pool negotiations

Lets see, it costs $8000 a month to heat the pool during the Winter, just for the gas, and not counting any OTHER expenses. So if we sign a contract with Doral for 15k it will cover ALMOST two months of the 8-9 month off season. We, the residents, pay the additional 6-7 months at a cost to us of $50,000, minimum. AND Doral residents get full use of our facilities at the same prices that taxpaying residents pay, but without the bothersome burden of ACTUALLY paying TAXES! AND it would GUARANTEE losses of at least $200,000 per year for this year and next because we would be required to keep the pool open year-round. Is that about right? Does ANYTHING about this deal make sense for us, as taxpaying residents? We should make them a counter offer - you pay us 150k a year and we will allow your residents and swim team to use it year-round. We might even sign a contract to that effect.
