According to the mayor of the 5th arrondissement, staff were informed in February 2020 that they would be "either redeployed or laid off"; her motion called for the activity and any staff who wished it to be brought back under direct public management, and failing that (a "fallback amendment"), for the next call for tenders to require the future delegate to take back "the former employees laid off as of 30 June 2020 who wish it, with their former employment contract."FEBRUARY 2019The operating budget rises from €3.2 to €5.6 million during the sessionAfter the 21 December closure, decided according to deputy mayor Jean-François MARTINS "as a precaution for safety reasons," he announced during the session an operating budget "raised from €3.2 million to €5.6 million including tax" and stated that the other sports facilities' operation would be maintained during the works.DECEMBER 2002What the City gets out of the pool's subsoilThe Council authorized the sale to the Association Diocésaine de Paris of a 249 m² subsurface volume beneath the pool's plot, for €68,750, plus €40,000 for a right of passage and €72,000 for the installation of micropiles; the volume is carved out of the operator's concession.APRIL 1997The management model in debate: delegation or direct managementThe Council authorized the Mayor of Paris to sign a public service delegation agreement for management of the pool: Alain MORELL saw it as "the intensified privatization of sporting activities" and asked for the amount of royalties paid over the previous five years, which rapporteur Dominique CANE did not provide in his reply; he stated that 27 of the 33 public pools in Paris were run under direct public management and that squash and fitness accounted for "more than half of the revenue." The plan was adopted by majority vote, with the Communist group and the Mouvement des citoyens group voting against.
