pool audit needed

While there was probably 25-30 people in the Council chamber less than a dozen spoke. It is not at ALL clear that ALL of them were supporting the swim team, as I know ten of them who were there, and they were present to see what was going to happen. The problem is not with the kids, obviously, as they are just the swimmers. The problem may not even be with the coaches, if they are not the owners of the swim team in question. SOMEBODY on the MDAC swim team has a roster of participating members for the past 3 years! Somebody also, probably the owners again, has a verifiable and documented list of pool payments made over the past three years. Those are the simple things requested to clear up this whole mess. The City Manager said he was going to request that information from MDAC. Did he do it? The longer MDAC refuses, the more the residents get suspicious that the rosters will show very few Springs kids and the pool payments will be few. If somebody doubts the number of pool rental payments, let them make their own review. A FOI is required to do that. They can compare their findings to the findings of the resident who has already done that review. Did the coach actually say that all the pool payments have been made? If so, then lets see the proof of that statement so we can verify it and move on. Again, TWO checks were found in the residents review: One was for $600 for Oct, Nov, Dec 2006. The other was for Feb 07 and for $200. The copies of those checks only showed the front and there was NO indication that they had been paid. Perhaps they were, but other verification is needed in the form of bank statements, bank deposit slips, etc.
