similarities exist

There ARE some parallels between the golf course and the pool. BOTH are losing a LOT of money each year, and perhaps there are management concerns there too, altho the two running it seem to be doing a pretty good job so far. Golf, like swimming, is a great sport and good exercise. The golf course is paid for by ALL the citizens, yet benefits just a few, like the pool. The Country Club is paid for by ALL the residents, yet benefits only Mr Santana, a private, for-profit entity. We pay the CC rent, maintenance, taxes, AND electricity for him, yet another private enterprise that limits the residents use severely and benefits directly from our tax dollars. So there ARE similarities. The driving range cash skimming needs, and deserves, a closer look, along with the employees that perpetrated that scam. Lots of cash is rumored to have disappeared THERE too, and the posted numbers seem to bear that out. We are bleeding cash and revenues from number of different places, it seems, for the benefit of several different private entities, and it needs to stop. If the Mayor and Council were fulfilling their oversight responsibilities the residents wouldnt have to monitor it for themselves.
