To find them, go to the HOA's website. Hover over RESIDENTS. Click on DOCUMENTS. Click on Board of Director's Minutes. Click on the month you'd like to examine.

After noticing the three errors at the top of the page, I spotted the HUGE error in the listing of the directors who were present. 

At this point I wondered who in the world prepared the Minutes this month. Also, who approved them before they left the office. And, did any of the directors review them before they were published?

When the meeting was called to order, there were seven directors seated at the front tables. Only five names are listed in the Minutes as "Present".

The names of the newly-elected directors, LaToya Adams and Ciara Bates, were omitted!

Before the meeting began, board member Patricia Pollin, chair of the Nominating Committee,  announced that LaToya and Ciara had been elected and that Tanisha had been re-elected.

When the meeting began, Danny Trapp, President of the HOA, should have formally announced the result of the election. He also should have thanked Dennis Rybicki, who had served for 2½ years.

In the next article, I'll address what I know about the Voting Members' Annual Meeting that preceded the board meeting, and I'll comment further on the sad state of the Minutes of the board meeting.

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...
