Mr Gorland was acting pretty sure of himself that the residents numbers werent accurate when he confronted a resident in Open Forum, only to be found out later to have NO real numbers to back up his claim. He loses whatever credibility he may have when he does that, but it DID look very authoritative on the video. It is what it is - a grandstand play to the cameras to try to dissuade and discourage residents from asking tough questions of City officials. To the contrary, he embarrassed himself when it was found later that he had NO real basis on which to make that claim, just a vague guess about some possible percentages. When are we going to get a current list of the MDAC swim team and how many Springs kids there are now? If, what Mr Gorland says is true (which IS possible), that it varies from month to month, then a list of verifiable and confirmed kids for the last YEAR or two might give a better idea of the average participation, and this part of this issue can be put to rest. That should be NO problem for the Rec Director, right? When can we expect that information to be released? Soon? EVER?
