A spat between the city of Jacksonville Beach and the Volunteer Life Saving Corps appears to have ended, and it’s not on common terms.
City leaders had been negotiating with a group of volunteer guards for months but now is ending those talks, after the city manager claims some volunteers intimidated and harassed staff lifeguards this weekend. Volunteers deny any harassment..
However, that tradition appears to have ended this week. It’s outlined in a letter Jacksonville Beach City Manager Mike Staffopoulos sent to the Volunteer Life Saving Corps’ board of directors. Charles Bond, a longtime volunteer guard and the past president of the Volunteer Life Saving Corps, said he was in the negotiations with the city to keep the partnership going.
Bond said he was aware of the allegations that volunteers harassed staff members on Sunday, but he contests he saw none of that. He said they were at the building to recruit more volunteers and commemorate two more volunteer guards completing training and joining the organization.
