Doggett and Mr. C. L. Peterson, petitioning the Council to allow the present
non-resident swim team members to maintain their pool memberships for the
immediate present.
Mayor Jones went into the background of the membership regula-
tions and then suggested that the letter be taken under advisement so that an
agreement can be reached as to the status of present non-resident tennis and
pool members, as well as, non-resident swimming team members. The Mayor
added that he thought that competitive swimming should be maintained.

Mrs. Dunn stated that "it has become evident that the investiga-
tion we have made has revealed that the Miami Shores swimming facilities are
not adequate to accommodate both competitive and recreational swimming with
the result that this has discouraged our residents from using this facility. I,
therefore, move that competitive swimming be discontinued. " Mrs. Dunn
further moved that the present status of non-resident members apply until the
end of the current fiscal year at which time an optimum membership of 350 be
established subject to the same rules as those which apply to golf membership.
After some discussion this motion was withdrawn and action on the
subject was deferred until the second meeting in November.
