He said they open at 11 a.m. on Saturday and explained what crews were doing to prepare them for the opening weekend.
"Well, I mean everything," Tartaglia said. "[Placing] the lifeguard chairs.... [putting] the buoys out in the water."
Tartaglia said there's no shortage of lifeguards. He said they are fully staffed and are preparing for plenty of people to patronize the beaches this weekend.
