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