education is a wonderful thing

These pool visits will be made as an educational gesture toward the City Manager, as he has said in the past he has NO IDEA how much other cities and community pools charge to use their pools! It seems that, since he had NO IDEA, an arbitrary figure of $200 a month was grabbed out of the air and applied to our pool for private and public swim team practices. It would be interesting to see exactly how he came up with THAT figure. He apparently did NO RESEARCH prior to establishing that sum, by his own admission. Why not? Why would he NOT consider getting fair market value for our pool as a part of his responsibility to the taxpayers? Giving MDAC a sweetheart deal was NOT in the best interests of the taxpayers, and ONLY benefitted the owners of MDAC! Where does his loyalties lie? WE pay his inflated salary, not MDAC!
