Just heard on Channel 12 morning news...

that Mayor Varela was quoted as saying that the city will retain full lifeguard coverage at the beach.  Parking rates will increase to $2 per hour from the current $1.50.  He said that we have to keep people safe. He said that he would "fight tooth and nail" to keep all the lifeguards.  The City Commission hasn't met since Tuesday - other than closed door sessions related to litigation on 3/22.  The next meeting on the topic of layoffs and budget cuts will be on April 5th according to the report.
