UPDATE: As I suspected. (Doc)
I’ve heard rumors over the past week that the Parks department is trying to figure out how to support the new indoor aquatics center, one of the proposals on the table is to eliminate the free pool passes for impoverished kids. Not sure if this is true, but it would open up a big can of worms, that would be much bigger then just raising revenue for the pools.
There is to be a presentation on Tuesday at the informational meeting. The docs aren’t posted yet, but it will be interesting to see if the topic is brought up.
I have said all along, subsidizing the new indoor aquatic center is going to cost taxpayers millions, maybe the city is realizing this is going to be a costly adventure.
