Yikes.
I would suspect Disney continues to do their own internal inspections which will likely be more thorough than a state inspection anyway and the state inspections are just added bureaucracy and a waste of time and money.…..which I guess is the point.Does the state have the resources to do the inspections? How are such inspections usually carried out?
it's kinda weird sounding to me... but we lack the full context.Does the state have the resources to do the inspections? How are such inspections usually carried out?
Does Florida have a bunch of pool inspectors on the payroll sitting around with nothing to do?Yikes.
I would assume this was always true. Even if RCID was doing inspections, nobody involved would want an issue to show up first as part of that inspection no matter the relationship.I would suspect Disney continues to do their own internal inspections
Is there any source beyond this one side blurb in the CNN article? It's attributed to "a source" and "DeSantis said" and without any references or direct quotes. Things that lose a lot of nuance and details.which will likely be more thorough than a state inspection anyway and the state inspections are just added bureaucracy and a waste of time and money.…..which I guess is the point.
Edit: from a quick web search it appears pool inspections fall under the Florida Department of Health in each County so I suppose that means mostly Orange and a little Osceola counties.
I guess DeSantis may be placating the donors and assorted crazies he appointed to the new board who were shocked to find the job involved overseeing mundane tasks like this rather than being invited to preview screenings to review and approve new Disney movies and television shows!On the flip side, if it reduces RCID expenses that will free up some cash for new lawyers without impacting other services.
There were fees associated with the pool permits and their renewal, so I’m not sure much would be saved.On the flip side, if it reduces RCID expenses that will free up some cash for new lawyers without impacting other services.
Yikes.
Is that a quote from The American President?Very true.
People vote against their own self interests all the time. I could prove it on a map…but I’d need a laser pointer and an easel.![]()

So does that mean the counties are picking up the extra tab to inspect Disneys pools?Correct. County health departments already overwhelmed by other responsibilities. And no budget to take on the extra task.

And before now who was doing it? RCID?FLDOH would use the county health departments in this instance. Which, as a unit of FLDOH, would receive funding from the state through the agency's appropriation.

Honestly the change was supposedly made on the 29th, which was after the news came out about the development deal.. My guess is this is a way to try to cause Disney pain. Shut down pools.Which won't be as thorough as what RCID was doing. The state agency responsible will be the Florida Department of Health. I imagine the burden will fall on the county health department.
No - this is a normal customer pays situation.So does that mean the counties are picking up the extra tab to inspect Disneys pools?

From what I could find the inspections are done twice a year. Disney has 30+ resorts including DVC and most have multiple pools so I would guess maybe 70-100 total pools to inspect times 2 for twice a year so 140-200 inspections a year. My guess is a single inspector could cover more than one pool in a day but who knows. Even if he did 3 pools a day that’s still 12 work weeks of extra work so 1/4 a full time worker (FTE) added. If he could only cover 1 pool a day then about 1 FTE. so in the grand scheme of things not a huge extra cost to the counties but it isn’t nothing either.So does that mean the counties are picking up the extra tab to inspect Disneys pools?
Makes sense, thanks!No - this is a normal customer pays situation.
People are reading WAY TOO MUCH into this. AFAIK RCID didn't do any of the health inspections previously. I think this single comment from an article is more about regulations that maybe Disney's deal didn't include.
But they do have to find something actually wrong. The Governor can’t just decide to shut down a pool on a whim.Honestly the change was supposedly made on the 29th, which was after the news came out about the development deal.. My guess is this is a way to try to cause Disney pain. Shut down pools.
