Who Is Running the HOA?

On February 12 the Board President emailed me, writing in part, "I am requesting you not contact me with suggestions or comments on how to run the Association."

That was after I had requested a meeting with the board, and she responded by saying that they were unanimous that "no settlement will be offered". I hadn't asked for a settlement; I had requested a meeting!

She was polite in her message (which some other board members have not been), and so I have not contacted her again.

But who is helping her run the Association? Any of the other Board Members? The hired Property Manager? Any of the Voting Members? Anybody?

The Board of Directors has seven directors. It is the Board that is responsible for running the Association, not one person. If there are failures, they are of the Board, not of one person.

The Association (HOA) has big issues. If you have read recent articles here, you know what they are.
  • Failure to publish the 2024 Annual Audit;
  • Recovering the cost ($25,-$30,000?) of the lawsuit against me that violated the CC&Rs and was never approved by the Board;
  • Purchase of an annuity on a board member with Reserve funds ($126, 351.61);
  • Huge drop in Cash ($445,000+) between 1/31/25 and 1/31/26;
  • Failure to publish the 2026 Approved Budget. (Did the Board ever approve it?);
  • Failure to publish monthly Financial Operating Results after August 2025;
  • Failure to publish the Minutes of the March 3, 2026 Board Meeting promptly.
With the cancellation of BOD meetings every month, what decisions will the Board be making in private? Will the Board meet in workshops, pre-board meetings, and other non-public (to Members) meetings that are not fully reported promptly in published Minutes? 

Danny Trapp tried to shut me up with an illegal lawsuit last year. That didn't work. It was "illegal" because it was filed in the name of the HOA, but the lawsuit was prohibited by the CC&Rs (Art. XIII, §10 Litigation) and the Board never approved it (because it couldn't.) The HOA should recover all the money that was paid out for it.

The Voting Members should be demanding answers and action, on behalf of their neighborhoods. Are they?

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 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...

About Fines in The Summit's HOA

Do you bother to inspect the Budget when it is proposed for the following year? Do you ever examine the monthly financial reports of the HOA? How much do you think the HOA will collect in fines this year? How much do you think the HOA collected in Fines last year? The Line in the Budget that you'll want to look at is Line 4600 Fines - Violations. Sitting down? In 2024 the HOA collected $57,446.91 in Fines. The amount budgeted in 2024 was $20,000. In 2025 the HOA expects to collect $50,000. As of June 30, 2025 the HOA has collected $38,670. At this pace the HOA will collect $77,340 in the full year, or $27,340 (55%) more than estimated in the Budget. Why are fines running so high? Should the Board just grin and rub their hands together in glee, or should the Board create an ad hoc Committee to examine the Fines category and determine what can be done to reduce the penalties on its Members? If you were the Board President, what would you do? Just smile and spend the money, or invest...
