Gracie, that is the structure of Florida's special districts or community development districts. They are set up by state law with a provision that the "power" or voting rights in ALL districts, after a period of six years, start being turned over to the residents. It is based on a formula, very simply, of land ownership within the district.
It just happens that the original side was taken into the town of Lady Lake. People living in this area of TV are still part of TV and have all the same rights that every other resident of TV has-and then some. The only governing body associated with us who are living in the original portion of TV is the Amenities Authority Committee. We have elected officials representing us, that being the town of Lady Lake. You, and every other resident of TV has a representative on the AAC. I go to their meetings periodically. It is very interesting. I've petitioned them and gotten positive results to improvements at one of our pools. They don't bite and all seem to be wonderful, concerned people who listen and talk to you.
