Newport Beach will consider raising its junior lifeguard program tuition to build a $4.9 million headquarters near the Balboa Pier, during its March 9 meeting.

The current junior lifeguard facility consists of a 2,160-square-foot trailer system that lacks a restroom, locker room, and running water.
