From the SOW, the primary objective for the supplier was to maintain, upgrade hardware/software and extend the life of the existing system.

I have no illusion the gates and cards will ever be eliminated. It's part of the charm if the Villages.
There's no "red button" on the gate up North, coming back from the shopping centers...

Also, the current system seems to have a limit on how may distinct card #s it can handle.

Ergo, removing old, cards that should have been deactivated would seem to be helpful.

It will also have an additional benefit of preventing the cloning of those same cards...
