The three commercial Districts have five person boards that are all selected by the Developer as the Developer owns all of the land in these 3 CDDs. All of the residential CDDs (1-11) will eventually have a five person board elected by the residents of each district.

When the district is first established, the board is selected by the developer as there are no residents to vote in that district. Over a set time frame establish by the State of Florida for CDDs, all of the supervisors will be elected by the residents. Most of The Village residential CDDs already have all resident elected supervisors. Everyone must follow the rules as set by the State of Florida.

To see the agendas and minutes of the meeting for each District, go to the districtgov.org web site then your district.

Do not districts 1-4 already have elected residents on the boards?

No not all the CDD's. The developer's control over the CDD's are phased out over a period of time and are eventually elected by the residents. . It is the VCDD's I speak of. These Districts indirectly control the entire government of the Villages. My particular VCDD District is located within the Spanish Springs Commercial District. There is also a Lake Sumter VCDD District composed of the Sumter Landing Commercial District. There is only one voting landowner in each of these districts, that being the Developer. Not a single Villages landowner (resident) lives in either of these districts. Therefore the District Boards are elected by the Developer who as I stated is the only landowner. Janet Tutt is hired by these Developer elected District Boards. It is an easy assumption that the Developer would have some influence over the Boards and Ms Tutt's decisions. Ms. Tutt is an important part of the CDD's. ARC and other government agencies regarding finances etc.
