What the heck is going on ?!?!?
Have you checked you mail lately and wondered What the heck is going on? We so have we. It seems our community of 1100 owners is being hijacked by a few disgruntled residents. These people have either never been elected, been removed from the board for cause, resigned when things didn't go their way, or have not lived here long enough to be a candidate.
We finally have a General Manager with strength and business acumen to run the daily business of Diamondhead and allow the Board to make policy decisions as it should. It is the responsibility of the Board to set the budget for the entire facility and the General Manager and his department managers to adhere to the overall spending for the year. Our volunteers have long been the backbone of our community, but committees function as recommending bodies, not as the governing body. You elected board members to oversee all of Diamondhead, not just individual sections. Many times the committees don't have the whole pictures, the Board and the GM do.
The dues income, if everyone paid, is less than $800,000/year. And yet we are still able to hire quality employees that are dedicated to their jobs and the wellbeing of the community.
My question to you is, how did a half dozen people with such hatred in their hearts for Diamondhead ever choose to live here?
It is time to stop the madness. Exercise your voting rights. Allow the Board to do its job and keep Diamondhead a place we all want to come home to.
