Thank you, Madam Speaker. I don't believe the city intends to provide life guarding services this summer at the beach. It's been a couple of seasons now without lifeguards at the beach. I think the Member knows the history. We provided, in past, a contribution that the city turned around and used to provide life guarding services. Obviously we are not in that business and don't do that, but we had provided a contribution in the past. The city felt that it wasn't significant enough. We entered into a negotiation which eventually failed. The city left that negotiation feeling that if we couldn't pay for the entire cost of the provision of the service, that they weren't going to provide it. I believe that's where it stands.

I have moved and asked the department to enter into negotiations with the city and discussions around the entire park. I think the park might be better run by the city, who could then provide the level of service and the type of service that they want. Those negotiations really have not moved to the point that I would like to see them. I am anticipating meeting with the mayor and council here going forward to try to have some political discussion around whether or not that is a direction they would like to move in. Thank you.
