They are no different than many other structures and facilities in the community owned by all the CDDs that fall under the agreement, the key difference in my mind is that these are purely ornamental and have no functional need or requirement.
Knowing well the current PWF budget and having seen the proposed budget that is still being worked for next fiscal year I'm still on the fence with this "emergency?" budget item. How did they get in this condition so fast? Why are we only just now seeing the problem? How does a real windmill last decades on a farm but just 10 years in the town square? What will be lost if both are just raised and not rebuilt? How many residents have ever noticed they even existed? What are the legal responsibilities for the Project Wide Agreement to keep/replace the feature? These and many more unanswered questions need to be answered.

Don, thanks for your knowledgeable, and non-snarky, answer. However, I'm still confused. What part of the square does the developer own and maintain, and what part do we as Villagers own and maintain? (And who reaps any profit derived?) Since every inch of the squares is available to non- Villagers, why are residents (through their amenity fees) required to pay for maintenance of this property?
