Where do things stand on the Devilrays use of city swimming pools?
Kimberly Calderbank: President of the swimming club ensured that they had a reserve fund to cover the costs of situations like this.
The lawyer representing the swimming Club has written the City Solicitor advising him that he will seek an injunction to prevent the city from doing anything until the matter has gone through a judicial review and invited the City Solicitor to meet with him and see if the problem cannot be resolved before any legal steps are taken.
That should bring that matter to a close, assuming this is just a clerical error or, more disturbingly, an employee failing to seek direction from a superior.
Expect the city to realize the error and reverse the decision made at the staff level.
Lots of egg on a lot of faces on this one.
There is slime all over this unusual decision. Burlington is better than this type of thing.
