The Pool - hi ho, hi ho, it's off to spend we go!
During the TMs report at tonight's Council meeting we learned that spending on the pool continues. Yippee! Nothing like spending more money on improvements to a facility that just had its RFP issued today. Well... that only took 15 months from the moment I first suggested the complicated issue of a Request for Information (cue the sinister music).
If I jotted down the numbers correctly:
$45,000 to repair the roof
$90,000 for a pool liner
$101,000 for a new wall to replace the sheetrock
$10,000 for the boiler's insurance deductible
$246,000 on the pool!
Which reminds me of the Council's theme song:
We spend spend spend spend spend spend spend in a town hall the whole day through
To spend spend spend spend spend spend spend is what we like to do
Hi ho, hi ho
It's off to spend we go!
And you'll pay your taxes and like it!
And if you even suggest asking a developer to pay a fair market value for land we wish to give away in a sweetheart deal, we'll tell the world that you are an extortionist! So there!
Now back to reality... these guys are unbelievable.

needs vs wants: Countr Club Bridge vs the Pool. We NEED to repair the bridge BUT we don't have the money. We don't need the Pool BUT we spend the money.

There should be a spending limit on the pool. Enough is enough. Yes it's important, but what's the limit? Build a new one and float the bond. It might save us money in the long run. Some TC members should practice what they preach and take their job seriously.
put the council in the pool, fill it with concrete, top with asphault, apply striping, park cars on top.
Win - Win for the town!
The solution is obvious:
1) Make sure there is a viable body of water beneath Country Club Bridge. We will soon have one when the sewage pump station fails.
2) Don't repair Country Club Bridge. Don't spend any money on the pool.
3) Soon we will all be swimming beneath the Country Club Bridge when it collapses.
C'mon people. Tough times require creative solutions.

????????????? How do we swim BENEATH a collapsed bridge?
Funny how some are critical of the R's because they want the bid process followed yet the D's can drag their feet on the pool and it's costing us taxpayers over $400,000 annually..what's worse?!
I hope all that dog hair didn't clog the filter system on the pool!!

Why not park a fire truck on the weak side of the bridge?
"Why not park a fire truck on the weak side of the bridge?"
Why would we do that?
It's still cheaper to have Tilcon drop concrete into the pool
