A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY'S COST
RECOVERY SCHEDULE TO INCREASE FEES FOR THE
MARINE SAFETY JUNIOR LIFEGUARD PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach offers a Marine Safety Junior
Lifeguard Program that provides summer educational and recreational
opportunities for youth ages 9 through 17; and,
WHEREAS, the Junior Lifeguard Program consists of one seven-week summer
session and is funded through participant registration fees intended to recover
the full cost of program operations, including uniforms, staffing, equipment, field
trips, and administrative expenses; and,
WHEREAS, the City periodically reviews program fees to ensure consistency
with actual operating costs and the City's Cost Recovery policies; and,
WHEREAS, during the summer of 2025, program enrollment reached capacity
earlier than anticipated, resulting in an increase in enrollment to 350 participants
and necessitating the hiring of additional instructional staff to maintain
appropriate supervision and program quality; and,
WHEREAS, a fee increase is necessary to offset increased staffing and
operational expenses and to ensure continued cost recovery and financial
sustainability of the Junior Lifeguard Program; and,
WHEREAS, the Marine Lifeguard Department has evaluated the cost of
providing the Junior Lifeguard Program, including all labor and direct costs, and
determined that the proposed fees outlined below do not exceed the cost of
providing the service to participants; and,
WHEREAS, a budget adjustment to receive the funds into the Junior Lifeguard
budget is required; and,
WHEREAS, this action to adopt the proposed fees does not constitute a project
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and will have no
environmental impact because it is merely related to the City's cost recovery
schedule.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Seal Beach City Council does resolve, declare,
determine, and order as follows:
