We should have a new RIZ Board in place as of 12/22/07. Congratulations to the newly elected members. I personally look forward to following your endeavors to improve the quality of our lake and surrounding community.
I was saddened to see no mention of the RIZ Board elections or election results in the December "Diamondhead Dispatch". Since it has been stressed how important the RIZ Board is to many of the projects at the lake I would view this as pertinent news.
Suggestions for the new RIZ Board:
1. Review the state law concerning your board, responsibilities and duties. Ignorance of these state laws is unforgivable. http://www.legis.state.ia.us/GA/77GA/Legislation/SF/02200/SF02284/Current.html
2. Abide by the state open meetings laws. Anything any board at the lake does should be done in a manner that is above board and public. Matters that should not be dealt with in the public forum are clearly detailed in the open meetings laws, as well as the process to deal with them.

3. Foster a constructive working relationship with the other boards that deal with our Lake community.
4. Include the community in your process. Participation will provide positive support for your projects.
