Council comments

Gorland did say that the Sunday mens soccer league is hard on the field, and it was tabled until next week for further consideration. The good news is that they may actually be charging for use of City facilities. The bad news is, as noted previously, that the pool fees charged for the private swim team are ridiculously low and dont reflect the going rate for such a facility. Gym did note that he DOES have the leeway to charge whatever he wants for the pool facilties "to encourage use" of such facilities, and the Council agreed without a discussion or debate. Gymbos artificially low rates benefit only the private teams owners at the expense of the taxpayers. The owners are "encouraged" to use our pool because he charges less than HALF the going rate for pool practices. The 60% discount is a good deal for the owners, but a BAD deal for the taxpayers.
