With the concentrated efforts of the Sheriff's Department <br />and the Parks Department, enforcement action should increase. <br />It is recommended that a letter be sent to Mr. Witham <br />informing him of our actions in this regard. <br />Neil A.

THE AUTHORITY <br />FOR THAT IS OTHER THAN WHAT WAS SENT OUT IN THE INFORMATION PACKET. <br />HE NOTED THAT HISTORICALLY, THERE HAS NOT BEEN THAT MUCH PRESSURE; S0, <br />PERMISSION WAS GRANTED IN CERTAIN AREAS, AND IT IS WITHIN THE BOARD'S <br />DISCRETION TO REVIEW AND CHANGE THIS SITUATION IF DESIRED. HE <br />BELIEVED THE AREAS WHERE RIDING ON THE BEACH IS ALLOWED ARE NORTH OF <br />WABASSO BEACH AND POSSIBLY SOUTH OF ROUND ISLAND PARK JUST NORTH OF <br />THE SOUTH COUNTY LINE. <br />
