ZERO credibility

A personal review of the past three years of daily logs by the resident only shows FIVE months of $200 pool rentals paid, out of 36! Gym says that MDAC has started paying $500 a month since October, but there is NO record of any of those payments being made in ANY of the daily logs reviewed. Gym also said there was an Optimist connection and THAT turned out to be a total FABRICATION, so taking Gym's word on ANYTHING is a highly questionable situation, at best! His credibility is ZERO since the Optimist falsehood! Only a cancelled check can substantiate any of those rental claims, and/or a bank statement or deposit slip. And THOSE are NOT made available- wonder why not?

pool audit needed

While there was probably 25-30 people in the Council chamber less than a dozen spoke. It is not at ALL clear that ALL of them were supporting the swim team, as I know ten of them who were there, and they were present to see what was going to happen. The problem is not with the kids, obviously, as they are just the swimmers. The problem may not even be with the coaches, if they are not the owners of the swim team in question. SOMEBODY on the MDAC swim team has a roster of participating members for the past 3 years! Somebody also, probably the owners again, has a verifiable and documented list of pool payments made over the past three years. Those are the simple things requested to clear up this whole mess. The City Manager said he was going to request that information from MDAC. Did he do it? The longer MDAC refuses, the more the residents get suspicious that the rosters will show very few Springs kids and the pool payments will be few. If somebody doubts the number of pool rental payments, let them make their own review. A FOI is required to do that. They can compare their findings to the findings of the resident who has already done that review. Did the coach actually say that all the pool payments have been made? If so, then lets see the proof of that statement so we can verify it and move on. Again, TWO checks were found in the residents review: One was for $600 for Oct, Nov, Dec 2006. The other was for Feb 07 and for $200. The copies of those checks only showed the front and there was NO indication that they had been paid. Perhaps they were, but other verification is needed in the form of bank statements, bank deposit slips, etc.

resume revisited

Resume says Hialeah Park Director 1972-78.Does anybody know WHICH park? Managed a major facility within a city wide structure of twelve. Oversaw day-to-day management, programming, and staffing. Also says he developed first elementary level sports league for football, basketball, track, and soccer. In 1979 the claim is he was Assistant Director of Recreation for Miami Beach who assisted the Director with all athletic-related aspects of recreation, specifically youth and young adult groups, helping establish year-round athletic leagues for a variety of sports. Participation in recreational programs were increased by 50%? In 1980 he was a Special Consultant to the City of Ft. Lauderdale who wrote department duties and responsibilitites, in addition to formulating and requesting written Federal grants? Upon further review, the jury is still out.
