what SHOULD we take in at the pool?

Is the fair market value of the pool team practices $3000 a month? (number of lanes per day times number of days, etc) A couple years ago they were paying 1300 a month to practice in 4 lanes at the junior college. Are they using 8 lanes now? Thats $36,000 a year. What should the pool take in for a meet as pool rental?(16 hours times 165/hr=2460). How many meets do we have at the pool every year? Six? Eight? Lets say seven, times 2460 would be about 17k. Add the 36k and we get 53k, right, what we SHOULD get from MDAC? How much SHOULD we take in from Columbus? Reagan? the middle school? Krop? How much do we really take for swim lessons? How much additional expenses do the meets cost us (overtime, we paid $150 for an extra lifeguard at the last meet)? That is figured into the 300k+ overall loss, right? What if we marketed our pool to other swim clubs? We need to determine what a fair market value would and SHOULD be for using our pool, and then weigh THAT against 1) what we are receiving NOW; and 2) and how that number stacks up against our costs- would those numbers, IF we actually charged and collected them, make the losses acceptable? or not? IF the majority of kids were from here, and/or it was a nonprofit, it might be a different situation. But it ISNT. What could we save if we closed it from Dec thru May? How much pool heating goes in in Sept, Oct, March and April? What were the heating bills during those months last year?

the nose knows- something smells

While it may be true that MS didnt host the event, supposedly we DID rent it to Miami Dade Aquatic Club, who in turn, turned around and rented it to the Goulds swim team. How much revenues did we receive from our rental to MDAC? How much pool rental revenues do we recieve form renting the pool to MDAC for swim practices? Very simple questions, why arent there simple answers coming forth? IF we arent receiving ANYTHING, why not? Why cant, or wont, the Asst City Manager provide some verifiable numbers regarding the aforementioned topics, AND how many Springs kids are on the MDAC swim team, now and for the past three years? more simple questions - no answers. Perhaps a FOI request will help motivate him to reply. What could he be hiding? Altered numbers? Pocketed cash? Kickbacks? All of the above? Something smells here. The nose knows.

request for information

A FOI was made last week to document and verify all the pool rental revenues for the past three years for meets, etc. A competent Rec director should have those figures close at hand, no? or at least be able to track them down, right? We shall see.
