No not all the CDD's. The developer's control over the CDD's are phased out over a period of time and are eventually elected by the residents. . It is the VCDD's I speak of. These Districts indirectly control the entire government of the Villages. My particular VCDD District is located within the Spanish Springs Commercial District. There is also a Lake Sumter VCDD District composed of the Sumter Landing Commercial District. There is only one voting landowner in each of these districts, that being the Developer. Not a single Villages landowner (resident) lives in either of these districts. Therefore the District Boards are elected by the Developer who as I stated is the only landowner. Janet Tutt is hired by these Developer elected District Boards. It is an easy assumption that the Developer would have some influence over the Boards and Ms Tutt's decisions. Ms. Tutt is an important part of the CDD's. ARC and other government agencies regarding finances etc.
