Scott Turlington — Scott Turlington, president and CEO of Tamarack Resort, explains that Tamarack is outside any city comprehensive plan and cannot obtain city consent, making it a strong candidate for a county-formed CID. He says the district would let Tamarack fund infrastructure up front, with buyers ultimately paying for it rather than spreading costs through an LID. Turlington notes the county would act as the board, CID funds could be used for off-site improvements such as road work, and the district is typically formed before anyone lives there so the developer initially carries the cost. He adds that if residents are present, certain changes require two-thirds consent, bonds are issued against lots or homes, and obligations transfer to owners after sale, with development sequencing and entitlements determining how phases and bond terms are structured.
