Third, the only downside to closing the pool during the school year is that we would probably lose some honest, very capable, and concerned lifeguards. Lastly, there might be a case made for leaving the pool open IF the swim team was nonprofit AND there were significantly more Springs kids involved, but that isnt the case in either situation; and IF there were NO facilities close to us for them to use, but there are. There could probably even be a case made to rent the pool to the private team, and teams, at the standard and going rates for practices and meets, to defray our HUGE losses. There can be NO justification for allowing a private team with 6 Springs kids to make 75k while 13,000 residents pay all the expenses and take a 300k loss per year. IF there are hundreds of residents using the pool during the school year there would be documentation and revenues that would reflect that, right? Where is that documentation and those revenues? A resident is going to City Hall this week and review the paperwork regarding admission revenues and special events such as meets and practices for the past three years, and will report the findings of that FOI here. Insanity would be allowing clueless, if not corrupt, City officials to repeatedly rob, rape, and plunder our residents tax monies and expect it to magically change without the residents REQUIRING changes be made! Stop the City Hall insanity!!!
