What is the Neighborhood Committee?

Look at Page 2 in the December 2024 Summit Scoop and notice how well-populated the Committees are - except for the Neighborhood Committee, which is chaired by Reginald Mack and has NO other members.

This may be the most-important Committee of the HOA, because its job is to work with the 28 Neighborhoods and assist them to hold Annual Neighborhood Meetings. In case the Board can't understand "Annual", that means yearly - every year.

That's when the homeowners elect their three-member [local] Neighborhood Committees, which then elect the Voting Member for the following 12 months.

Is that why Danny isn't appointing any Members to that committee? If he did, then they could get some work done and help 27 Neighborhoods to have legitimate Voting Members.

Right now more than 20% of the homeowners are not represented before the Board. And they don't even know (or care), because the HOA is not telling them.

Homeowners deserve the legal representation that the Voting Member gives them. Without legitimate Voting Members, there can be no elections of Directors. Without legitimate Directors, there is no legitimate Board of Directors. Without a legitimate Board of Directors, there can be no legitimate Officers. 

Legitimate Voting Members are also needed to approve any amendments to the CC&Rs and By-Laws. There is no reason go to the expense of a Referendum, if there is only one legitimate Voting Member (Barony Place) in the entire HOA.

What? No trampolines?

OK, you trampoline fans. Are your rights and privileges being tramped on by your Board of Directors? The office sent out an email just before 2:00PM threatening you with a dreaded violation notice and the possibility of fines, if you dare to put a trampoline in your yard.  This is what the email from the office said,  " Please be advised that, pursuant to Section 13, Page 22, Article XII of the covenants, no structure of a temporary nature shall be placed upon any unit or any part of the properties. This includes, but is not limited to, tents, temporary gazebos, shacks, trailers, and any other structure of a temporary nature.  "Kindly note that trampolines are classified as temporary play equipment and, as such, are not permitted within the community. We ask that you ensure there is no trampoline present on your property to avoid receiving a violation notice and subsequent fines." What do the Covenants say? "Section 13. Tents. Trailers and Temporary Structures. Exce...

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...

Pet Peeve #1 - Tinted License Plate Covers

Image
  AO(Q?)H 152 My #1 pet peeve is heavily-tinted license plate covers. These are prohibited under South Carolina law (and by laws in many states), but my belief is that these drivers are seldom stopped.  These drivers can run red lights, speed, tailgate, even cause hit-and-run accidents, and witnesses can only say, "I couldn't see the license plate number." My solution? Troopers, deputies, and cops should stop these cars. Ticket the driver. Remove the license plate frame, tinted cover, and license plate as evidence. This will force the driver to have his car towed, because he cannot operate a motor vehicle on the roads without a license plate. Make it inconvenient and expensive. Drivers KNOW they are violating the law. They expect to get away with it, and they do. It's time for this to stop! Pet peeve #2: heavily-tinted front windows.
