pool ponderings

A current schedule of charges for use of recreation facilities and related services shall be approved from time to time by resolution of the City Council after submission for approval by the administration. (Ord. 655-81, p ed 9-14-81) How much did the City Council authorize the City Manager to charge as rental for our pool for meets? for swim practices? Are those revenues reflected ANYWHERE? If not, why not? The website projected figures for the 2007-08 Waterpolo/Aquatics is $2150 for this whole year. The standard charges for Dade Co. pool rentals are $165 an hour. Sixteen hours times $165 = $2640, for ONE MEET! And we have supposedly rented our pool for NUMEROUS meets this year! Where are THOSE revenues reflected? the GMAC meet? The pool revenues for 2006-07 were $4200, $1250 for the FY 2005-06,and $1872 for the FY 2004-05, supposedly. How many meets did we have at our pool those years? On another page we get DIFFERENT numbers: $100 for 2005-06; $4400 for 2004-05. For FY 2003-04, FIVE YEARS AGO, there is ZERO revenues listed. We had NO meets that year? No water polo? No scuba? No pool birthday parties? How so? No swim practices? No GMAC? These numbers are very questionable, at best, and brings into question the veracity of all the other numbers presented. For this reason alone an outside independent audit is needed NOW.
