Board Meeting - Tues., May 5, 6:30PM

The Board of Directors is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, May 5th, at 6:30PM at the North Springs Park Community Center.

You wouldn't know it, though, as the HOA's May 2026 online Calendar is entirely blank, there has been no emailed announcement of the meeting, the Board went to bi-monthly meetings effective March 3rd, and the only mention of May 5th meeting is in the March and April Summit Scoops. (Who reads those?)

At the May 5th Board Meeting will the Board explain

  1. why how it was in the best interests of the Association to remove Jeff Lummel as Vice-President and replace him with Noel Weatherbee?
  2. whether there is a plot to remove Brenda Bryant as President and Linda Potter as Treasurer?
  3. what the Board is doing to reduce or eliminate the friction between Board members that is disrupting the business affairs of the Association?
  4. why the Board has not published the Minutes of the March 3, 2026 Regular Board Meeting?
  5. why the Board has not published the Minutes of the April 6, 2026 Special-Called Board Meeting?
  6. why the Board has not published any Financial Operating Results for September 2025, October 2025, November 2025, December 2025, January 2026, February 2026, March 2026?
  7. why Cash & Cash Equivalents dropped $445,336 between 1/31/25 and 1/31/26?
  8. how much money the HOA wasted on the lawsuit against Gus Philpott and what efforts are being made to recover the estimated $25,-$30,000 in illegal disbursements of HOA funds for legal fees and court costs?
  9. why the Board "recognizes" 23 Voting Members who were never elected by their neighborhoods?
  10. why the Board allows four Neighborhoods (approx. 20% of the HOA) not to be represented at all by a Voting Member, even an illegitimate one?
  11. why the Board has not appointed a chairperson and members to the (HOA's) Neighborhood Committee?
  12. why the Board has not appointed a chairperson and members to the Nominating Committee?
  13. why the Board met with the ad hoc committee on Governing Documents on March 22 and with the presumptive Voting Members on March 23?
  14. how the ad hoc committee even came into existance and whether it is a legitimate committee?
  15. why one Board Member is challenging the legality of the 2025 Neighborhood Meeting of Barony Place?
  16. whether the Board recognizes Tracy Manderion as the legitimate, duly-elected Voting Member of the Barony Place neighborhood, following the May 2, 2026 Neighborhood Meeting that complied fully with the By-Laws?

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...

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...

And They Are Still MIA

What are still MIA? February 2025 Financial Operating Results; April 2025 Financial Operating Results; March 2025 Financial Operating Results. Minutes of the 5/6/2025 Board of Directors (BOD) Meeting. Why haven't these been published on the HOA's website?  And where are the Internal Forensic Audit for 2023 and the External Forensic Audit for 2023? Where is the 2024 Annual Audit? Soon the Minutes of the 6/3/2025 BOD Meeting should be making their appearance. Or will they? What has changed in the Board's unwritten policy for informing 2,480 Members of the HOA about the Association's finances and monthly meetings? For years these documents were posted on the HOA's website. Not always on a timely basis, but they were posted.  And now??? The Voting Members should be complaining on behalf of their Neighborhood's homeowners. Are they? And, if they are not, the homeowners themselves ought to be complaining and demanding an explanation.
