News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[Brian]

…why? Super original name by the way.

I guess Dumpster Fire Department was already taken.

It's like Ron Swanson (of Parks and Recreation) picked the name.

"I wanted to communicate the nature of the department without sounding braggy."

Of course, this would be his plan B, with plan A being fighting all the fires in the district himself, at no cost to the taxpayers.

I thought this was all done back in January??

Reedy Creek Fire Department announces new rebranding

With a new year comes a new name and look for the formerly known Reedy Creek Fire Department after announcing its rebranding.

Guess someone forgot there's a formal process to do so.

It's almost as if they're not qualified to hold their positions on the Board.

Ya think?

Courage! Fire! Honor!

That's what those who rescue bring to the table!


Perhaps the FIRE and RESCUE could have been red lettering on gold background to cue one that they should be read together.

This is the funniest thing I've read so far today.

Maybe it means the legislature should "rescue" the district by having the "courage" to do the "honor"able thing and "fire" the CFTOD board.

ding ding ding indeed

Totally missed this one. Up until recently SFWMD permits were filed by RCID. I assumed they would switch to CFTOD so I have also been searching that. This permit was filed directly by Disney so I didn't find it in my searches.

From the Disney’s Animal Kingdom thread about Dinoland.

This is something to watch going forward. Reedy Creek Improvement District predates the municipalities because it started as the Reedy Creek Drainage District. Water management is something the District took very seriously and was one of those areas where they were quite demanding.

After months of back and forth to get deposition dates for the Board members, they were finally scheduled for late March and early April, starting with Garcia on March 22. Disney filed notice of the dates on March 1.
Yesterday, March 19, after 5 pm, CFTOD filed motions seeking protective orders to prevent Disney from deposing them. (There are 2 motions: 1 in the lawsuit filed by CFTOD and 1 in the Public Records case filed by Disney.)

 

[Isamar]

BTW, Garcia’s Affidavits in support of the Motions confirms that his tenure ended earlier this month (on March 6 or March 8, depending on which of his Affidavits you’re reading).

Yep.

I believe the technical term for sworn statements not being in agreement is “not good”.

 

[Stripes]

The logic here is mangled and pathetic. (From the affidavits in order to support their motion rooted in the apex doctrine.)

I really liked how the affidavits say they have no unique and personal knowledge about the district’s responses to public records requests because (they essentially assert) they each did their best to personally identify and disclose the records from their personal devices.
