Why should they be on the hook for something that slows down automobile traffic, for the benefit of those of us in TV who drive golf carts? Which makes me wonder if that is the reason that the enforcement and repair of damage to these devices seems to fall on TV.

The gates are either an amenity paid for and maintained by amenity funds or they are infrastructure paid for and maintained by annual maintenance funds. I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Either way, no Sumter County budget dollars are used to maintain the gates.
