No word yet on the FOI request regarding the Optimist connection to the pool. It was supposedly written by Mr. Lob and explains in detail what the connection is, has been in the past, and how it works. It is assumed that verified bank statements and deposit slips are included as documentation of that relationship. How long does it usually take to have a FOI request acted on? What time frame would be considered TIMELY. Dr. Mel Johnson

FOI pool response

Apparently Jim Llewelyn is running against Bob Best this time. Pool rental information was provided today from 12/10/08 request, but hasn't been reviewed thoroughly as yet. At first glance it does appear that invoice numbers are provided and dates of payments. MDAC entries go back to 11-6-06. Where these numbers have been for the past 8 weeks or more is not clear at all. It seems very possible that they were derived from the entities themselves. There are no meet revenues of $750 per day noted, at first glance. Could it be that meet pool rentals are classified as something else, and not under Aquatics? MDAC has hosted NO meets back to 2006? Co-hosted, like the one with the Sun Devils? The devil is probably still in the details.
