Robert's Rules of Order Works!

Note:  After coming home early Saturday morning from a vacation, Joe Claflin methodically gathered the information needed to attend Sunday evening's meeting.

Board Member Keith Harrison stated on his way into the meeting that "In my opinion, we were wrong (in that action taken Thursday).  I have appologized to Rick".

Yes! Robert's Rules of Order Works! 3 days notice before any meeting by the Board of Directors gives the membership of Diamondhead time to let their Board know how they feel regarding the issue.
Thank you!  You did it! I am so proud to live in a community where the people came out in support of "due process".

The Executive Board meeting took place at 6:pm last evening, June 10th.

Vice President Dan Munroe                   Director Faye Taylor

Treasurer John Porter                            Director Ray Massey

The Board met in the Library behind closed doors for almost an hour.  Joe Claflin was voted in as President of the Board of Directors.

Meeting by Board Members

I try not to pass on “Rumors”.   I have made it a goal to only report facts in this newsletter.  When I hear information, I do the research needed to disregard, or substantiate, the issue of concern.   I need to report on a meeting attended by select Board members where DPOA business was discussed.  This meeting was not advertized 3 days in advance, as instructed in our By-Laws:

            Article V                                                                            

Section 2:  Special Board Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held when called by the President of the Association, or by any two (2) directors, after not less than three (3) days notice to each director.  Notice of special meeting shall be posted in conspicuous places in the community in order to notify property owners of the meetings.

                Section 3:  Quorum.  A majority of the number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board, unless specified otherwise in these By-Laws.

Only select Board members were informed of this meeting that took place last Wednesday evening, July 6^th.   Business was conducted when these select Board members decided to present an offer to employ a new general manager.  The offer of $50,000 was presented (or discussed?) to Dave Johnson of Hot Springs Village.  Mr. Johnson was once the General Manager of The Village, where he received in excess of $100,000 per year.   We were told by President Ray Massey at the last Board meeting of Thursday, June 23^rd , that Todd Belz would be the acting GM until the next Board met on August 20^th to decide to keep Mr. Belz as GM or “replace him with someone of their choosing”.  Recorded on June 23^rd and posted on June 28^th in the Diamondhead Committee Report.
