Also, as I recall the developer made a contribution that significantly reduced the monthly amount due.
I am sure others will respond and fill in the gaps.

The large increases that have been recently discussed were for the Maintenance fee, not the Amenity fee. The Maintenance fee is billed annually as a non ad valorem (not tied to property valuation) item on your tax bill. The Amenity fee is billed monthly. The OP's best bet would be to contact the customer service number listed on the bill. I have found those folks to be very friendly and helpful.
For those affected and/or interested, there will be a meeting to lay out the proposed Maintenance fee increases for 2025. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 12th at 11:00am at Everglades Recreation Center.
