skimming?

Note at the bottom of the daily log dated 6-20-08: Water polo does not pay. What should we do? Note 5-23-08 at the bottom: Water polo is not-for-profit group. Apparently this information is accurate. Does this mean that all the other groups pay a cash admission? Like the Doral coach said he paid $2 a swimmer per day? That would amount to a nice chunk of cash every day that is NOT accounted for in the logs. Is it possible that is a part fo the handshake deal between the City Manager and MDAC? Has the handshake agreement EVER been revealed, as to what EXACTLY it entails? Were there any witnesses to the handshake deal? Is it possible that MDAC pays $2 each swimmer every day in cash, or weekly, and THATS why they dont think they owe anymore rent? Could THAT be why Gym gave them such a HUGE discount? That would be skimming, right? That would be a felony, right? Skimming IS grand theft, right?

pool musings

Resident went to fgcswim website. Info is in different format and requires some additional software to open files, apparently. All of that info would be good to know tonight so that it would at least reflect what IS being claimed for each swim meet. The program is Team Manager. If anyone has it and can open those files and present the information here, it would be very helpful. It also says that format is compatible with Adobe pdf files. After having a pool for FORTY YEARS it is incomprehensible to NOT have accurate revenue controls in place! It is either incredible incompetency OR deliberate skimming of admission fees. Neither is acceptable, and skimming is illegal (fraud? grand theft?). How long ago did the MDAC official make a payment to the pool? Who did he pay? Cash? Check? What was it for? Practice? Meets? Does anybody know how much the check was for? Was it documented in the receipt book? Who would know? Did anybody witness the payment? The receipt book sounds interesting. While they may try to BS Mr Dotson, he has been an accountant for over thirty years, and knows when the numbers dont make sense. It seems that arrogance, secrecy, and intimidation are the hallmarks of this administration, if not corruption. This has gone on too long. Change is needed. NOW. Start with a pool audit by an outside, independent auditor. Then move on to the golf course and the construction projects.
