I think I also read that The Developer would provide some funds from this amenity fee to pay for Community Watch.
Am I close???

You are correct about the developer collecting the amenity fee on the HH redevelopment project, they will provide will staff and maintain the new amenities to be built and so will use the amenity fee revenue to pay for this. Yes, they will also pay the $4.08/month/unit Public Safety supplement and will pay for the Community Watch services provided. The $10+/- amount mentioned is the approximate cost per month per home throughout the rest of The Villages that they will also pay. If they enlist any other services, which I think they will, from the "District" such as staffing, then they will pay the cost incurred also. Yes, this is exactly like all the other amenities south of SR44 and at The Lofts.

Just to be clear the other CDDs (numbered residential and Brownwood) DO NOT collect Amenity Fee payments, as they have no ownership or involvement in their operations. The Amenity Fee north of SR44 to CR466 is collected by the owners of the amenities, the SLCDD, and north of CR466 they are collect by the owners of those amenities, the VCCDD.
