“Now that you are generally familiar with the District concept, let’s describe the election process and the Board of Supervisors who oversee the activities of the District. Initially the Board of Supervisors, consisting of five members, is elected based upon land ownership. The legislature, in creating Chapter 190, recognized that in order to maintain continuity of the facilities provided to the newly developing community, that the developer, who then owns the majority of the land should be granted the right to substantially complete the project as envisioned by the various land use and zoning approvals that were obtained as part of the development review process. However, the legislature also recognized that at the time prescribed by statute, control should transition to the residents. Therefore, at the election held in 2006, one supervisor was elected by a landowner vote (one vote per lot owned and/or one vote per acre owned). In addition, two supervisors were elected by "qualified electors" (registered voters) residing in CDD No. 4. From this point forward, all elections in District 4 will be qualified based elections. This election conversion format ensures that the residents ultimately control the level of service provided to the infrastructure facilities that the District maintains.”

By all means, let what the Developer controls (the 3 commercial Districts) under the rule of law control. As the citizens will eventually have sole control of District 1-11 and more, please encourage people to run for office and others to participate in the processes of government.

Yes, I am proud to have served and thankful others have also served! A democracy needs good people to serve and participate.
