One thing I didn't mention in the original post was that the deferrals enacted by the implementation of the Deferral Rate can and could still be implemented at any time. When the recommendations of the PWAC and AAC to discontinue the Deferral Rate were acted on by the SLCDD and VCCDD respectively no reinstatement of deferred CPI adjustments were executed. These deferral reinstatements are still an option and could be executed by SLCDD and VCCDD at any time if the need arises.

The PWAC and AAC act in an advisory role to the respective owning districts and have no authority to take action on properties they have no ownership of (the laws are funny about things like this). Yes, the AAC has no authority over the amenities they do not own, their authority was only over the use and expenditure of the funds received in the lawsuit that enabled the AAC creation. Careful review of the establishing documents for both committees validated this.

The reality of the PWAC (in its amenity role) and the AAC is that they shield the responsible CDDs (SLCDD and VCCDD) from having to deal with the residents directly. After dealing with resident inputs the committees make recommendations to the responsible CDD, then the CDDs make the final decisions and take the necessary actions to execute those decisions. Neither CDD has ever overridden the recommendations of their respective committee, doing so would effectively end the protections they receive from the committee and they would have to deal with the residents directly, something they probably would like to continue to avoid doing.
