Action on Approval of an Agreement with Peninsula Gymnastics Training Center for Recreation Programs and Services
Report
BACKGROUND
The Parks & Recreation Department manages and maintains the City's park system, recreation facilities, pools and cemeteries as well as provides recreation programs, services and activities that contribute to the vitality, health and wellness of the community.

Program offerings are promoted through a seasonal activity guide that is developed and published three times annually. Program registration is conducted online, as well as in person and mail.

CSC provided clinics, skill development courses, and pre-competitive programs for participants ranging in ages from 18 months to adult.
Program offerings are promoted by the City through the City's Activity Guide, which is published three times annually. All registrations are managed through the City's online registration portal. The City retains 27% of revenue received per participant to offset marketing, facility use, and program administration costs.
