Who makes the decision to close rec centers, ballfields, pools, country club pools, pickleball/tennis courts, golf courses- exec and champ? The same person? I have watched GOLDWINGNUT's videos explaining amenity fees (and Kudos to him for explaining bond v maintenance fee v amenity fee) so I understand the monetary part a bit better. But I still am unclear on who makes a decision as to what and when things are closed. Since amenity fees pay for upkeep of rec centers, pools, courts, I would think District Board of Supervisors have input but with so many Districts the idea that they would all agree on closure seems unlikely. So is it John Rohan, Director of Recreation? And then presumably someone else decides on golf courses. But who is that person? Kind of curious now.

Also I find it somewhat ironic that the Sales Trolleys and Open Houses continue. So Village employees can drive the trolleys and narrate the tours but they can't staff rec centers? Hmmm.

:ohdear: Do you live here? You don't have to answer. Here's some info. for you. There are lots of ways to learn how things work here. I looked into it before buying 15 years ago.

Why do "Snowbirds" that leave their homes in the Villages for months at a time are leaving all those potential missile sitting out in their lanai knowing Florida is a hurricane state, then have someone go around picking it up for them? :shrug:

Always better to be safe than sorry. Sometimes I push myself so hard everyday that having a few unscheduled days off from normal activities can be a good thing in the long run.

:ohdear: I think she was answering the OP. I may be wrong. She has made only one post "No - I don’t" Your reply to her has me confused. :shrug:

Why? One word....stupidity.

When we were seasonal home owners, we left nothing on the outside of our home that could become a potential missile. Everything, including hoses and hose reels, was stored inside while we were gone 9 months of the year.
