Swimming pool fees, thoughts and suggestions:
It is sad that there had to be an increase in the pool fees, and
I don’t doubt that it was a hard decision to make;
unfortunately, now many of our kids can't get to the pool in the
summer. |
|
Responds to concerns on swimming pool fees:
Regarding Larry Bauer's letter concerning the
city pool fees: I can appreciate that a price
increase from free to $10 for a city resident over a four year
period may seem like a lot, however it was certainly not without
notice, by any means. |
|
And another response about swimming pool fees:
It saddens me to see that, once again, the city faces criticism
for anything related to our swimming pool. |
|
Sequels store closing:
My wife Donna announced on June 16 on the

the store by July 31. I, Marty, would like to
thank all the 800+ clients and thousands of
customers that she's had over the last 5 1/2
years. |
|
Increase in swimming pool fees is too much:
Having used the local municipal pool for the past 4 years, I
would like to think that we are fortunate to have this amenity
available to us. |
