There was discussion about guardrail issues during at least one board meeting a while back. IIRC, a number of them (some district responsibility, and some state) need to be replaced or repaired for a variety of reasons, including some that needed to be updated to comply with newer standards. I...

I know the Board said back in April that they had no 'desire' to readopt or ratify the agreements, but I don't think they ever formally reviewed them and voted on whether to seek readoption, did they? (Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere. I haven't managed to catch up on the whole...

Yikes… they attached his email and posted it on their website without redacting his address and contact info.

Thanks for the update. I was able to find the new LBV notice but not Bay Lake. Are you able to point me to where you found this please?

Also, City of Bay Lake now lists the position of City Manager as ‘open’ too. And both cities show the position of “Building Official” as open. I don’t think this was the case the last time I looked, but I’m not sure.

This might be an additional meeting? The City of LBV had noticed a “regular” meeting on Sep.11 at 5:35 p.m. to address the budget, and that hasn’t changed on their website. But I did find a Notice in the Orlando Sentinel of a “special session” on Sep.11 at 4 p.m to address such business as...

They’re seeking legal costs against the state as part of the case in federal court, but the state isn’t a party to the case in state court.

"Until the new board was appointed, Disney enjoyed undue influence over many businesses in the district." Do they really not know that most of those businesses are leasing from Disney? BTW, Thanks for the excerpt from the Sentinel. I hadn't seen it because it's paywalled.

The board meetings have been... let's say "interesting".

I wonder how long the cities will continue to exist as separate entities?

Based on Disney’s last filing in the state lawsuit, the cities might end up as parties too. That possibility, plus the disagreements over the millage rate and who’s paying for police security services, may have contributed to a decision to more clearly separate the public face of the three...

I think Classe was required to leave the Lake Buena Vista position when his employment with the district ended. The employment contract he signed in May for the "special advisor" position contains a 2-year non-compete clause. (BTW, Gilzean's contract does not contain such a clause, as far as I...

👍 One note re. the contracts: I found an older contract for the firefighters and it contained the same term re. the Disney benefits as the new contract. I assume RCID had included it in every labour contract because they couldn't guarantee that Disney (a third party) would continue to offer the...

And some (maybe most?) of those others are paying taxes as part of their lease agreements with Disney.

(…) I didn’t click to the new name until the latest notice was posted today, so I looked him up: he was an Aide to GOP members for several years, until July 2023.

Sorry if this was already noted elsewhere: The City of Bay Lake was scheduled to have a meeting this morning to replace two resigning councilmembers.

Gilzean proposed the millage rate at last meeting and the board approved it. I believe someone said that would lock the approved rate as the highest it could be for the year (I can’t remember for sure whether that was discussed at the meeting or I read it elsewhere). After that at least one of...

You’re absolutely right, and they won’t be passing legislation to fix this anytime soon, but Disney people/lobbyists must be making efforts to at least discuss a solution, because it’s currently their best option in a world of bad options. Changing up some board members and getting an agreement...

It will take just as long, but you can make direct referrals to the I.G. from within the app.

Yup, and it sure *seems* like the people currently running the district have neither the inclination nor the expertise to deal with its day-to-day management. But going through the court process, including appeals, could take just as long or longer? Plus the ultimate outcome at court is always...
