Board meeting opened @ 7:pm with the May Board minutes. Minutes were approved unanimously with one
correction – the spelling of a name.
Golf Dress Code:
Golf Committee liaison, Larry Hibbs read the revised version of the golf dress
code as approved by the golf committee. Main
concerns:
These issues apply to golfers & non golfers
- Shirts worn at all times – midriff covered
- Must wear golf shirt with or without collar
- Tank tops / under shirts are not permitted
- Final discretion lies with the golf shop attendant on duty at the time (attendant’s job depends on following the direction of the GM).
This updated Dress Code was approved – 4 to 2 – with Gordon
Moore & Sharon Carr voting against this motion.
Election:
President Chris Wasson explained the reasoning behind the Board’s decision
(straw vote) to continue with the voting process for the six (6) positions with
six (6) candidates. “The members of
Diamondhead should have a say in which candidates receive the 3-year, 2-year,
and 1-year terms of office.”
Straw vote was confirmed with Sharon Carr & Jim Ott
voting against this motion.
* Note: Todd & Marcia Walker have removed their names from the Ballot.

Ballot: Director Suzie Combs made a motion to strike
the sentence “Vote For Up To 6 Candidates”. Suzie explained her hope that more members
will return the ballots with this sentence removed from the ballot
instructions.
This motion was passed unanimously.
Insurance Quotes: GM Malloy recommends DH stay with ABI
Insurance firm. There will be a
$2,000.00 increase in cost over last year.
Law enforcement liability is included.
Motion made to accept Mr. Malloy’s recommendation. Motion passed unanimously.
Handicap / Employee Parking:
Vice President Larry Hibbs described the
need for female employees needing to park close to the building due to the walk
to their car in the dark. Director
Gordon Moore suggested research be completed as to the number of handicap
parking areas required by state law. The
Board agreed to allow our general manager to make this final decision regarding
parking space needs.
Children’s use of the
Club House facility: GM Malloy
explained the need for adult / parental supervision for minor children. The Board agreed to allow management to
insure safety and security to DH facilities at his discretion.
H-3 Status: A request was made for H-3 status during last
month’s Town Meeting. This property
owner was told that ‘H-3’ status does not exist. President Chris Wasson wants to inform the
community that, in fact, H-3 status does exist in Diamondhead and sited several
instances. Some lots do not lend
themselves to the construction of a home / garage without the purchase of
additional land. “H-3” designates ‘3’ lots purchased for the Home site while paying one (1)
annual dues.
Complaint – misconduct: Director John Porter reported a complaint
received from a concerned property owner.
This DH member observed golfer(s) in the act of urinating behind a tree,
rather than using the appropriate facility.
The GM was instructed by the Board to inform golf course marshals
to be watchful of this issue and report any further misconduct. A repeat offence
will receive swift judgment / action to insure appropriate behavior.
Tailgating: Vice President Larry Hibbs answered a
complaint regarding the lack of the ‘tailgating’ feature at our front entrance
gates. Larry repeated his frustration
with the installation of the Lift Arm Gates.
GM Malloy has been researching this issue for advice from other
automatic gate installers. Please see

Meeting adjourned at 8:30pm
