questions persist

The stated pool rentals by the Council is $60 per hour. For three hours a day that would add up to $180 per day; times six days = $1080 a week. Times 52 weeks =$ 56,160 per year. Is it possible that MDAC uses all 7 of the lanes on the deep end, PLUS some of the shallow end lanes? For $200 a month? If MDAC was paying $1300 a month to rent MDC, that amounts to $ 15,600 a year. If they were paying $1500 a month it amounts to $18,000 a year. They move from paying a MINIMUM of $15,600 a year to the Springs, where they are billed $2400 for MORE TIME AND MORE LANES! The $13,200 a year went straight out of the taxpayers pockets and INTO the MDAC owners pockets! The BS excuse about providing an incentive to get more Springs kids is bogus, because there were NO breaks given to the swimmers when they moved, only the owners. Why does a 100-strong Doral swim team with five stated places to practice NEED a HUGE discount? What are the specifics of that secret handshake deal Gym made with them? Does ANYBODY know? Does the Mayor or Council know? If not, why not? how is a secret handshake deal in ANY way enforcable if we dont even know what the terms of that agreement are? How many lanes? for how many hours? payments to be made when? by what method, and to who? How can the City Attorney APPROVE of this arrangement? Why hasnt he made ANY statement regarding the legality and means of enforcing such agreements, now that he KNOWS these deals exist?

YES, or NO

IF MDAC didnt lie at the last Council meeting then perhaps they just didnt tell all the truth either. Either they were wrong or the website is wrong. Which is it? Perhaps the website is just out of date. If thats the case it should be updated. If they truly have paid the tiny $200 a month pool rent every month then it should be NO problem to prove it wasnt a fabrication. I WAS there, and spoke. To say somebody has paid all the rent asked of them is NOT saying they have paid all the rents they are obligated to pay. If they pay SOME months, as it appears, then they admit that rents are due on a monthly basis. Is MDAC saying they thought that pool rents were due some months but not all of them? or even MOST of them? Without splitting hairs or trying to avoid the question, the question is an easy one - Did MDAC pay $200 a month for every month they have been practicing at the Springs pool? If so, are they currently up to date now? Are there cancelled checks and/or bank statements to confirm those possible payments? Those are YES and NO questions. YES, or NO?
