HI, Council As the powerless Belle Haven Pool hybrid model community task force has made obvious, the current governance structure for the pool is useless because the pool operator has total control over all operations and is doing a miserable job. Assuming city council has any interest in maki...
Hello, The city council needs to be made aware that the task force was not helpful to the residents of Belle Haven. We made simple requests for the meetings to have an actual effect on how the city would manage its pool at the BHCC campus. The task force meetings would be a great idea if we...
