[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article above would seem to support the idea the team has covered their operating costs in the past but have never covered the costs of operating the facility, which are significant.

“County staff told the Board that team fees aren’t sufficient to pay for county costs after all facility costs are factored in.”

This is all a larger issue and the Board should ask some committee to go off and study it and come back with recommendations and the committee should just be stacked with gymnastics and swim people.

Honest question does any community center programming cover the cost of the center? I would probably guess not. But interesting question. [/quote]

No I don't think so and I don't think that's the model either.  This is a unique situation though where one program has taken over the majority (but not all) of a large rec center.

Please do not mention the pools again.  Swimming/water-based activities and gymnastics are not the same thing and it's weird how people keep trying to compare them.[/quote]

I get it but I think they are comparable in the fact that the public has complained of the limited ability to use the pool due to the competitive team.

Also the damn water slide is never available  😒[/quote]
