How Much Is HATE Costing the HOA?

The Board of Directors of The Summit's HOA is supposed to be acting in the best interests of the Association; i.e., 2, 480 Members of the Association.

Town & Country, the Property Management Company, works for the Association, not for the Board of Directors or for any of the directors. Is it telling the Board about the Association's problems and what they need to do to correct the problems?

The directors are supposed to set aside personal agendas and petty differences.

Instead, they are acting like Members of Congress - taking stands that are not supported by the CC&Rs, the By-Laws, and the published Guides of the Association.

What does this cost the HOA?

They aren't taking care of business.

Example: $445,336 "vanished" between 1/31/25 and 1/13/26. To verify this, compare the Cash & Cash Equivalents on those two dates.

What happened to almost half-a-million Dollars???

The HOA does not have a legitimate, duly-elected Board of Directors or any legitimate, duly-elected Directors. Why isn't the Association fixing this?

The current Board has been in place since November 18, 2025. That's almost six months. Maybe not enough time to fix the director problem entirely, but they have not even started on it.

There is no (HOA) Neighborhood Committee. No chairperson. No members. This Standing Committee is needed to fix this problem. Why isn't the Board appointing a chairperson and approving members of that committee?

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.
