Council Member Krishnan explains that resuming lifeguard training requires more staffing and resources from the parks department.

- Increasing the parks budget, rather than decreasing it, would provide necessary resources

Yes.

It does strike me that to do so.

3:42:01

You'll need more staffing and resources to bring people back to do that training.

3:42:06

Right?

3:42:07

And to me, that seems to be another reason to be increasing the parks budget than decreasing it, especially if lifeguards is a topic that mayor Adams has spoken on some quite shockingly in my opinion.

3:42:21

If you really want to sell the lifeguard crisis, perhaps these are constructive ways to start.

Thank you so much, Chair Brandon, and I'll turn it back to you.
