[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the insurance costs people [/quote] That wasn't identified by the county as a problem. The biggest issue seems to be rebuilding after COVID. My understanding is that a lot of coaches left when the gym was closed and they weren't getting paid, plus a number of competitive gymnasts dropped and didn't come back (it's hard to get your skills and conditioning back). So it's been a multi-year rebuilding process. The county also hasn't been fully utilizing the facility because of a shortage of staff, making it hard to fully recover fees that pay management. But there is absolutely demand for the program (with long waitlists) and no other local alternatives. The county also hasn't explored any alternatives like a fee increase or changes in how the program is staffed. [/quote]
