PID boards object to higher City administration fees in their 2023/24 budgets
In the 2023/24 budget cycle several advisory boards questioned increases in the City's administration fee. The Quail Creek board on May 25 at first refused to approve the budget as presented and was told the only way to avoid the fee would be to dissolve the PID and turn it over to the HOA; it then approved an amended budget. On June 26 the Vineyards board asked about a "1000% increase" and approved its budget subject to a review with the City Manager's office, raising its assessment to $75 a year; the Greenways board heard Assistant City Manager Laura Storrs say the City had added a position that worked only on PIDs and that all PIDs' admin costs had gone up. The Greenways board had also found a budget error showing $1 million of already-spent bond money as surplus, and raised its assessments 9%.[1][2][3][4]

laura-storrs: At the Greenways meeting the same day Laura Storrs said all PIDs were getting an increased cost "because they added a position that was only for working on the PIDs," after PIDs asked for better City service, and that the City might look at other ways of calculating the fee. The board approved its amended budget unanimously and decided not to seek a meeting with the mayor on the fees that year. [4]
