Recreation Manager Shannon Leon
546 Dutra Street
Monterey, CA 93940
(831) 646-3866

Please look through the current online store program information as a reference for composing the program proposal. Be advised that the ages, fees, days, etc. are subject to approval and availability. The department will determine which center is the most appropriate location for the class.

The City provides social media, Public Service Announcements, this Web site, and flyers as additional means of advertisement. A contractor may place newspaper display ads at City of Monterey discount rates at their own expense following Recreation Supervisor or Coordinator approval of ad content.

  1. Provide proposal of course content that includes the following information:
    • Description of course
    • Targeted age group
    • Proposed fee schedule
    • Preferred day and time of course
    • Minimum and maximum number of participants
    • Length of course and frequency (i.e., 4, 6, 8, week sessions or 1-day workshop)
  2. Please submit a resume and no less than three references. The references should include previous teaching experience referrals.
  3. The current contract specifies a 70/30% contractual split of funds collected, based on resident fees. The contractor receives 70%, and the City retains 30% to cover operating expenses.
  4. The program proposal will be reviewed by the Recreation Manager. If the program is consistent with Monterey Recreation criteria, and programming space and time is available, then you will be asked to participate in an interview. All programming is subject to final approval of the Recreation Manager.
