pool ponderings 4

Continuing in a legal vein, is there not something in the City charter about NOT allowing the subsidizing of private enterprises? Wonder what his legal opinion would be regarding the ridiculously low pool rental payments on the pool? If PENNIES on the dollar RENT isn’t a subsidy to a for-profit business, at the taxpayer’s expense, what is? When did the City Attorney know there were NO contracts and NO use agreements? Has he ever offered a legal opinion regarding the validity and enforceability of these handshake deals? If so, what WAS that legal opinion? On what legal basis was it formed? When did that happen? By doing nothing, or NOT suggesting any changes, the City Attorney seems to be in tacit legal approval of the handshake process already in place.
