Presenting IDs at recreation centers and pools

To the Editor:

As Village residents we are told at closing and given ID cards to always have them, and present them when asked. As a Recreation Department employee, I’m told to check IDs at the pools, dog parks and for anyone using and attending a function at the recreation centers. Most residents are willing to follow the rules but there are some residents that want to fight us, and claim rules are bogus or a invasion of privacy. So I encourage all residents to always carry their ID and willingly present them when using the rec centers ,
dog parks and pools. And respect the Rec Department employees when asked for your IDs. We are only doing are jobs to protect residents and our community.
