(BERGESON) RELATED TO PUBLIC LIABILITY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH HEREBY RESOLVES:
WHEREAS, it is of vital public interest that the public be
permitted use of unimproved public property for
recreational purposes; and
I
WHE.EAS, public entities will be forced to close or restrict the
use of their property due to the expense of insuring
against, defending and paying claims for injuries
sustained by persons using such property; and
WHEREAS, a court, in the case of Gonzales v. the City of San
Diego, has determined that the provision of lifeguard
service eliminates a governmental agency's traditional
immunity- for accidents occuring on public property in
its natural state.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Seal Beach supports SB 1694 (Bergeson) and urges the
California State Legislature to adopt that legislation as quickly
as possible to restore the longstanding immunity for governmental
agencies related to public property in its natural condition so
that lifeguard service and other public safety personnel will
continue to be provided for the benefit of the public.
