ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached
resolution authorizing acceptance and appropriation of $15,000 from the Ocean
Drive Association for the acquisition of competition equipment, including two
twenty-foot long surf boats, for the Beach Patrol Division.
BACKGROUND:
Beach Patrols throughout the United States have had a rich tradition of athletic
competitions developed to test their lifeguard related skills. The City's Beach
Patrol has traditionally participated in a variety of competitive lifeguard
events. These events usually include surf boat (row boat style) races, rescue
skill/speed races, line pull races, paddle board races and timed running. Over
the years lifeguards from the City of Miami Beach have distinguished both the
City and themselves while participating in such competition on the local,
regional, and national level. Participation in these events builds comradeship
and increases morale. The necessary training also enhances the lifeguards'
conditioning and rescue related skills.
ANALYSIS:
This $15,000 donation will enable the Beach Patrol Division to purchase two surf
(row) boats and other competition equipment so that they can train and
participate in competitive events.
CONCLUSXON:
The City Commission should accept this cash donation of $15,000 from the Ocean
Drive Association.
