Anyway, these District Centers are administered by a governing board. I live in the VCCDD, others live in the SLVCDD. Mine is the Spanish Springs area with no residents living inside it's boundaries.. Now for an example; Our VCCDD board members are elected by a single vote from the only landowner in the VCCDD, that landowner being the Developer. The VCCDD board then hires a district manager, which at this time is Janet Tutt. She is paid thru Residents funding and in theory works for the Residents. I can think of no reasonable explanation how we Residents have any control over the District Manager or the VCCDD. Do these facts make it reasonable to assume a District Manager and the Central District board would be supportive of the Developer in any Developer/Resident dispute ??? I simply don't think this is the best system of government for we Residents.

So, if I understand you correctly:
The AAC has no connection to the CDDs. Was it set up for administering the $40M?
The CDD boards are elected by the residents in that particular district.
The VCCDD and SLVCDD boards are "elected" by the only voter, the developer, since there are no other land owners in those unique CDDs.
The VCCDD and SLVCCDD manage the amenities (exec golf courses, rec centers, etc.
So, in essence, the developer controls the amenity fees, budget, etc.
Is that correct?
