While we appreciate the 15k gesture on the part of the City of Doral (not MDAC), when you consider that 95% of that team comes from Doral, shouldnt that be expected? The City of MS is losing 200k in the off-season to keep the pool open so that their private team can practice here and have their meets. 15k does NOT go a long way to remediate our 200k in losses. We would save that 200k by just shutting it down in the off-season. That is the prudent and simple solution. Why would 13,000+ residents be expected to indulge a handful of Springs kids and take those BIG losses when it benefits a private team of mostly somebody else's kids? If they were to split the losses, maybe it would make better sense, but, as it is, it makes NO sense. If they want the convenience of practicing here, they should be willing to pay reasonable and standard expenses. Then we could look at it from a cost/benefit basis. To do anything less would be fiscally irresponsible to the large majority of taxpaying Miami Springs residents.
