pool audit needed

One of the Objectives listed for the Aquatics Division is to increase marketing efforts to M-D County swim teams for additional swim meets. In that area it appears they have been VERY successful, as there have been MULTIPLE swim meets this year. They should have NO problem marketing our pool for swim meets because swim meets at OUR pool are FREE, apparently. Revenues are listed as down 48.8% for the swim team and water polo teams to $2150 for this year. At the standard rate of $165 an hour ONE weekend meet would bring in THAT amount! Fiscal Year 2006-07 indicates a total loss of $303,214 and a loss of ONLY $260,985 is projected for this year. Swimming pool admissions are projected at 47k this year and its reasonable to assume that over 90% of that income is realized during the Summer. Does anybody know how much we get from resident admissions from Sept-June? WHY are we NOT charging the standard fees charged at any other pool in town OR at least OUR COSTS for these meets? Why are the residents paying for FREE swim meets? year-round practice for 6 Springs kids? Why are there NO CONTRACTS? What do the scuba guys pay? Why cant we get any answers? Do we at LEAST have a contract with Dade Co schools to host the MSSH swim team? the MS Aquatic Club? How active is the Senior Water Aerobics Program, and what revenue is realized there? So many questions, so few answers....
