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

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?

Yes.

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.

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.
