BURLINGTON, ON

The swimming pool allocation issue and the Audit that will take place once Council approves the motion at a meeting on the 18^th.

In the meantime, the newly minted Burlington Aquatic Devilrays(BAD)  executive had been meeting with people at City Hall as they prepare to make the case for a change to the swimming pool allocation agreement that is in place.

Seeking a decision at the judiciary level is not out of the question.

BAD Executive Vice President – Zohair Khan

We are advised that their Executive Vice President – Zohair Khan has met or talked with Emilie Cote, Director of Recreation, Community and Culture.

Many feel decisions made at that level are what got the city into the mess it is in.

Council knows that if anything is taken away from Golden Horseshoe Aquatic Club (GHAC) will result in a lawsuit.

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward has yet to learn how to admit that a mistake was made.

If this matter is to be worked out, it is going to have to be at the municipal diplomatic level.

Mayor Meed Ward has yet to say she was wrong on an issue in the 12 years I have been covering her political career.

I was in the room when she held her first meeting with supporters who were getting ready to run Meed Ward for the Ward 2 council seat.

The woman we heard that evening in 2012,  is not the woman who is currently Mayor of the City.
