' r Ms. Jeanne Mabusth March 22, 1996 Page 3 S a execution of that document targeted for mid-April. An outline of the lease's terms, which we have presented to the School District and its counsel as a drafting starting point, is enclosed. We expect to sign a lease with the School District after it has approved all aspects of our design, our costs and our fundraising, so that the lease itself will be contingent only upon receipt of all necessary City approvals. Project Uses Our initial programming is to operate the arena with ice from mid-September through mid-March. That ice season is subject to expansion, potentially to year-round ice, as and when demand for indoor ice warrants. During the ice season, the project will be used by our youth hockey program for girls and boys, the Orono High School boys' and girls' varsity and junior varsity teams, figure skating and skating schools (perhaps run through the School District's Community Education function), other contract users such as figure skaters and recreational hockey leagues, and open skating for the community at large. Any available excess time will be sold to youth hockey associations or other users outside of our community. Off season, the project will be used by: • the School District, for educational activities (using our meeting room and the arena floor as "classrooms"), and for school productions, meetings, fairs or other fundraisers, and so on • Community Education for classes, for rollerblading and other recreational programs, and for teen dances and other youth activities • other youth athletic associations, such as softball, baseball, soccer, or tennis, for indoor practice with batting cages, nets and screens • the community at large, for meeting space and for other appropriate functions and events Our proposed hours of use, and other use restrictions, are set forth in the lease outline.
