Let us know what the lawyer you meet with has to say.

possible rec center salaries
 

About the only thing I can think of would be the salaries of people to work inside of the rec centers that have been closed for 3 months and some rec centers that continue to be closed.

I’m all for getting money back for services not rendered. However, even during the lockdown, maintenance needs to be done, utilities need to be paid, as well as payroll. You want the Villages to be The Villages then it takes money to maintain that.

Rick, I really don’t think coming here complaining will convince TV to lower or give any amenity fees back. TV still have to maintain TV. I’m sure in a nice way they’ll tell you, if you don’t like it, move out! That’s like any of your utilities, if your not home for a while you can put it on vacation but you’ll still pay a fee. I don’t think TV will reduce it either. Maybe you can protest it & get your way like they did with the G. Floyd protest. Good luck Rick!

Does that mean that Snow Birds that only utilize the amenities a few months a year, should not have to pay when they are not here?

I understand your thought process but as was stated, up keep and maintenance still continued on Rec Centers, golf courses and pools. An aid check of $1200 was received per person in The Villages, what percent of the folks here really needed that do you think? Should we be returning that money to the government so the folks that truly need that help could receive more aid?

Rick, how much of your "government money" are you sending back, since you didn't do anything to earn it? Unless you already spent the entire amount to stimulate the economy (since that is why you got it), a full or partial repayment seems appropriate.

You are not entirely correct. Any business operation has two types of costs. At least in the short run, there are fixed costs and variable costs. By closing the facilities, I am sure The Villages management have done what any rational business management would do: that is, to minimize the variable costs. Thus, total costs should have been reduced at least somewhat. This could be justification for a partial rebate of the amenity fees collected during this period. In the long run, all costs are considered variable because complete shut down or abandonment of the enterprise is an option.

Im in NY and have been out of my school building since March. I work on line a third of my regular school day. I'm still getting my regular salary and the district is still paying their school taxes. Im sure the people who maintain and work for the Villages also still need to get their income. Hence, we need to still pay. I pay every month but am only down there a few times a year.

It could be, but it's not.

Do your homework on this subject first and if you still do not understand , then you you may have moved into a home here and are in over your head.:bigbow:

With all that has been published on this topic and the facts as they are provided by Gold Wing Nut multiple times on various websites, people still do NOT get it.

Best option for these people is to Move Away and leave common sense residents here.
