Several years ago, I testified in Columbus, Ohio at an Ohio Power Siting Board legal case concerning the placement of wind turbines in our county. My testimony was concerning the aviation aspects of the case. I could understand the close relationship of the wind firms to the state regulators as both worked together to write the regulations and thus established close personal relationships in the process. Because of these close ties, it seemed one was working against a stacked deck to present any new thoughts for changes to those regulations.

Was Mr. Moyer working for the Villages at the time of his helping the State of Florida write and adopt the CDD rules? If he was working for them, I wonder how the “However, the legislature also recognized that at the time prescribed by statute, control should begin a process of transition to the residents” was included. If he wasn’t working for them at the time, I can see why he is working for them now. He must be a sharp man.

Are you a lawyer?

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

My grandfather was a lawyer in Chicago. Does that count? As some are interested in houses and lawns, I have always been fascinated by the inner workings of local government.

I just knew that. The moment you struck your first key stroke. I was just as inquiring as you but I didn't share the journey on TOTV. Thank goodness everything panned out to my satisfaction. Hope you find it all works fine too.

I found some more insights for me as to the workings of The Villages from this 2012 article. According to the information presented, Mr. Moyer started working with Mr. Morse sometime around 1992 which is after the Florida CDD rules were written.

" This decision was in
the best interest of the residents
of The Villages, because
this alternative made sure the
lifestyle provided to each resident
continues in the future,
which is the “special-purpose”
of the local District government.
It is important to note
that the amount of monthly
amenity fees would not change
under any of these scenarios,
as they are contractual obligations.
The only change is that
the facilities went from private
ownership to public ownership,
which allows residents to
participate in decisions affecting
the lifestyle that all residents
enjoy.
Now that the history of the
VCCDD has been explained

I was reading the agenda and minutes for District 10 May meeting when I noticed that they are awarding a contract for a “BIORESTOR” Asphalt product that has apparently be used by many Districts in The Villages. This particular firm, Asphalt Systems is located in Sidney Ohio which is about 30 miles from Urbana where I am located. My wife who has spent years helping to create and develop the Simon Kenton bike trail in Champaign County and beyond tells me that the Pathfinder group will be using this same firm to resurface their trail later in the year. Never know what interesting tidbits of information can be found when reading things on the districtgov.org web site.
