According to Councilman Swensen, instructions have been left with the Sheriff to have the deputies on patrol turn off the lights at the tennis courts if still on after the middle of the night hours, and to watch for people in the swimming pool after hours for which citations can be issued under the loitering and trespassing ordinance. There was no action taken when Councilman Swensen mentioned that perhaps consideration could be given to setting up some rules for the use of the tennis courts. While on the subject of city recreation facilities Attorney Smith coun- seled that, if not already taken care of, arrangements should be made to have plenty of lifeguards at the pool at all times.
