information gathering continues

While you may very well be right about the pool beind a dead issue until the elections, it shouldnt stop the information gathering process. When it IS time to address these issues, ALL the facts will be in place. For instance, at the Milander pool there is NO turnstile or camera but you do have to approach the front desk to get into either locker room. There is a $5 registration fee to have your contact information put into their computer. Once you are in their computer, whenever you visit you just give them your contact info- name, address, phone number, etc., and its confirmed by their computer, or not. They charge several different rates for seniors, residents, nonresidents, kids, etc. Residents pay their taxes to the City of Hialeah of course and are given a lesser admission rate than that of nonresidents. This sounds like a process that could work at OUR pool. There are three pools in Hialeah - Bucky Dent, Milander, and a McDonald pool. Only the Milander pool is heated tho, and they have several more kiddy slides, etc. than we do.

We are BADLY in need of a Spring Cleaning and whoever can put those principles into effect gets my vote! A resident went to Milander pool in Hialeah today. The pool is heated and a short-course like ours. It is closed to the public from Nov thru March, during which time only the Hialeah Storm, their swim team, practices there. The cost to practice there is $45 per swimmer per month, and they have a LOT of swimmers! If we charged a swim team with an average of 50 swimmers daily or monthly that fee we would take in $2250 per MONTH in revenues! Or $27,000 a year! Lets see.. $2400 a year, or $27,000 a year.. which is better for the taxpayers? A team with 100-strong swimmers would bring in $54,000 a year! Which is the better deal for the OWNERS? WHO is the main beneficiary of the pool practices NOW in place at OUR pool? three guesses
