Barefoot Resort Tyranny

I sent the following “email” to all my state legislators:

I am a resident of Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach, Horry County, South Carolina. Barefoot Resort contains over twenty separate home and condo associations. All associations rely on the Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc. for maintenance of the common “spine” roads and swimming pool amenity.

The Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc does not act or conduct themselves in accordance with their charter rights, privileges, and State Law within their NONPROFIT incorporation.

  1. The Joint Committee board is not elected by members.
  2. The Joint Committee does not recognize themselves as a mutual benefit corporation.
  3. The Joint committee provides bogus financial reports.
  4. The Joint Committee board members secretly file unauthorized agreements that benefit their own businesses with costs passed along to the community as maintenance expenses.

Please compel the South Carolina Attorney General to investigate the acts and conduct of the Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc. The Joint Committee’s legal team includes the Grand Strands infamous Robert “Shep” Guyton.

The community lacks resources to counter this pillage on its own.

I pray the AG will dissolve the extralegal Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc. and free the Barefoot Resort community from its tyranny.

Respectfully,

Gregory B. Snow

North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582-8400

My community and HOA representatives are disappointing in their acceptance of tyranny from the racket associated Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc. The city and U.S. Courts have accepted it too. I tried the State dysfunction once before, but it’s time to try again.

I beg my fellow neighbors, community members, HOA representatives and everyone else to spread the word of this tyranny. Call your friends. Call your legislators. Call the media.

Don’t call me. I don’t have the energy to take on swindler extraordinaire Shep. But it would be nice to hear his story of the Barefoot archeological sites.

Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc Dissolution

  • The Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc (JC) is incorporated as a “mutual benefit corporation” under the “SOUTH CAROLINA NONPROFIT CORPORATION ACT” with “members who will vote for the board of directors”.
  • The JC board of directors is elected by subservient directors, not members.
  • The CPA certified December 31, 2020 end of year JC financial statement contains bogus nonsense in the “NATURE OF ORGANIZATION” note.
  • The City of North Myrtle Beach pays the Barefoot Joint Committee the sum of $1,111.50 per month which is not stated on the JC financial reports.
  • The Barefoot Resort Joint Committee President and Vice President are engaged in filing secret agreements outside of any recorded meeting which benefit the developer (the JC VP) at the expense of the community.

I pray the South Carolina Attorney General will find the Barefoot Resort Joint Committee does not act or conduct themselves in accordance with its charter rights, privileges, and State law.

I pray for dissolution of Barefoot Resort Joint Committee, Inc.
