From Edwin Mass:.....And they’re not going to try to siphon off amenity funds by drastically cutting back on maintenance of the amenities. Remember that a few years ago they got a little too cavalier about dealing with mold issues in some Rec centers as well as trying to pass off maintenance of the multimodal paths onto the numbered CDDs that had these paths. The Villages Property Owners Association (POA) sued them and got an out of court settlement of 40 million dollars to be pumped back into the special CDD over the next nine years. The first major benefit of this was the funding of widening of the paths that was just completed.....
I see no guarantee that they won't try to siphon off amenity funds again. And we'd have to sue them again, and hopefully we, the residents, would prevail. But it takes years for the lawsuits to go through, and they'd have use of our amenities money in the meantime.
