Black's Beach, to resume lifeguard services?

Black's Beach, located in San Diego decreased the lifeguard services last year to cut off their budget. Since then, lifeguards can only be seen in the stations during summer. But now, Black's Beach is planning to resume their FULL-TIME lifeguard services.

Last Tuesday, San Diego City Council, together with University of California San Diego (UCSD) supported a contract that indicates the resuming of the lifeguard services in Black's Beach. The contract states that the UCSD shall pay $502,000 for the lifeguard services to be resumed the whole year and there are options for extensions. The money will be used to pay the promoted full-time lifeguards since they will be back in an hourly-based employment. 

Also, under the deal, the following will be implemented:

• there will be 2 lifeguards that will staff the area to mid-June;
• 6 to patrol in the summer season; and
• UCSDs during the break of spring.

No vote was taken as of the moment because it is still under the City Council (which must take it twice before deciding). Formal approval will happen next Monday.
