Safety Committee Information

If you are looking for information about the Safety Committee, you should be able to find it on the Summit HOA's website, www.summithomeowners.com

On the homepage, scroll down a little and click on Neighborhood News.

Then scroll down to
Safety Information
 
Please click HERE
   Click HERE for information
on Neighbors app.

Click on the first HERE and that's where you ought to be able to find up-to-date information.

Unfortunately, you'll see the latest information as of March 5, 2020. OK, that's only 4½ years ago. They are busy at the office.

If you'd like to see something newer, contact William Hill, chair of the Safety Committee. His email is listed on the website's Committee listing as sirwilliam1229@msn.com  He has a HOA cell phone; call the office for the number.

You might also be interested in the RCSD Crime Reports for our area. From the homepage, click on Public Service Announcements. Click on the link for the "most recent" Crime Report for The Summit.

What you'll see is the report for part of March 2023! Not even the whole report, because somebody carelessly posted only the even-numbered pages of the nine-page report. I reported the error to the office and even obtained the full nine-page print-out for them, but they never posted it. 

Vernell Butler, former board member and former Treasurer (and failed candidate in the November 2024 election for directors) and I got into a disagreement over PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Vernell claimed an address was PII; I claimed it was not. If it were PII, RCSD never would have sent it to either the HOA or to me. 

Resut? The HOA stopped publishing Crime Reports for The Summit. All they have to do is request them from RCSD. What's the big deal? Homeowners want to know where crime is happening. Right? And what good is the Report if it doesn't have addresses?

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...
