Yes, it really does.
By moving the SCFD to a separate fund the BoCC are indicating that a separate source will be found to provide income to that fund. This is likely to be a tax levied on the non-Villagers portion of the county. They *could* include Villagers in that tax but if they were going to do that it would be easier just to leave the SCFD in the General fund.
To be clear, we won't know what is going to happen until the actual 2024 budget is presented next July by the BoCC but at this point it appears Villagers will not be paying for the SCFD.
