CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 14
January 10, 2006
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Fire Department
Tim Riley, 644 -3101, triley @city.newport - beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: 2006 Junior Lifeguard Program
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the two four -week City of Newport Beach Junior
Lifeguard Program.
That the City Council approve Budget Amendment to establish new revenue
and expenditure amounts to support the new program design.
BACKGROUND:
On October 25, 2005, the Fire Chief and Lifeguard Training Captain made a
presentation to the City Council regarding our Junior Lifeguard Program. At that
meeting, we presented four different program models that addressed the need to
increase the overall number of participants in our program. We recommended
establishing two, four -week Junior Lifeguard sessions. Remaining at our current Balboa
Pier location, each session would include a morning and afternoon class that will offer a
safe, quality ocean education program accommodating up to 1,000 youth participants
per session. Using this model, we were directed to establish new session fees and
prepare a budget.
DISCUSSION:
The budget is based on revenue generated from an estimated 1,600 Junior Lifeguard
participants this summer. Depending on the actual number of participants, both
revenues and expenses will adjust to keep the program fully self- funded. Due to the
shortened session length, the registration fee per participant is going from $495 for City
residents and $575 for non - residents to $425 and $510 respectively.
The increase in Salaries is due to our request to upgrade the half -time Lifeguard Officer
to a full -time JG Lifeguard Captain. A Lifeguard Captain will provide us with full -time

supervision of our otherwise all seasonal lifeguard staff. It is also needed to assist in
coordinating the increase in administrative and operational elements that come with a
25% increase in program participants. This will be the only full -time position dedicated
solely to the Junior Lifeguard Program. This will enhance the scope of supervision
within the Junior Lifeguard Program and most importantly initiate succession planning
for the future of our Junior Lifeguard Program.
The increase of Maintenance and Operations expenditures is due to the increased
number of Junior Lifeguard participants and duplication of events for each session (Hot
Dog Dinner, Monster Mile and Graduation).
The following table depicts the changes from our current budget which accommodates
1,200 participants to our proposed budget which accommodates a planned 1,600
participants:
