HUB status in Moultonborough

Shipfitter, you are spot on! The building and complex are just the beginning, and the costs to run it will be astronomical! Not to shift gears, but right now people are dealing with inflation. The HUB = Insanity!

Looking at the Claremont Savings Bank Community Center website ....... http://www.claremontnh.com/claremont...mmunity-center ...... which has a high quality, 25-yard indoor, 82-degree warm, swimming pool ..... opened in 2013;

a 1-year non-resident family membership costs $475.00,

a 1-year resident family membership costs $350.00,

a non-resident day pass costs $7-adult, $5-youth, $5-senior,

a resident day pass costs $5-adult, $3-youth, $3-senior,

all to help pay the long list of operating costs which includes items like electricity, insurance, heat, and new pickleballs.

Big difference between wants and needs

An interesting number is that the Claremont Community Center, with one pool, has 2023 budgeted costs of some $1.4M I would hope that there was a detailed review and discussion with Claremont as to why their costs are 4+ times as much as the estimate to run the HUB. A reconciliation must be made, especially with uninterested M'boro third parties preparing an accounting. Should not be by people in M'boro that are invested in seeing the HUB pass. The Claremont model is what I have been saying for a while...membership and usage charges must offset the annual operating costs. Not sure how much of Claremont's costs are offset with these fees. Time to really hone in on the numbers.

I have also felt the operating cost are understated. Keeping a facility open and staffed 7 days a week and I am sure 15 hours or more per day is more than 400k
