new interest

It would be interesting to know EXACTLY when city officials met, discussed, voted, and decided to give MDAC a pool rental of $200 a month! Is there ANY record of that happening? How would they come to that conclusion $200 a month is fair market value because they are on record as saying they have NO idea what other pools charge! Does ANYBODY believe that Gym doesnt know what other pools are charging? Thats his JOB to know those things, AND to get fair market value for our pool! Was the Council aware that this was happening? Does a swim team with 100 registered swimmers and several practice sites sound like a team that needs a handout? Is this just another sweetheart deal he has concocted, or something worse? The possibilities of kickbacks and skimming come to mind. Even that $200 a month pittance has apparently NOT been paid in YEARS! The responsibilty for this obvious mismanagement fiasco, at best, lies at the City Managers desk. At worst, the sweetheart deals, poor-to-nonexistent documentation and controls, outright fabrications, and rents NOT collected may very well be illegal. The Herald has become interested in this ongoing saga. Perhaps management will answer to them.
