pool losses mount, officials unconcerned

Any further word on the new Rec Directors resume? Coaching teams and umpiring are laudable pursuits but not what we pay 100k to get done. Knowing that the City manager is a control freak with a long history that requires YES men, or women, that will just do what he tells them, like the Council, could make a resident who is concerned about what the new Rec Director actually brings to the table, wonder. One year experience as a Rec director 28 years ago doesnt exactly inspire confidence. No pool, building, or construction experience is another red flag. This is a multi-million dollar facility planned, and experience selling athletic shoes, school jackets, and backstops is not the background or exoerience needed to get this done right. The lack of appropriate experience and background WILL make the new Rec Director beholden and grateful to the City Manager, and will meet HIS requirements as a YES man who will do whatever the City Manager wants, whenever he wants it. What would the new Rec Director do about this ongoing pool disaster? Anything? Gorland was apparently NOT aware that any controls were in place, or thats what he told Dotson. There WERE, and are, some controls in place, along with some good documentation. To not even KNOW what business practices are being used at the pool shows an unbelievable lack of awareness, competency, and management skills on the part of Mr. Gorland. He is only aware that there is a POSSIBLY new system being tried out that MAY provide some of the answers to who is using our pool and how much revenues we are receiving ???? After over FORTY YEARS of having the pool we still dont have such a system in place? Please. Unbelievable! TRULY unbelievable !!! How do YOU spell incompetence? Ineptitude? Unbelievable? Highly suspicious? Ridiculous! He is either an incompetent bozo of humongous proportions, with NO clue regarding management principles, OR is covering for his boss, the City Manager. Neither is okay. Both should be fired for incompetence and ineptitude, at the very least; if not prosecuted for the misappropriation of municipal monies.
