SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH AMENDING RESOLUTION
NUMBER 5545 ADDING THE SALARY RANGE FOR
THE POSITION OF BEACH LIFEGUARD TRAINEE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff requests that Council adopt the proposed resolution by adding the salary range for the
position of Beach Lifeguard Trainee.
e
BACKGROUND:
Each summer, the Lifeguard Department holds a lifeguard try-out to recruit part-time
beach lifeguards for the summer season. The Department holds a swim test after which
the top fifteen to twenty applicants would be retained and enrolled into a training class.
The training class usually produces between five to ten eligible guards.
The lifeguard training class consists of 100 hours of training. The participants would be
compensated a stipend at the completion the class. The stipend would be equal to
minimum wage for the hours of training.
The City's Personnel Division counsel firm, Liebert, Cassidy, Whitmore, in the recent
past assisted the City with a Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) assessment, to assist
the City in ensuring that it is in compliance with federal guidelines. One of the
recommendations of the assessment is to cease the practice of providing a stipend to
participants at the end of training. The trainees are to be retained as temporary, at-will,
part-time employees and compensated at an hourly wage of at least minimum wage.
The range is added as follows:
