Tuesday the Bay County Commissioners &#8220;balked&#8221; at the idea of giving the City of Panama City Beach $108,000 to fund lifeguards at Rick Seltzer Park because of the expense and liability concerns. Seriously?  I mean, come on.  We went through this last year, all the controversy, and we had 11 tourists that drown here on [...]]]></description>

Notes from Today&#8217;s TDC Meeting

Bed Taxes are up $117,000 thanks to back-taxes being collected.
The Circus by the Sea is more than likely coming back.  Maybe it will draw more crowds next year.
The CVB has a new interactive marketing manager coming on board.
Rowe distributed estimates of costs of strategic plan proposals to board.  I&#8217;ll be asking [...]]]></description>

8 of the 9 board members were present for the special meeting that was called last Friday. Absent was Mike Nelson. Public attendance was probably the smallest it has been in the last year. It’s anyone’s guess whether this was due to the unusual scheduling of the meeting, a lack of public interest, or the [...]]]></description>

Perhaps this post isn&#8217;t necesary, but I feel it prudent to underscore Bryan&#8217;s comments and insight into the current actions of the TDC.
An interesting point is brought up, and that point is: why are we just now discussing the budget?
We had all summer with little or almost no activity regarding public TDC meetings.  It seems [...]]]></description>

As Jason posted, a special meeting of the TDC/CVB board has been called for Tuesday, September 2nd at 9:00 AM. Based on the Agenda and an August 29th letter from President Dan Rowe to the Board, I believe the board will actually vote on the FY 2009 budget on Tuesday rather than just discuss it.

&#8220;Do you think a ticket system will help deter people from entering dangerous waters on Panama City Beach?&#8221;  This was the latest pcbdaily poll trying to determine whether this would be an effective deterrence strategy and help reduce drownings in our warm gulf waters.
There wasn&#8217;t exactly a colossal difference between those who voted for [...]]]></description>

I can see the justification now &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;ve come 5 hours to see this beach, and I&#8217;m gonna swim whether some flag says I can or not.  I paid for this trip, I should be able to swim.&#8221;  The problem here, you see, is not that the &#8220;evil&#8221; police or safety patrol wants [...]]]></description>

An issue currently at debate is whether we should ticket beach goers that ignore warnings and enter the water despite red flag and double red flag conditions.
Walton County has been doing it for years and they don&#8217;t seem to have as many drownings as we do.  Direct correlation?  Hard to say.  Does [...]]]></description>

Well, the Panama City Beach City Council decided that we need lifeguards, but they don&#8217;t know how they will pay for it yet.
Mike Hudson, a resident of Panama City Beach, started a beach rescue service &#8211; Bay Medical Center EMS Surf Rescue Unit.  His team put together a lifeguard program proposal with was the [...]]]></description>

Ok, so the big question is, lifeguards on Panama City Beach &#8211; everyone else is doing it, why aren&#8217;t we?  Local officials have argued that the cost is too much and the liability is too great.  What!!??  What is everyone else doing?  I should quantify &#8220;everyone else.&#8221;
