Contract examined after lost revenue
Rotterdam Boys
& Girls Club find pool closure ended tie with town

By John Purcell As of Friday, December 21, 2012 -11:46 a.m.

#ROTTERDAM — The closure of the Rotterdam Boys & Girls Club’s pool has made unexpected waves for the organization.

#The Rotterdam Boys & Girls Club receives $18,500 annually from the Town of Rotterdam to help cover services provided to the community at a reduced cost, but its contract was limited to pool related services and recreational activities provided to seniors. Under its contract, once the pool closed in April, so did its revenue stream from the town.

#Now, the club and the town are trying to keep that money from going down the drain. Shane Bargy, executive director at Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady, explained the services it offers to the community at the Rotterdam Town Board’s Wednesday, Dec. 12, meeting in an effort to broaden the scope of its contract.

#“The Rotterdam Boys and Girls Club is the community center in the Town of Rotterdam,” Bargy said. “That facility provides an enormous amount of benefit to the entire Rotterdam community.”

#Supervisor Harry Buffardi said he recommended Bargy give a presentation to board members after Bargy approached him about the issue. The board is likely to vote on a revised contact at its organizational meeting New Year’s Day..................................>>>>........................>>>>...................http://www.schenectadyspotlight.com/news/2012/dec/21/contract-examined-after-lost-revenue/
