pool info needed

Of course its a legitimate question to question ANYBODYs figures, and vice versa. It IS hoped, however, when challenged, one has facts and figures to back up and verify ones claim. Making a grandstand play for the cameras in vain hopes of intimidating residents takes the risk of exposing oneself as a would-be bully when he has NO FACTS or figures to back up and confirm his statements. None were offered then and NONE have been offered since then. Perhaps the City Manager and his assistant are imaginatively preparing those numbers even as we speak! How long do you think it would take any competent Rec Director to put his hands on those figures? Where are the daily logs? Who handles the money? Where are the daily and monthly revenues recorded? Who makes the deposits? Where are the deposit slips kept? How does anybody know how many Springs residents and/or nonresidents actually use the pool every day? How is Springs residency verified? These too, are legitimate questions for the Rec Director. When can we look forward to these answers? Is another Freedom of Information request necessary to obtain this information? The Council instructed the residents to seek information from the City Manager and his assistant before coming to the Council but Mr Gorland has refused to answer pertinent questions when requested. Perhaps the City Manager knows the answers to these questions. We shall see.
