Concerned Citizens of Southern Shores, NC

Alarmed by the current investigation by WTKR News Channel 3, the CBS Affiliate in Norfolk Virginia, we the undersigned residents of the Town of Southern Shores, County of Dare, North Carolina hereby submit this second petition calling for and independent investigation of the alleged Official Misconduct on the part of certain members of the Town Council of the Town of Southern Shores, North Carolina.

Specifically we petition George E. B. Holding, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina and Frank Parrish, District Attorney for North Carolina's First District refer the following allegations to the Federal Bureau of Investigation:

-  Reasonable belief exists to support allegations that Mayor James (Hal) Denny, Mayor Pro-Tem Jodi Hess and Councilman George Kowalski hold frequent secret Council Meetings and communications to the exclusion of council members James Pfizenmayer and Kevin Stroud and the citizens of Southern Shores in violation of North Carolina General Statute: Article 33-c GS: 143-318-10 (d).

-  Documents exist to support allegations that Mayor Denny unilaterally conducted secretcommunications with NC State Representative Timothy Spear directing Spear rescind the previous Town Council's unanimous resolution calling for Local Legislation establishing Special Elections to fill vacancies on Town Council. It is further alleged that this act was done with the intention of excluding Pfizenmayer, Stroud, and the citizens.

-  Mayor Denny with the secret support of Hess and Kowalski changed the priorities of the Town's Capital Improvement Plan to rebuild Poteskeet Trail before other town roads.  NOTE: Denny owns and resides at 85 Poteskeet Trail and he stands to benefit personally and financially by this action.

-  The news investigation indicates that Denny, Hess and Kowalski have secretly met, communicated and colluded with Southern Shores Volunteer Fire Department Chief Bob Harvey to modify a brand new 10 year contract and awarded them an additional $1.3 M.  This was done secretly and to the exclusion of Pfizenmayer and Stroud.  NOTE: Kowalski was the Chairman of the Board at the Fire Department when the 10-year contract was unanimously ratified by the Fire Department and the Town Council and Kowalski is still a high ranking member of the Fire Department and his votes on this matter benefit him and his organization personally and financially.

This is one of many transmittal's that have made the rounds here.  Let's take a look at each of these individually.
