These community development districts are all GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, established under Florida law. That is the system established by the Developer.

No not wrong at all. The community is made up of CDD's who actually are under the control of the Developer and after a particular time lapse the developer must give up control of a CDD and allow the Residents to elect the boards. Now you have the SLCDD and the VCCDD. For at least five years the Developer has control over the CDD's and control over the SLCDD and VCCDD for as long as he remains the only landowner in those Districts. For want of a better explanation, the two Districts are the fathers over the CDD children. Therefore, we probably will never have any control who serves on the District Boards. Many of those board members work for the developer. At one time one gentleman serving on the VCCDD was the caretaker of the buffalo. Who do you think he usually agreed with ???
