An Unwanted Guest

I attempted to visit the Finance Committee at 5:00PM.

I was immediately made unwelcome by Vicki, who told me it was a committee meeting and I wasn't a member. I reminded her that she had pulled the same stunt a year ago (December 2023) and that she herself was not a member then or now. Her name has never appeared on the Finance Committee members' list. Then Brent weighed in with his 2¢ worth.

If his looks could kill, the EMTs would have carried me out in a body bag!

I explained that I had information that I thought would be helpful to the Committee. Vicki presumed to make the decision for the Committee, usurping LaToya Adams' position as Chair of the Committee. 

I requested that discussion about my presence be delayed until the meeting started. LaToya invited me to put it in writing to her. She hasn't answered any other email I've sent to the Board, including her. I'll save my time. Then LaToya asked me to leave.

As I left the meeting room, I told them that my first call in the morning will be to the FBI to report Bank Fraud. Financial institutions (banks and Edward Jones) should only be dealing with legitimate officers of a non-profit corporation. 

My position is that the Summit's HOA does not have any legitimate Directors or Officers. That's because there aren't enough legitimate Voting Members to convene their Annual Meeting and conduct an election of directors. This has been true for several years.

LaToya was not duly-elected as a Director. Because she is not a director, she cannot be an officer.

If the Board played by its own rules, there would be no problem. Those "rules" are called the CC&Rs, the By-Laws, and the Procedures Reference Manual.

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...
