I think perhaps the enclosed pool fiasco is partly the result of some study or survey.
You are correct. But, it was not a professional study or survey. The Board, at that time, decided to utilize a survey conducted by a couple of their own members who stood at the door and asked people coming in to the pool (and nobody else), "Will you use the pool in the winter if we cover it?" The alternative would have been to pay a qualified third party for advise. They could even have consulted already published stories on the fiscal viability of other covered community pools. They did neither. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe: How many "studies" can you recall that were contracted for by OP in the past that were essentially "shelved", resulting in little or no actions taken by the BOD?? Probably quite a few. This latest one sounds like another boondoggle to me. I seem to recall one study where "outside experts" were hired to look at drainage and water accumulations in OP. Among the things they recommended were some sort of holes or dry wells or gravel filled pits would be dug, for the purpose of absorbing excessive rainwater. Nothing was ever done, if I recall correctly. But $$$ went out the door, for naught, for the study. I think perhaps the enclosed pool fiasco is partly the result of some study or survey. And we know the financial drag that's been on the community resources. Seems it converted earlier "profits" from aquatics into big annual $$ losses for OP. I'm sensing that similar potential costs in $$ of expenses could result from this latest study. Joe you've likely got many more examples you can recall. Could you mention a few? Tom |
