Although RCC applies a category of non-Fairfax County user to pool pricing, the utilization of
our facility by out of County patrons is negligible. If we pursue a new facility, that might change
depending on the type of uses we provide in it.
As we discuss the possibility of adding to our indoor aquatics and fitness offerings, it will also be
critical to bring our pricing for visits into better alignment with other area public providers. Even
without adding to RCC facilities, we are long overdue for adjustments to our single-visit gate
fees and for our multiple-visit and other passes. The staff recommends that we make those
adjustments over more than one fiscal year to assure the impact can be easily absorbed by our
patrons and target an alignment point that will be consistent across any RCC facility.
Leisure and Learning
Suggestions made at the February 11 meeting and in written comments that fell into our Leisure
and Learning program areas included:
Offer a monthly discussion group meeting on the topic of sustainability.
Workforce development offerings should be added (specifically programs that offer
certifications and job skills that lead to employment).
Expansion of the Prospera Hispanic Leaders Program currently offered at Lake Anne
Elementary School.
Open our computer classroom for afterschool classes and drop in use by young people.
Alleviate wait lists in summer camp program offerings.
Community Input 1: Monthly Discussion Group to discuss sustainability issues
Recommendation: A monthly, drop in sustainability Issues group will begin in the fall 2013
season and will be supervised by the RCC 55+ program director. The group will be volunteer
led, primarily by Diane Blust, President of Sustainable Reston.
Community Input 2: Workforce Development Opportunities
Recommendation: The Adult Program Director has researched the feasibility of RCC
facilitating certification programs and career skills training seminars. RCC has always offered
career skills training programs to some degree through our various computer education, writing,
ESOL, and language learning classes. We will continue to monitor, refine and possibly expand
our current schedule of offerings to include more computer education classes, workshops on
resume writing and interview skills, and career fairs that can serve a dual purpose of promoting
job opportunities while inviting participants to engage in short seminars on work related topics.
There are numerous opportunities within the county and neighboring jurisdictions to participate
in career development, career transition, and job certification programs. One of the most robust
and impressive schedule of offerings is presented by Fairfax County Public Schools Adult and
Community Education (ACE). We recommend that RCC continue to offer classes that assist
