The economy of scale is unaffected, the contracts and POs are let by the District Purchasing Department not the individual CDDs. The costs per property/CDD/other unit are included in the breakout of the bids that are returned. Purchasing then lets one contract to the supplier/contractor and then bills the appropriate amounts to the correct party.
This has been in the works for almost 2 years that I know of because of the growth that is and will continue to happen.
There are a lot of things driving this, mainly the major differences in landscaping, nature areas, and other infrastructure that are significantly different between north and south of SR44. The other is the size of PWAC, currently 9 members, this will drop it to 8 and stop the addition of new CDDs to PWAC with 12 and above being in PWAC2.
Please attend you CDD meetings over the next 2 weeks, district staff in presenting the information that was given to PWAC and SLCDD to each of them.
This is not something your Supervisors/PWAC is jumping into without a lot of thought and planning. District staff recommended making the transition 10/1/2021 but PWAC disagreed and made the decision to wait until 10/1/2022. There's no hurry to do this and it keeps the shared risks shared between more CDDs and limits the developer's power over the PWAC2, residents can be elected to the CDD13 board in the 2022 Landowner election for 3 of these seats and then have a say for CDD13 on PWAC2.

I agree anyone who is concerned about it, if it affects them (or if they think it will affect them) should attend the meetings.
Just as an aside, I don't live in a CDD. I also don't live in Sumter County. So this has no effect on me at all. But it's about the Villages, and I live in the Villages, and it's a topic of interest.
