Rec Director Julie Mallett said the department will implement a new check-in procedure with membership cards, which will then be scanned to check kids in and out.
“This will hopefully alleviate the long lines,” said Mallett.
Mallett said more information will be available soon as the department “(works) out some kinks.”
