200,000 dollars to be a lifeguard? Whoa. I'm sure that's going to be sustainable in the long run.
No problem if they are paid by cooperative arrangement - but in this case, they are not. I hope the citizenry will get a clue, and find greener pastures where government is not quite so generous to others with the money it takes from its citizenry.

High pay and benefits for lifeguards in Newport Beach is the latest example of frustrating levels of compensation for public employees. More than half the city’s full-time lifeguards are paid a salary of over $100,000 and all but one of them collect more than $100,000 in total compensation including benefits.
When thinking about career options with high salaries, lifeguarding is probably not one of the first jobs to come to mind. But it apparently should. In one of Orange County’s most desirable beach destinations, Newport Beach, lifeguards are compensated all too well; especially compared with the county annual median household income of $71,735.
