On the public safety comments relating to possible “crippling” of county budgets.
This overview of RCFD poped in my news feed today. It’s older, but a good review of their services.
As the sole provider of emergency services for Walt Disney World properties in Orlando, Fla., Reedy Creek Professional Firefighters have one of the most unique missions in the country

Regardless if it will cripple the budget or not, it’s not a good thing to dump a specialized department into the county decision making process. Who will get the nod for extra equipment, extra training, extra staffing if it’s Disney vs the local residents (who vote for the now decision makers btw)
Sheriff coverage is basically a contract city which would just become “public” responsibility, but that’s all I really know about that side. The reedy creek coverage might be lower than the Disney property coverage which I would assume Disney pays for special duty on private property, but not 100% on that either.
