Winston, didn't you mean to say that the heading says "VCDD" ?

Anyway, look here:
Your Community District

The term VCDD refers generically to all the CDDs that make up what is known as "The Villages". It should not be confused with the individual CDDs. The VHA proposal is to turn over the plot of land to the CDD that has jurisdiction over that area, namely the VCCDD.

Maybe I should start charging a consulting fee. Perhaps 1 happy hour cocktail per day.

This is so funny.

With all these “Vs” “Cs” and “Ds” getting all tangled up it should be pretty obvious that Happy Hour is well under way right now down there in Florida. Wish I was there.

It seems to me that VCDD and VCCDD are used interchangeably. Is there a difference between the two? And if so, what does VCCDD stand for? In any case...I send my checks to the VCDD, since that's who sends me the bill.

There are a lot of rumors and speculation going around today. I wouldn't put much stock in any of it.

There is a definite difference between the two as EdV has pointed out. I thought about this after I made my post.
VCDD is the overall government of the Villages. There are 12 districts within that government. Ten are simply called District1, District 2, etc. The other two districts are the lake Sumter District and the Villages Center District. I'd never heard it referred to as the Villages Center Community Development District but it definitely is. It does make it confusing when people refer to "The District".
The question I have is, is Janet Tutt head of the VCDD or the VCCDD?

See, this is just what I've been talking about and what Janet Tutt was talking about. Is it a boondoggle or have the powers that be settled the thing? What has made it appear to be a boondoggle is all of the rumor and speculation on social media sites and among the residents themselves.

Maybe it is a boondoggle, but maybe it was just an over sight that has been rectified.

Ed, vcdd was in fact the entity I referred to, Technically in error. I stand corrected.

One persons oversight is another's boondoggle. If you look at the definition of a boondoggle this one fits pretty well.

That is not an "official" Villages golf cart path. It was bult by Villagers and never authorized.

Janet Tutt is the head of the VCDD. Is that not the entity to whom the lot will be deeded?

I talked to Janet Tutt. She took the time to explain that the developer put up the wall, for security reasons. She defends the idea that it was Not SNEAKY, and she praises the fact that a solution was reached so quickly. She would not appologize for the way the way was built, but insists its for security reasons. The wall should come down very soon, possibly as soon as this weekend, or Monday. It will be a gated access,for residents only. I suggest you all call Janet Tutt, the District Manager . Her number is 753 6430. Her e mail is Janet.tutt@districtgov.org. I sure did not hear an appology for the way it was built, I heard a defensive position, of a person spouting the politically correct answers. She seamed more conserned about the cost to replace the " damaged" grass, then the residents. Sallie Schwarz

It is to keep the golf carts from stone crest out...They did not buy in TV so access to the cart trails are off limits...Simple

I wonder if the cart path from Tarrson to the post office and Circle K will now be closed for security reasons.
It is really unfortunate that Ms. Tutt did not apologize for the way that this was handled or explained more clearly why the gate suddenly, after 20 years presented a security risk. That is the kind of behavior that keeps the misinformation and speculation going.
But hopefully one the wall comes down and we are able to get to the medical facilities, Lowes, Aldi and all the rest of those businesses all of this will stop.

Or the one gate in Silver Lake that is wide opened and doesn't even have an arm?

You can't get blood out of a turnip.

Apparently this is the way the owners choose to operate. They aren't transparent and they don't much seem to care if their decisions are popular. Those of us who foolishly hope for the best and want to see good and think positively will continue to do so and those of us who very realistically want things solved immediately and the reason known for why things happen and for people in charge to behave graciously may again be disappointed.

Will the end justify the means? I selfishly hope so. I moved here for peace and good times.

I said I wouldn't post until the gate went up.

See how much resolve I have?

Good morning. It's a beautiful day in The Villages. We have fewer days ahead then those behind. Enjoy the heck outa this one.

the gate
 

well the good news is, aside from the nonsense, is that a lot of 'lurkers' became members of totv which will make the advertisers happy and keep the forum healthy!
