title
Approve and authorize execution of the termination of City of Huntington Beach Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Huntington Beach and Friends of the HB Junior Guards
body
Statement of Issue:
The Friends of the HB City Junior Guards (FJG) and the City have enjoyed a long-term association, first memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2005. This has provided youth from the City and the surrounding area the opportunity to learn ocean safety, lifesaving techniques, first aid, marine ecology, fitness and other valuable skills. FJG also has responsibility for the purchase of all clothing, uniforms and merchandise for the program. Participants purchase these supplies from FJG. On April 9, 2024, the FJG met and voted to terminate the existing MOU with the City. They also requested, in accordance with provisions in the MOU, that the City purchase all unsold supplies. At this time, approval of the attached termination agreement ending the MOU is requested, along with an allocation of $129,000 for the purchase of unsold FJG inventory.
Financial Impact:
The proposed action would have a net neutral impact because the requested allocation will be offset by sales of Junior Lifeguard clothing, uniforms and merchandise.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
A) Approve and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute Termination of City of Huntington Beach Memorandum of Understanding with Friends of the HB Junior Guards (Att 1); and
