The five-member board of supervisors would be appointed by DeSantis and confirmed by the Florida Senate for four-year terms, with the caveat that two members appointed initially will serve two-year terms. Also, members may serve only three terms and can be from a broad range of specialty fields.Maintaining the status of Reedy Creek's issued bonds — nearly $1 billion in amount — and preserving Reedy Creek's ability to generate revenue and pay the debt.
Existing board members will serve in their roles only until a replacement is appointed. Meanwhile, the existing members, officers and employees"may not sell, dispose of, encumber, transfer, or expend the assets of the district" other than ordinary business, added the bill.
