she adds however leisureplan officials say 375 people sur veyed for a town whitchurchstouffvilles size is a 90 per cent accuracy point leisureplan international was hired by the town last year to survey and perform extensive studies as a guideline on whether the town should undertake build ing an indoor pool councillor marshall went on the say she did not like the groups artistic drawings submitted last year these drawings look like were running a private expensive club with palm trees umbrellas and lounge chairs i thought it should be a competitive pool for competitive swimming im just disappointed about the whole thing she says the pool if approved by council of the day would cost taxpayers about 45 million in 1994 and is fore casted to run at an annual operating loss of about 200000 at last weeks council meeting councillor marshall said she was shocked to leam the town wants to hire the consultant again for the towns updated recreation masterplan an update from the 1982
