And although I think Goldwingnut would be completely trustworthy to vote on the details of management of the CDD, I really don't want the structure changed. Unfortunately not every one will have the intelligence, the background, the good common sense that Goldwingnut has.

I understand that the deferral rate needs to be dealt with. I just don't want to see something well run, mishandled.
I agree with Gracie.....having the residents in charge is a slippery slope. It creates an expectation that those elected will always work in the best interests of the residents. The posts on this site clearly show that there are residents that are only in favor of reducing costs or cutting back. When the Goldwingnuts of this place retire from public service or are defeated the residents hand over their future. The Developer is the only one with enough skin in the game to protect his family's vision and our lifestyle.
