Default Re: Bison Valley residents using The Villages family pools

The in area annual passes are (were?) intended to accommodate TV family members that live with a 50 mile radius of TV.

Family from anywhere outside the 50 mile limit can get as many 30 day passes as they can use up. So the spirit and intention of the in area pass was for family members of TV residents. And if you have family in the area it most likely makes sense.

Some home work needs to be done to put the issue into a proper context. From what I understand (3rd hand) there were less than 500 in area passes throughout 2007. That would be about seven tenths of one percent of TV population spread across all the facilities in some distribution. Hardly an inundation of the facilities or am entities.

The bigger issue is the ongoing violation of the 30 day passes that numbers in the hundreds and thousands per month by being issued to almost any and all that know the rules and back into the answers for the passes. Add to that the number of folks who know which pools and rec centers that check ID and those that don't.

IMHO, the in area annual passes are not the problem! The lack of discipline in all the other passes and walk ins are the real problem.
