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

[WannaGoNow]

As stated, the body that makes the policies is not the policies themselves. If this were the case then the agreement would not have survived dissolution.

Yes, the agreement would definitely survive dissolution. Also, negating the contract just because a body is dissolved is illegal by federal and state law. That’s part of the reason why DeSantis did not dissolve Reedy Creek but instead replaced it.

This prevents the board from doing something like rezoning Wide World of Sports as single family residential or requiring all projects to go through public development review.

Yes! The board cannot do anything except what is outlined in the agreements already standing!

Therefore, it doesn’t matter what they call themselves or how they rearrange themselves, they have no authority except what it is already granted in the documents. And if they try to stymie Disney or do not live up to the agreements, then Disney can seek legal redress.

The board’s resolution is political theater and has no teeth, as the experts interviewed by the Orlando Business Journal clearly state.

DeSantis made this comment on Thursday evening. He may be referring to the board meeting on 4/19.

There will be several presentations that day by the district’s legal team in addition to the board considering the two resolutions. I’m sure someone or several people from Disney will be there.

Resolution 638 also hasn’t been released to the public.

It has - it should be on display now per the public announcement of the meeting https://classifieds.orlandosentinel...eeting-you-will-/AC1E044909eaf2028DxD3p734A05

Also, several media outlets have seen it.

Yes, I finally figured out the thing I have been consistently explaining for well before you jumped in all thanks to you.

 

[WannaGoNow]

What’s in it?

Sorry, my mistake, Stripes is right. The Orlando Business Journal has Resolution 639, not 638. But per the public announcement, it should be on display.

You are so welcome, glad to have cleared up all your confusion on this matter Like why the Sentinel was so “lazy” or that contracts cannot be dissolved just because the body is dissolved.

I requested the resolution but was told that per special district counsel the resolution would be released later “this week” which was last week. Nonetheless, it hasn’t been released to me yet, nor does it appear to have been released to others.

These last few meetings have not been held in the RCID building. Is there a reason they are hesitant to not meet there?

IMO, they are meeting in a larger space because the number of people in the audience has increased dramatically this year. I suspect they don't want to be accused of denying public access,

Did we know about Resolution 640?

 

[StaceyH_SD]

Resolution 640 is a new one but predictable given who’s on the board. Really showing Disney who’s boss now!

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Not really surprising though. I doubt Disney was going to have a trail of texts/emails to the old RCID board talking about how they were going to enact their evil master plan.

…well…I wouldn’t put it past chapek

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Did we know about Resolution 640?

That was the one right before order 66, right?

This is outrageous

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

This is outrageous

You had to see that one coming?

You had to see that one coming?

It’s just so far out of their scope of responsibilities and a gross over reach. Not that it would ever really be an issue again, I think we’re past it now, but then leads to the next question; why? Other than to make themselves feel good about making up rules?

This is all the political Wild West for a cash grab.

Nothing about anything going on has anything to do with “the law” or “public safety”. Therefore “overreach” doesn’t apply.

This has gone totally off the rails because it was designed to. For attention, money and power.

Carry On

Is this seriously what they're worried about? So much for small/ limited government

The pentagon should have tipped you off long ago that it was crap.
Another nice little detail: taxes are up 11% for 2022 on average…
Why? The 2017 “tax cuts”

Don’t you love that kinda “limited”

…ok…I’ll stop. Crew race on deck

What about a particularly bad flu outbreak. In theory couldn't they say if private company X in DS wants a mask requirement for their store during such an outbreak would be a violation. Again; So much for small/limited government
