The Villages governance structure is complicated. The one question I get asked by friends is around governance, who is elected, etc. Given all the interplay between county, city and the best interest of the residents of The Villages, it could not be a simple structure, especially given the growth.

County Commissioners (5) area elected
City Councils - Wildwood, Lady Lake, Fruitland Park, Leesburg - are elected (5 each)
Residential/Numbered CDD boards are elected (5 each)
Commercial CDD boards are landowner elected (5 each)
AAC is landowner elected
PWAC is appointed by their respective CDD and are one of the elected supervisors on the CDD board

The growth really only affects the number of CDD boards that exist.

VCCDD receives the funding from the county for VPSD and $4.08/mo/home ($50/yr/home) from the Amenity fee paid, both are combined together and puts it into the VPSD operating fund - transfer in-transfer out, much the same as the county does with its general fund.
