Failures of the Office (and of the Board)

Why hasn't the June Summit Scoop been published? Today is June 10th.

Why haven't the Minutes of the March 2026, April 2026, and May 2026 Board of Directors Meetings been published on the website?

Why haven't the Financial Operating Results been published for September 2025? October 2025? November 2025? December 2025? January 2026? February 2026? March 2026? April 2026? May 2026?

Why hasn't the 2026 Proposed Budget been approved and the 2026 Approved Budget been published on the website?

When will the HOA announce which neighborhoods now have legitimate, duly-elected Voting Members, following recent bonafide Neighborhood Meetings and elections?

How will the Board of Directors correct the 2025 election of directors, which did not comply with the By-Laws of the HOA? 

Directors were elected by people ("recognized" Voting Members) who were not entitled to vote. This was admitted in the January 2026 Board Minutes, where the final paragraph reads,

New Business 

A Board member acknowledged concerns regarding the recent election process. Legal counsel advised that while the process was not ideal, the Board may continue as seated and correct procedures in the next election cycle. 

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't like that legal advice. 

The "process" (election) definitely was not "ideal". It failed to comply with the By-Laws. Ineligible voters were allowed to vote. That's called Election Fraud. The HOA has NO bonafide, legitimate, duly-elected (or duly-appointed) Board Members at this time. 

This is why the HOA is finally beginning to fix the problem with Voting Members.

The HOA does not have a legitimate Board of Directors. State law requires one. This should be fixed ASAP, not in November 2026. But it can't be fixed until a Meeting of Voting Members can be called with a quorum of legitimate, duly-elected Voting Members.

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...

"Neighborhood Reps Needed"

For the past few months, the Summit Scoop has carried an "ad" on Page 1 for "Neighborhood Reps Needed." Interested persons are invited to contact the Summit office. The ad informs homeowners that the neighborhoods of Indigo Springs, Autumn Glen, Waverly Place, and Pineclave need Neighborhood Representatives. What the ad doesn't tell you is those four neighborhoods represent 19.6% of the Association. More than 475 homeowners (out of 2,480) are not represented and have not been represented in years past. The responsibility for assisting neighborhoods in filling the position of Neighborhood Reps falls to the (HOA's) Neighborhood Committee, currently chaired by Reginald Mack and previously chaired by Jesse McClinton.  What does the office tell a person who contacts it about becoming a Neighborhood Rep? Does the office tell the interested person to pick up a form and "get signatures", or does the office tell that person to read and comply with the By-La...

Sept. 2nd Board Meeting - Any of This?

At last night's Board of Directors meeting, were any of these items discussed? Was there any discussion by the Board about removing Danny Trapp as Board President? Update on lawsuit against Gus Philpott and (failed) Motion for Contempt that had been filed on May 28, heard on July 24, and decided against the HOA on August 29? How did that Motion even get filed in May without the approval of the Board? Report on the total costs on the lawsuit already paid by the HOA and the pending bills for legal work already performed? Discussion about how the lawsuit against resident (not homeowner) Gus Philpott even got started, since it is prohibited by the CC&Rs and was never approved by the Voting Members or  by the Board of Directors? Who is responsible for that? Who, if anyone, authorized Board President Danny Trapp to direct that the lawsuit be filed in December by the HOA's then-new law firm in the name of the HOA? Delivery of the 2024 Annual Audit? Did the auditor, Becca Brendle,...
