Lifeguards at the Marysville Aquatic Center will see a 50-cent-per-hour raise this year, bringing entry-level pay to $8.50 per hour. Marysville City Council approved the raise Monday by a 6-1 vote. Voting yes were council members Parker Price, Diane Schroller, Colleen Behrens, Todd Frye, Keith Beikman and Terry Hughes. Council member Kevin Throm voted no. Bobbi Pippia was absent. Throm said he was against giving the lifeguards a raise, in part, because the city pays for lifeguard certifications, which cost $225.
