from Barry College are constantly moving in and out of Miami Shores Village and
ID's should be controlled. Mr. Ackley explained the problems of issuing the
ID's and making them work. It was brought out, from the floor, that there is
a member of the swimming team that is not a resident of Miami Shores Village.

Ms. Jensen brought up the telephone cost. Mr. Ackley responded.
Mayor Lodge asked if there are any questions from the floor. One of the
questions was fees for the Tennis Courts. George said that if there are a
number of non-residents coming in to play, then there should be a charge for
guests with a resident. The Board thought it was fair. Mr. Ackley told of
other problems there were on the tennis courts, but now taken care of.
Mayor Lodge said he does not think there should be additional costs for

recreation even though it is a little harder to get on the courts now that
the Village is growing. Mr. Ackley stated that if there were a small
charge it would keep the courts a little clearer.

asked Barbara, Pool Supervisor, to explain the costs. She did so. She
