questions persist

The stated pool rentals by the Council is $60 per hour. For three hours a day that would add up to $180 per day; times six days = $1080 a week. Times 52 weeks =$ 56,160 per year. Is it possible that MDAC uses all 7 of the lanes on the deep end, PLUS some of the shallow end lanes? For $200 a month? If MDAC was paying $1300 a month to rent MDC, that amounts to $ 15,600 a year. If they were paying $1500 a month it amounts to $18,000 a year. They move from paying a MINIMUM of $15,600 a year to the Springs, where they are billed $2400 for MORE TIME AND MORE LANES! The $13,200 a year went straight out of the taxpayers pockets and INTO the MDAC owners pockets! The BS excuse about providing an incentive to get more Springs kids is bogus, because there were NO breaks given to the swimmers when they moved, only the owners. Why does a 100-strong Doral swim team with five stated places to practice NEED a HUGE discount? What are the specifics of that secret handshake deal Gym made with them? Does ANYBODY know? Does the Mayor or Council know? If not, why not? how is a secret handshake deal in ANY way enforcable if we dont even know what the terms of that agreement are? How many lanes? for how many hours? payments to be made when? by what method, and to who? How can the City Attorney APPROVE of this arrangement? Why hasnt he made ANY statement regarding the legality and means of enforcing such agreements, now that he KNOWS these deals exist?
