I keep reading on this thread that we, the residents, have no say about what happens in our district. The following was copied from
Village Community Development Districts and relates to District 6.
============
Now that you are generally familiar with the District concept, let's describe the election process and the Board of Supervisors who oversee the activities of the District. Initially, the Board of Supervisors, consisting of five members, is elected based on land ownership. The legislature, in creating Chapter 190, recognized that in order to maintain continuity of the facilities provided to the newly developing community, the developer, who then owns the majority of the land, should be granted the right to substantially complete the project as envisioned by the various land use and zoning approvals that were obtained as part of the development review process. However, the legislature also recognized that at the time
control should transition to the residents. Tprescribed by statute, herefore, at the election held in 2006, three of the five Supervisors were elected by landowner vote (one vote per lot owned and/or one vote per acre owned). The same process will occur in 2008. In 2010, one supervisor will be elected by landowners and two supervisors will be elected by "qualified electors" (registered voters) residing in CDD No. 6. From that point forward, all elections will be qualified based elections.
This election conversion format ensures that the residents ultimately control the level of service provided to the infrastructure facilities that the District maintains.
