JUST IN | After more than a year of back-and-forth negotiations, the Jacksonville Beach City Council unanimously voted Monday to pass an agreement between the city of Jacksonville Beach and the Volunteer Life Savings Corps.
Since the city council approved the agreement, the Corps will withdraw its lawsuit Tuesday and the volunteer lifeguardsThe agreement is a five-year term with an option of a five-year renewal. Under the agreement, the Corps will return to providing services on Sundays and holidays with access to and from the lifeguard station.“I truly believe that there’s not one person on this desk that was ever anti-VLSC or against them,” Nichols said.
In turn, the city ended its partnership with the volunteers, kicking them out of their lifeguard station.“We have to take two organizations that had been really intertwined. You didn’t always know where one ended, and the other began and pull it apart, and then figure out how to put them back together. Really, until we got to the mediation table, we weren’t really ready to do that for a long time,” Hoffman said.
