My purpose for posting...

I've been asked why I posted a private, 'Executive Session', email message which was obviously intended for Board members only. Here is my response:

• The Blog description is located at the top of the Main Page:

"This private report contains information regarding our community; Including Board & Committee meetings and opinions regarding events that affect all of us. The sole administrator of this Report is Diane Porterfield. I do not work for Diamondhead nor any individual person. The ONLY purpose for this Report is to share information with members of Diamondhead. All minutes, articles or opinions must be signed before they will appear in this Report. This Report is not sanctioned by the DPOA."

• The Board members make the decisions in Diamondhead
• The Board president, Mary Pracht, recently stated: ‘This Board is getting ready to do detrimental things to this community that I will not be a part of.’
• After making additional, and alarming statements, Mary Pracht resigned the DH Board of Directors. Her comments can be viewed by clicking onTown Meeting of July 23, 2015
• I received pertinent information regarding a Board member's decision to resign her duly elected position.
  • Yes, I was aware of the 'private' nature of this information.
  • Yes, I knew I would be crossing a line set by DH management & DH Board of Directors.
• “Those who ignore history, are bound to repeat it” - George Santayana
  • We must learn by our mistakes. The content of General Manager James Turner's email was a repeat of 2012 GM – Buddy Hudson. Mr. Turner & Mr. Hudson have 'outside' business concerns. History proves that a general manager must not work from home, but is needed & expected to be present, on campus, available to the community.
• Diamondhead Property Owners have a Right to Know what is going on in their community / their financial investment. Diamondhead is a corporation.

Interesting perspective on Annual Meeting

This is a Facebook message posted by DH member Kerry Bratton posted with permission from the author:

Last night’s “event” was like a sitcom. You have board members reading to us like little robotic puppets about things that really don’t matter when you consider the big picture. Then you have those that “run and tattle” when a question is asked by one of the “violators” (you know, those that have violated the norm and have chosen to stop feeding the pig). Boy, that brought back memories of elementary school. I am sure you all remember THAT kid that was the tattletale queen/king. Maybe our tattletale should sit and be quiet for a few minutes and become familiar with the By-Laws. Enough on that, but what I have thought about more and more today was the attorney and his statements. I know others have provided various information so much of this is probably not “news” to anyone. Here is what I picture based on what the attorney said……..won’t be long and he will have filed liens and will begin to file some foreclosure actions. We all know that when he starts, you can’t pick and choose so a potential for lots of them. Rock on down the road a ways and think about driving through the gates and seeing homes that have been left in ruins due to foreclosures and the lack of interest to live in this rathole any longer. Then, shortly after renters by the bus load move in. Now these won’t be renters that you would want living next door, oh no, these will be those that really give pay-back to the board. Sorry, but this is what I see after having heard this man for the couple of minutes he spoke. I do not think it is appropriate that he has many other business interests of obtaining properties in what I would consider in a wrong manner. I bet when he became familiar with DH and all the issues, he became so excited he couldn’t wait to come out here. I did a search on the Secretary of State’s website and found the following incorporated businesses listing Durbin as either the incorporator or agent for service. The two names list the same address. In short folks, I smell a rat!! Time to get serious about this fiasco called Diamondhead BOD and GM.
me City State Status
DURBIN ENTERPRISES LLC HOT SPRINGS AR Good Standing BEAU DURBIN
DURBIN FARMS LLC HOT SPRINGS AR Good Standing BEAU DURBIN
DURBIN PROPERTIES, INC. PRESCOTT AR Good Standing MICHAEL W. DURBIN
HORIZONS OF HOPE, INC. HOT SPRINGS AR Good Standing MICHAEL WILLIAM DURBIN
MWD PROPERTIES LLC HOT SPRINGS AR Revoked MICHAEL W. DURBIN
SPLIT RAIL, INC. HOT SPRINGS AR Good Standing MICHAEL WILLIAM DURBIN

I am not saying that Durbin has done anything wrong, illegal or otherwise. What I am saying is that by appearances, things don't look just right. I am providing a link for the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct in the event anyone would like to take a look. Here is that linkhttps://courts.arkansas.gov/…/%5Bcurrent%5D-arkansas-rules-…

Also, here is a link to a page containing a grievance form should anyone find the need for that. https://courts.arkansas.gov/administra…/professional-conduct

AGAIN, just saying something smells fishy NOT saying the attonrey has done anything wrong.
