Is the TCAL, 150 staff full time or does the number drop in the winter? Are they paid by the council or are they paid from $732,000 plus the takings from the pools, are they part of the 500+ staff working for the council, could he please explain why in his opinion we are lucky that TCAL are running the pools, or is he saying that the present council is incompetent of running any thing efficiently. I have been a ratepayer for 25 years, but I cannot afford to be a Trustpower customer , so I can not get 20% discount if I use Baywave, why is that?
I have no problem with $40 a year of my rates going to the pools , but do we need 150 staff to run 4 pools?
