pool audit needed

The Council DID reassure the handful of residents present that, as long as THEY are on the job, the pool will remain open! They do NOT care how much it costs.. US! Garcia says its a quality of life issue, and that our quality of life will fall off a cliff if we only have the pool open during the Summer! Once we start down that slippery slope towards fiscal responsibility, in no time we will somehow become a suburban ghetto, without a soul or identity! Please. It WAS nice to see all the residents out for the Council meeting AND it was also good to hear all the stories about the healing properties and beneficial effects of having a community pool and swimming. Nobody is saying that swimming is NOT great exercise OR that swimming on a team wouldnt be good thing. What we ARE saying is that we are in tough times and cant afford to be subsidizing private businesses while we, the residents, are losing 200k at the pool. Is there ANYBODY who believes we SHOULD be giving away our City resources to private businesses so THEY can profit? On what grounds would they make that claim? There is NO verifiable proof that 15-30 Springs kids are on the M-D Aquatic Club, now or in recent memory! Until there IS verifiable proof that the numbers arent closer to SIX, that number will stand. Is there ANYBODY who believes that 13000+ Springs taxpayers should pay all the 200k costs for those SIX kids to practice year-round? Why would ANYBODY believe that Springs taxpayers should pay thru the nose for kids on a team that is 95% non-residents? Was MDAC in error when they told the Doral City Council that a large majority of their kids are from Doral? and that they use our facilities for free? How could they have made a simple mistake like that? Somebody is NOT telling the truth here. Who could that be?
