If it can’t be explained in one paragraph forget it. Don’t expect a complicated matter to turn out well with the usual suspects involved

About one and a half years ago a commission was put together to look for solutions to the ambulance response times. The ultimate outcome of that effort was adding ambulance service to both the VPSD and the SCFD beginning the first of this month. Service did start under the VPSD but I think there is a delay with the SCFD side of things. Recent articles have mentioned the large number of calls that have been received and the good response times in the Villages. Hopefully, that continues in the Villages and is also seen in the rest of the county once the SCFD begins providing that service. During the vote of the ad-hoc committee, a motion was made and seconded to combine the VPSD and SCFD rather than keeping them separate. The motion was defeated at the time but some link the current push for the IFD back to that motion. One of those on the ad-hoc committee who was associated with that motion is a newly elected commissioner. The IFD would protect the VPSD from that same motion being made at the BoCC level. |

But, there are people who will read and will analyze and will educate themself. I have extensive experience with city, county and state fund accounting and budgeting and Don did a great job accurately explaining. I believe there are some who learned. The Usuals, they will continue. :pepper2: |

That was no battle. That was a silly campaign promise, promised by inexperienced candidates, an believed by some voters. |

As it turns out, in reality neither the BoCC nor the voters control the county: the decision was taken out of their hands and the commissioners were removed from the BoCC. |

Voters didn't care about a minor increase in the Impact Fee...........they wanted the 25% reversed. |
