new witnesses have surfaced in a massive lawsuit filed against cowabunga bay water park in henderson. the park had only a handful of lifeguards on duty last year when a 6- year old boy was pulled underwater and left paralyzed for life. ((brian loftus)) >> as the i-team uncovered, that incident exposed serious enforcement issues within the southern nevada health district, and now, current a tell us about other risks to public health, far beyond the walls of a water park. george knapp has the story.

are suing cowagunga bay because of what they say is a callous, systemic disregard for public safety. according to the conditions that allowed the park to open, the sprawling wave pool needed to have 17 lifeguards on duty. in a sworn deposition, general manager shayne huish testified that the park never assigned that many lifeguards to the wave pool. on the day leland was hurt, and only three were working. once district never inspected it or checked the lifeguards. two weeks after leland's injury, the park was again caught red handed with fewer than half the required number of lifeguards at the wave pool. so what punishment did the district hand out? jackie reszetar: we charged them 118 dollars. ((george knapp)) chief environmental health officer jackie reszetar thinks 118 dollars was an appropriate fee for the violation that left leland gardner in thsi state.

variance. reszetar lobbied the health board to cut the lifeguard requirement by two thirds. during that meeting, no mention was made of the park's repeated violations of the law.. george knapp: how do you have a hearing about cowabunga bay's lifeguards without mentioning what happened to leland gardner? health district whistleblower: i don't know. i dont know how they could ever show that because, to get a variance, you have to show financial burden and how you'll protect the public...so if you have a facility that has a drowning issues....already that would not allow you to have a variance. ((george knapp)) this experienced health district whistleblower is one of a half dozen longtime employees who've contacted the i-team. inspectors told us the wave pool should have been ordered closed,

that action was stripped from inspectors when jackie rezsetar was hired. reszetar implemented what she calls an industry-friendly approach, that is, businesses which are found in violation of health laws get the benefit of the doubt. it applies not only to water parks but in casesd of food safety violations.....sani tation risks...across the board. when inspectors find a violation, businesses know how to get around the law. whistleblower: 3333 there are a number if they go direxctly to jackie reszetar, they can get a lot approved or look the other way. ((george knapp)) inspectors say they work in fear, and it shows in the comments submitted during an employee survey last year. the results are overwhelmingly negative..upper management is dysfunctional..t he employees demoralized.....a lack of honesty transparency and competency....wh ich put public health at serious risk.

report them at all... whistleblower: because they are afraid that she will just waive whatever law there might be, on a whim. george knapp 8 news now ((brian loftus)) >> the health district conducted a new employee survey back in september but, in light of the scathing responses generated last year, this latest survey did not provide a space for employee comments.
