4 out of 36 payments made?

A resident who has reviwed the daily logs from 2006 thru most of 2008 has only been able to find payments for 4 months. Thirty six months, even at $200 a month, is $7200. Minus $800 in possible payments, is stil $6400 due the City. The City MUST have records IF those payments were really made, right? Only four months have been documented of those past 36 months- where is the rest? Billing for something is ONE thing, actually receiving payments is another. Receipts, deposit slips, and/or bank statements should confirm or deny such payments have been made. Several FOI requests have been made in the past month or so, requesting this information, so maybe we will just have to wait for them to figure it out. One on 11/10/08 requested to see the "rental revenues we have received from the pool for meets over the past three years- who rented them, for how much, etc." The next day another FOI requested to see " the record of the pool admissions and the resultant revenues received for the past five years." No word on either request so far, from the City. A resident has done some checking on his own back thru 2006, which would probably amount to a partial request accomodation. The records are available for review, that is true. It will be interesting to see if the City's numbers match up with the resident's numbers. Billing residents the full price while giving for-profit teams with 90% nonresidents a 90% discount is preposterous! Its the RESIDENTS who should get a discount, if anybody!!! WE are paying the bills!!!
