I would like everyone to understand what I was stating candidates night. I do believe in the by-laws Article X. It states books, records, and papers be subject to inspection by any member of the association for personal, non-commercial purposes. It does not state records can be generated for that purpose. Therefore, I stated that as a board member I would not be in the office asking or trying to get those records. The details are not my concern. It's the bottom line that as a board member I would be worried about. I would not worry about the number of carts on the golf course. That is worrying about the ants being on a picnic while the bears are going to eat you up. The response that was posted was what Diane Porterfield wanted you to hear. Generating reports to a member should not be something that should be asked unless "I" was auditing the books as an expert. I am not an expert on this association but I have audited companies while in the work force. I am retired.
I stated also that we have excellent managers and employees that I have TRUST in. That was not in your interpretation of candidates night.
The Code of Ethics for DPOA board member was not brought up or asked about. I would like to answer that question whether I would sign it if I was elected. I WOULD be glad to sign it. Number 1: I would hold the betterment of the membership of DPOA as my priority, including during all participation and voting matters. I have no hidden agenda. I recognize that I am obligated to act in a manner which will bear the closest public scrutiny. That means I swear to not turn the board into a circus act. Or other functions that occur in Diamondhead. I would not abuse my power as a board member over any employee that I am entitled to or expect any special treatment. We have a General Manager that controls employees. I would not interfere with that. In no way would I want to see or inspect personnel records. I will declare any conflict of interest that I might have be it real or potential.
My personal views of INeighbors are from my own experience with it. Questions were asked and I would answer but it seems as if the members would not like or take my answer. They want to sit behind their computers and respond. I said "look up" from those computers and get out and enjoy the view. It looks pretty good from where I sit in Diamondhead. Come to the meetings and get involved.
I would like to represent you on the board of Diamondhead. If I am not elected to the board doesn't mean I will go away. I am here to stay.
