And to insure that the residents/landowners have a voice. There are over 600 CDD's in Florida, it's not just a Villages thing

The old ones kept telling us. "Save your money". What money we laughed, we make so little. Save your money they said. From somewhere, give up something, don't buy something, they said. Do without something but save your money. You never know what is going to happen. Save your money they said, even if it is small, save it. Some day it will keep you from starving.

Second, costs and sevices do not go to zero when the rec facilities close. May I suggest that you attend Resident Acadamy to learn how our community functions. |

Ever hear the expression "I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you"? You can keep trying to explain it to people but I'm thinking your head will feel better if you stop. Last edited by CWGUY; 04-04-2020 at 11:37 AM. |

Why should they do that? The facts of how the system works would likely disprove their slander.

Each month $4.08 of the amenity paid by each and every home in The Villages is budgeted to the Department of Safety. North of CR466 this amounts to $1,083,599 and south of CR466 $1,813,340 or about $3 million total. These numbers are from the 2019-2020 SLAD and RAD Amenity budgets. The total budget for the Department of Safety is $17,023,608. Why is this done? Because the residents of The Villages want a higher level of service than is normally received, and we receive it. How you may ask? Two prime examples: 1) smoke alarm battery change out, if you call public safety they will come out and change your batteries for you so you don't have to climb on a ladder or chair to do it, this significantly reduces the risk of falling, and 2) their work with the AED programs and their responsiveness give you about a 40% chance of survival from a heart attack, nearly 5 time the national average. I for one have no issue with the <3% of the collected funds going to Department of Safety. Seems a good investment to allow many/any of us to enjoy our amenities and time on this earth a little longer.
