Should Danny Trapp Answer These Questions?
Question for Danny Trapp:
Q. When did Danny Trapp first become aware that Patricia Pollin was not eligible to be on the Board of Directors of The Summit's HOA?
At the November 7, 2023 Board Meeting it was announced that Trapp had been elected to the Board. After that meeting, and before the next Board Meeting on December 5, 2023, two directors quit. Greg Thomas had just been re-elected (2023-2025), and he quit. No reason was ever given.
When the board-officer election meeting was held on about November 10th, out of the public's view, Vernell Butler was not re-elected by the Board as Treasurer, and he abruptly quit the Board, leaving his 2022-2024 term-of-office and the Treasurer's position vacant.
The Board failed to announce the two vacancies and quietly filled them.
Patricia Pollin was nominated to succeed one of those who resigned. She should have been vetted by the Property Manager. What was the result of that vetting process?
To be considered as a candidate for appointment, Pollin had to be a Member of the HOA (homeowner-of-record) or the spouse of a Member. She was neither. Being in Good Standing was not a factor for her, because she was not the Owner of the property.
Since Pollin was neither a Member nor a spouse of a Member, how did she pass the vetting process? Or did she?
Whom did the Property Manager inform about the result of the vetting process?
How did that happen? (The Property Manager should have informed each Board Member.)
In spite of Pollin's ineligibility, Board President Trapp has never brought up the issue to the full Board, according to the Minutes of Board Meetings.
Several board members voted for Pollin without knowing that she was not eligible to be appointed.
There is nothing the Board could do now to keep her on the Board, because Pollin today is still not a Member of the Association. The house in which she lives is still in the name of her late husband.
The vacancy on the Board created by Greg Thomas' resignation still exists. All votes by Pollin should be nullified.
There are, in fact, three vacancies on the Board at this time. The seat occupied by Pollin, plus the seats occupied by Noel Weatherbee and William Hill. Weatherbee and Hill are not legitimate directors and are usurping the positions of Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. The appointment process on July 1, 2025 failed.
