NEW BUSINESS
General discussion was had on current and proposed park and beach oriented programs
and staff required to provide this phase of community service. Commission was
pleased with proposed program but voiced concern over lack of applicants to fill
vacant seasonal beach lifeguard positions. Torem requested information on hourly
lifeguard pay scale as compared to other local cities. Commission felt, after
discussion, that since Seal Beach had the lowest hourly pay scale on Southern
California coast that this was one of the major factors contributing to lack of
new applicants. Commission felt this was substantiated by the fact that Huntington
Beach had one hundred and five applicants for summer lifeguard positions this year
as compared to thirteen applicants for Seal Beach.

.
pay increases for. hourly lifeguards comparable to those rates being offered by the
City of Huntington Beach. These increases to be effective immediately so that Seal
Beach could compete with other cities in securing and retaining the best qualified
personnel available. Kredell to be present at C~ty Council meeting when this item
