Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Highlands County Board of County Commissioners is considering a contract for the operation of Lake June Lagoon. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for all patrons. This includes requiring personal flotation devices, providing trained lifeguards, conducting safety briefings, and securing the lagoon during off-hours. Additionally, the contractor must ensure all patrons sign waivers of liability releasing the County from responsibility. This item is currently under review by the Board. The work will involve establishing operational procedures, staffing, and safety protocols for the lagoon. Opportunities exist for businesses that can provide services related to safety equipment, lifeguard staffing, and potentially facility management or security. Early engagement with the County or the designated contractor could provide insight into specific needs and timelines.
