Accounts Receivable $498,000+

As of October 31, 2025, the Accounts Receivables of the HOA (Line 1205) totaled $498,673.65.

Why did Danny Trapp and his friends in the majority on the Board (Holmes, Pollin, Hill, Weatherbee) allow A/R to reach almost one-half million dollars?

The financial statement for October 2025 was available at the November 18, 2025 BOD Meeting, but it has not yet been posted to the HOA's website. 

Will the HOA's Finance Committee prepare and the Treasurer of the Board present a report to the Board (and the Members) of the calculations in the Accounts Receivables? For example,
  • how many homeowners are indebted to the HOA for unpaid dues?
  • what is the ageing of unpaid dues?
  • what amount is owed by each property?*
  • how many debts are about to be written off?
  • how much was written off in 2025? 2024? (Did any Boards ever discuss write-offs at monthly BOD Meetings?) The PRM covers write-offs at Art. III, §C, ¶3 (Page 17).
  • the allowance for uncollectible debt (Line 1210) is $297,737.41. How accurate is that?
  • what real efforts are being made to collect unpaid dues and how effective are they?
  • what is the Board's plan, going forward, to collect unpaid debts?
  • what is the Board's plan, going forward, to avoid non-payment of dues?
  • what percentage (and number) of homeowners pay their dues on-time (by January 31 (or July 31, for the second half)?
  • should the HOA foreclose on properties to collect unpaid dues? If so, how soon?
  • does the HOA have an effective plan to "work with" owners experiencing financial hardship?
  • if a property owner makes a Payment Plan with the HOA and does not adhere to it, what action does the HOA take?

* If confidentiality of debt is granted to homeowners, at least the amount could be identified, and the property identified by a code (number or letter,  if not by name or address or Lot Number).

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...
