Council Amends Athletic Club Membership Ordinance

To join the Addison Athletic Club, residents need to present a valid Texas Driver's License or Texas Identification Card with a current Addison address along with a secondary proof of residency which can include car insurance, voter registration, a utility bill, or a bank document. Apartment residents must also provide a leasing office verification form. At its February 28 meeting, the City Council approved an amendment to the Athletic Club Membership Ordinance to address the concern that a small portion of Addison residents could not meet the identification requirements established in the ordinance and therefore, could not obtain membership at the AAC.  

The newly adopted language, together with an internal policy that was also shared with Council, allows the Parks and Recreation Director the ability to accept additional forms of address verification in lieu of a driver's license or identification card including:

• Residential property deed, tax statement, mortgage statement, or lease agreement
• Valid, unexpired Texas voter registration card
• Current statement from a financial institution
• Current Home Owner’s or Renter’s Insurance Policy or statement
• Valid, unexpired Texas Motor vehicle registration or title
• Selective Service card
• Medical statement or insurance policy
• Recent Statement from a federal, state, county, or government agency
• Other items as approved by the Director or their designee
