Seal Beach council approves Ready Rebound contract to expand police wellness access
Summary
Council approved a contract with Ready Rebound to provide physical and mental wellness services to police staff, retirees and immediate family members; the council noted POA and JPIA support and reallocated training funds to cover the program.
Council approved a contract to provide Ready Rebound services to Seal Beach Police Department staff, retirees and immediate family members after council discussion during the consent pull‑out of item E.
Councilmember Sinegal introduced the item and described the program as designed “to reduce lost work days due to injury, chronic pain, improve physical and mental resilience, support officers to recovery and safe integration, and reduce long term medical workers' comp,” and noted the program would be available to both on‑ and off‑duty employees and extended to immediate family members.
Police Chief Henderson confirmed the Police Officers Association (POA) supports the program and said the city had met with the Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA). Henderson also credited department personnel who identified the program and said the department prioritized the expense by reallocating training funds.
A motion to approve the contract was made and the council voted, with the motion carrying unanimously (5–0). The motion authorizes the city manager to finalize the Ready Rebound agreement and implement access for police personnel as described in the staff report. The council did not record amendments or conditions in the portion of the transcript provided.
