[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Save rec but make competition teams pay full market rate.[/quote] I don't think you understand how other gymnastics gyms operate. The $$$ to run the competitive teams is subsidized by the rec programs. The number of hours that team kids are in gym is a lot. [/quote] And the needs of a private organization and a publicly run organization are different. Rec serves the most people (including people with disabilities) and has the best chance of providing cost recovery to the county so it maintains its sustainability long term. Competitive is such a niche and expensive product for so few individuals. It’s really hard to see the public good in keeping it, especially when we’re in a budget year where something else is going to have to give. Those of you who are angling to keep it - what would you cut? Are you willing to accept 50% or more higher fees? [/quote]
