Sept. 2nd Board Meeting - Any of This?

At last night's Board of Directors meeting, were any of these items discussed?

Was there any discussion by the Board about removing Danny Trapp as Board President?

Update on lawsuit against Gus Philpott and (failed) Motion for Contempt that had been filed on May 28, heard on July 24, and decided against the HOA on August 29? How did that Motion even get filed in May without the approval of the Board?

Report on the total costs on the lawsuit already paid by the HOA and the pending bills for legal work already performed?

Discussion about how the lawsuit against resident (not homeowner) Gus Philpott even got started, since it is prohibited by the CC&Rs and was never approved by the Voting Members or by the Board of Directors? Who is responsible for that?

Who, if anyone, authorized Board President Danny Trapp to direct that the lawsuit be filed in December by the HOA's then-new law firm in the name of the HOA?

Delivery of the 2024 Annual Audit? Did the auditor, Becca Brendle, attend last night's meeting?

Delivery of the 2023 forensic internal audit?

Delivery of the 2023 forensic external audit?

Resolution of the three vacancies on the Board?
  • Pollin is ineligible to be on the Board
  • Weatherbee was improperly appointed
  • Hill was improperly appointed
Lack of legitimate Treasurer and Secretary on the Board? Hill and Weatherbee were improperly appointed. They cannot be officers.

Discussion of commitment to comply with the CC&Rs, By-Laws, and published Guides of the HOA?

True financial condition of the HOA? Why have Reserves dropped precipitously?

Status of RFPs to management companies. The two-year contract with CAMS expires December 31, 2025. HOA must notify CAMS by October 1, 2025, on intent to terminate services. Did Board vote last night on renewal or termination of contract with CAMS?

Status of proposed 2026 Budget preparations? Who from "a wide cross-section of community members" will be involved in the budget process? (PRM, Art. III, §C, ¶4(c))

Was the HOA's lawyer there to explain to the Board members their liability in continuing to act as they are? He wouldn't advise on their personal liability, because he is the HOA's attorney. (They should get that advice from the personal attorneys.)

How many of these items were listed in New Business or Old Business on last night's Agenda?

June 3rd BOD Meeting now Closed to Members

The HOA office sent out an email at 3:29PM that read, in part, Due to Brookland Baptist Church being unavailable to accommodate the scheduled Board of Directors meeting on June 3rd, the meeting will now be held at the Summit Association office. Please note that space is limited at this location; therefore, only Voting Members and Committee Chairs will be invited to attend in person. One would think they would splash a message on the homepage of the HOA's website and change the location in the Calendar on the website; but No to both.  This last-minute change is highly adverse to the interests of the Members of the Association. The HOA must have some deal with Brookland Baptist Church Northeast for the rental of the meeting room. The dates must be arranged for the year. The HOA makes a "donation" to the Church for the use of the room. It's actually not a "donation", because the HOA receives something of value in exchange; i.e., the use of the meeting room.  Wh...

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...

What Story Do the Financials Tell?

At the May 6, 2025 Board of Directors meeting, the March Financial Operating Results were available. Did you pick up a copy? Was there any discussion of them? Usually there is not. Do board members examine them before the meeting? Does anyone on the Board really understand them?  Look at the page for the Operating Expenses - Variances. Twelve Line Items are shown. No totals are shown. Big mistake. But are the totals intentionally omitted? For these 12 Items the total of "YTD Variances" is $61,784.93. As of the end of March, the HOA has over-spent the 2025 Budget by $61,784.93. Look at the reason given for the over-spending in Line Item GL-5111 Irrigation Contract. "This is over budget and will remain over budget due to the 2025 budget is $75,000 and the monthly contracted cost is $10,140." Is this worded to intentionally confuse any reader by stating the annual amount in the budget, but the monthly amount for the contracted cost? If the yearly contract for Irrigat...
