A humid southern city has a public beach that is open from 6am-10pm every day of the year.  The city’s parks and recreation department wants to increase the number of lifeguards posted every day  from 6am-10pm from the current level of 4 guards at all points in time to a new level of 7 guards at all points in time.  Assume that the city cannot use overtime from the current force nor can it hire temporary per diem workers to fill this gap. Roughly, how many additional fulltime 8-hour five day per week lifeguard positions would the department probably need to request?  (think about the operating budget assignment)
