Aurelia council approves 2025 lifeguard hires, sets pay increases and WSI bonus
Summary
The council approved a slate of lifeguard hires and hourly pay rates for the 2025 season, with new hires starting at $10 per hour and WSI-certified lifeguards eligible for a $200 end-of-season bonus.
The Aurelia City Council approved lifeguard applicants and pay increases for the 2025 season during its March 24 special meeting.
Council Member Nelson moved to approve lifeguard applicants, pay increases and a $200.00 end-of-season bonus for Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certified lifeguards; Council Member Redig seconded. The council voted unanimously to approve the hires and pay schedule.
Approved hourly wages listed in the meeting record are: Brooke Noble, Manager, $18.50/hour; Bryson Fredericksen, Assistant Manager, $13.50/hour; Avery Westphal, Head Lifeguard & WSI Instructor, $12.25/hour; Reese Wieland, Lifeguard & WSI Instructor, $11.75/hour; Kadence Langschwager, Lifeguard & WSI Instructor, $11.75/hour; Antonio Garcia, Lifeguard, $11.00/hour; Shayla Graham, Lifeguard & WSI Instructor, $10.75/hour; Ellie Bloom, Lifeguard, $10.00/hour; AJ Kolpin, Lifeguard, $10.00/hour; Aylah Peterson, Lifeguard, $10.00/hour; Abree Maldanado, Lifeguard, $10.00/hour. The motion also states new hires will start at $10.00 per hour.
Why it matters: the hires and pay schedule staff the city’s pool operations for the summer season and set wages for temporary/seasonal employees. The record includes specific rates and a clear WSI bonus but does not specify total budgetary impact.
