(See Article IV of this chapter.) Sponsored memberships shall be available on a first-come, first-serve basis up to the maximum number of sponsored memberships as determined by Administration and the Department of Recreation on an annual basis and as may be amended from time to time.

For purposes of this section, a family resident or sponsored membership shall count as one membership and an individual resident or sponsored membership or senior resident membership shall count as one-half of a membership.

Use of facility by resident nonmembers.

In addition to establishing the number and types of memberships available to residents and sponsored nonresidents, the Department of Recreation shall annually establish the number of daily passes ("dailies") available to resident nonmembers, if any.

[Amended 5-3-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-5]

A daily pass shall entitle a resident nonmember to use the facility, any day, on or after the third Monday in August of each season.

The fee required for admittance into the facility on a daily pass shall be as follows:

[Amended 12-15-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-012]

All memberships are nontransferable to another family. However, an individual resident member may, at any time, transfer his or her membership to another resident family member that is 15 years of age or older. However, the resident member transferring his or her membership must first surrender to the Swim Club Office his or her active ID card and will not be entitled to use the facility as a member during the unpaid season. A new ID card will then be issued to the resident family member to whom the membership is transferred at a fee of $5.

The Department of Recreation shall establish on an annual basis the Swim Club facility programs that shall be made available to a resident membership, sponsored membership or to any resident nonmember admitted on a daily pass.

[Amended 5-3-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-5]

Inactive membership status (applicable to a full-time resident membership only).

Upon notice to the Swim Club Office at the Marlboro Township Municipal Complex, a full-time resident member shall be entitled to freeze his/her/their membership in the Swim Club and will not be required to pay the annual membership fee. The resident member must surrender to the Swim Club Office all swim club photo identification cards in his/her/their possession at this time and will not be entitled to use the facility as a member during the unpaid season. For that season, the resident member will be placed on inactive status and on the unpaid, full-time membership list.

Prior to the start of the next season, a resident member on inactive status will be offered active status as a full-time resident member again. The resident member may freeze his/her/their membership again in the manner prescribed above in Subsection I(1) or the member must notify the Swim Club Office of his/her/their intention to reactivate membership status and pay the requisite membership fees for the season to reactivate membership. Failure to freeze the membership or make payment of the membership fees in the manner set forth herein will result in the loss of full-time resident membership status.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a resident member on inactive status is not precluded from using the Swim Club facility as a guest of a member on active status.

(4)

To defray administrative costs, the fee for freezing a membership shall be $25.

Membership option for a divorced resident.

Each of the divorced spouses shall be permitted to maintain separate full-time family resident memberships upon remarriage.
