Neighborhood Reps Needed

 According to the October 2025 Summit Scoop, four neighborhoods need Neighborhood Representatives. They are Autumn Run (80), Indigo Springs (141), Pineclave (33), Waverly Place (264). This means that 518 homeowners (20.9%) are not represented in the HOA!

Autumn Run is a new vacancy. 

Autumn Glen had been on the list, but a homeowner now is recognized as its Voting Member.

The election for four directors will be held on November 11, 2025. 

A homeowner in Indigo Springs has been busy collecting signatures to become recognized as the Voting Member for that neighborhood before the Voting Members' Meeting. But he might not get to vote on November 11th.

The Voting Members for Autumn Glen and Fawn Ridge also might not get to vote on November 11th.

Why not?

Because Board President Danny Trapp whined to Brookland Baptist Church Northeast, resulting in a Trespass Notice being issued to those three and to one resident by the Church. That Notice bars the four from Church property and could keep the three Voting Members away from the election.

Could those three Voting Members keep Danny Trapp from being re-elected to the Board?

The Church is reconsidering the Notice that it issued. Should it have gotten the whole story before deciding, rather than just taking Danny's word for it?

For example, the Church banned me, based on Danny's complaint that the Church received on September 15th. I had never created any kind of distraction or disturbance, and I hadn't even been in the Church since February 4, 2025!

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...
