At the May 5, 2015 meeting of the Security District Advisory Board, Sandra Hastings announced her resignation; and Mr. Wagner declined to continue on the board due to business conflicts. The chair has included this information in her letter to Comm. Rice regarding the advisory board's vetting of the candidates.

Also at the meeting, current member, Sandra Hastings, expressed a desire to resign effective immediately, leaving an additional vacancy. She will be submitting this resignation in writing. Richard Sherman filled a vacant term and thus has not served a full term. He is interested in continuing and the Board is supportive of that desire. Billy Wagner had indicated a desire to continue to serve but has concerns that his interest in working with the Resort and the Residents of Duck Key in conjunction with his sori s Emergency Management Planning Co. might represent a conflict. We spoke and I believe reached the conclusion that everyone's interests might be best served if he could continue in this objective unencumbered by his relationship to the Board. The additional nominees are Tom Davis (who was not present at the meeting), Sylvia Hernandez (Who is in Spain but confirmed she should have no issue abiding by the attendance requirement) and Mary Balaz, past member, who was present at the meeting. In addition, the Board discussed the upcoming renewal for the Security Company and agreed to recommend renewal of the Duck Key Security's contract for the next year. We also agreed that during that time we will be reviewing the performance duties desired and will be prepared to bid the contract out in six months.
