From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, the council received the beach lifeguard service organizational study prepared by Richard Gould under a $5,000 professional services agreement approved on June 25, 2026. The study reviewed whether the reestablished beach lifeguard program should remain in Community Services and Recreation or move elsewhere, and it discussed possible future additions such as an ATV and a rescue watercraft. The report said a year-round Marine Safety Division would require additional staff and equipment and would depend on future Council direction and budget allocations.
The item was informational and meant for future Council consideration.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
