Softball is a long standing program component in the Athletics Core Program area. Typically there are two seasons within a calendar year. Customer demand for the program may support a third season of league play in 2009. If there is a third season,program marginal revenue will exceed program marginal costs, including the additional umpiring cost.

The Washington State Softball Umpires Association has provided umpire services for many years for the department's softball program. Revenue for the City's softball program is projected to be$155,000 in 2009 (two seasons only).
