Town Meeting - April 28, 2011
Town Meeting – 6:pm
Mr. Massey opened the meeting by announcing that “next month we will have our regularly scheduled Agenda meeting, Town meeting and Board meeting”.
Treasurer's Report -Tom Lockette
“We wrapped up our fiscal year on the 31st of March. If we take away the cash that was collected on the current dues from our cash balance, we had a positive cash flow for last year of $13,400.00. We were expecting around $40,000, but there were several items in March that we went ahead and did in March and transferred those items out of this year’s budget. We did some things early, so this is the main reason we did not get up to our $40,000 [Contingency Fund]. I still think $13,000, in today’s economy, is a real good deal for us.”
“We collected on a little over 600 houses and about 600 lots last year. This year’s budget we expect to loose another 100 lots.” This year’s budget reflects this expected lose of income.

Agenda Meeting
No Agenda Meeting was held today.
Last week a meeting was held without letting the members of Diamondhead know about it. This week a regularly scheduled meeting was not attended. When asked about this, Jack Watson, Terry Shipp and Mary Pracht said, "I do not know what will be on the agenda" for the Town or Board meetings. Charles Wood thinks it will have something to do with the Family Fun Center. Messages were left for Ray Massey and Tom Lockette. There was no answer for Betts Winsor. It seems each of the board members were told not to attend the meeting scheduled for 10am this morning.
Board Candidate JoAnn Rhodes has been attending each of the last several Agenda meetings. JoAnn was there this morning asking why the room was empty.
Jack Watson, Terry Shipp, Jim Hannon, Mary Pracht and Charlie Wood confirmed that there will be four interviews for the position of Chief of Police scheduled for Monday & Wednesday evenings. These candidates are Jerry McAnear Jr., Steve Smith, Joel Tyner, and Lauren Shanek.
Trying to serve our community,
Diane
