Reflection Bay — Shangri‑La!!! CV Resident
I read with much interest the Waldman ad and the letter to the editor “Here We Go Again.”
The Waldmans paint a pretty picture of their intended multi-unit development. They stress
their plans for elaborate landscaping, they mention that we in Century Village will be more
secure, since our “common boundary will no longer be vulnerable.” This, of course, does not
include security between their planned development and our Village. Their presumption that

These are just some basic initial questions which require answers. unlicensed workers may cause.
As to the letter to the editor in the September issue, I am somewhat perplexed: I wonder whether
the first half of that letter pertains to our Village or to the health care town hall meetings with orga-
nized (sometimes “armed”) opposition.
Let me remind the writer that the golf course controversy is indeed a “here we go again”
situation.
We went through this about three years ago. The renovated change in the zoning for that area
into a multi-unit development was then thoroughly discussed and roundly rejected by the Vil-
lage. Nothing has changed since. That the golf course lost money for years is not our concern.
In today’s economy, with bankruptcy and foreclosures a daily occurrence, this is just one of the
businesses which shut down.
The assumption that because Jeff Koons is term-limited, there is a better chance that the
zoning will be changed is completely unfounded. The County Commission consists of seven
members. We need four to defeat any proposal for a zoning change and I believe we have those.
I wish to see more involvement of UCO in this matter. Apparently, the letter, sent to the
Waldmans, by UCO, declaring that we are against the conversion of the golf course into a 600
unit development, is not referred to, either in the Waldman ad or in the letter to the editor.
In the final analysis, what should be decided is what is best for the Village, not the county’s
tax base, nor the Waldmans’ financial affairs. o

needed services. We also used
one-time funding resources to
pay for some ongoing costs.
I’m pleased that our staff
came up with a couple of
never-before-used strategies
to help ease the pinch. Ap-
proximately 70 long-time
employees accepted an early
retirement offer, and boaters
will be helping to pay for boat
ramp construction and mainte-
nance via a new trailer parking
fee. I think $35 per year is
reasonable for the privilege
of using our excellent county
facilities, and it’s less than
half the original recommended
amount.
In July, the Board of County
Commissioners tentatively
agreed with our county admin-
istrator’s recommendation to
raise the property tax rate from
3.7811 to 4.3440 mills. Notice
I said “tentatively.” The final
tax rate can be lower, but not
higher, than 4.3440 mills, and
I expect a substantial amount
of discussion before we settle
on a final figure.
Keep in mind an increase in
the millage rate does not mean
a budget increase, nor does it
necessarily mean your tax bill
will be higher. That depends
on several factors, including
whether property values go
up. The millage rate we tenta-
tively approved is the rollback
rate, the break-even point to
collect the same amount of
property tax revenue next year
as this year.
As the FY-2010 budget cy-
cle heads into its final stages,
there are many tough choices
still to make. That’s why it is
so important for you to attend
one or both of our upcom-
ing budget public hearings:
