Love the beach with no lifeguard system. But in some ways lifeguards would be good, as far as, spotting dangerous marine life in the water. Some people, will just do what they want, no matter, and then expect someone else will rescue them, and risk their own life. We heed the flag system, and it works just fine!!!! Some people just like living on the edge, and no matter what system, you put into place, they will still like the edge!!!!!!!!!!!

Anytime someone says things won't cost the city or citizens more money,seems to be blowing smoke. With sue happy people, who can't seem to read the flags or know that "No" means "NO!" should be stuck at the beach without help. You have changed the signs,you have advertised the flags to death and now you want lifeguards? Please, all that is going to do is bring the city a ton of lawsuits. And the tax payers will be paying for it. No amount of bed tax hike will pay for the up keep, training, and supply of Lifeguards. This isn't Baywatch. By having signs that say, "Swim at your own Risk". Your not legally responsible. Even with Lifeguards, you will have lawsuits for them touching people at the wrong place while rescueing them, doing mouth to mouth without permission, even not rescueing them on time and on and on. You are all setting this town up for a big down fall of lawsuits. Flags do not work,do you really think the lifeguards will? Why be responsible for stupid people, who will sue.
