WHEREAS, The Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue station was constructed in 2000 and had

WHEREAS, since the renovation in 2019 the building has been professionally tested and
reports have shown persistent elevated mold spore counts present in the wall spaces of the building;
and
WHEREAS, the Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue has increased its service level to the public,
has increased the number and diversification of their workforce such that the existing single restroom
facility is inadequate; and

operations is wet at the end of the day and needs to be more appropriately stored to help reduce the
level of humidity in the station and the rescue vehicles which the lifeguards use should be stored on
site for rapid deployment to the beachfront when needed in an emergency; and
WHEREAS, during instances of lightening and rain storms the space available inside the
current lifeguard station is often insufficient to house the number of lifeguards working and, on
occasion participants of the Junior Lifeguard Summer Camp held multiple times during each summer;
and
WHEREAS, city staff comprised of subject matter experts in engineering, planning, public
safety and ocean rescue have reviewed the existing building conditions, the current site of the
lifeguard station and the programmatic needs of the COAB Ocean Rescue corps and found there to
be compelling reasons and sufficient space to improve and enlarge the existing lifeguard station; and
WHEREAS, funding in the amount of $562,500 to help pay for the renovation of the life
guard station has been granted from the city of Jacksonville;
