AGENDA ITEM <br />Date: December 8, 2025 <br />Title: Agreement - Long Lake Rowing Facility Use <br />Presenter: Joe Ruthenberg, Superintendent - Parks, Facilities <br />Section: Consent Agenda <br />Item: 7 <br />Purpose: <br />To approve an agreement with Long Lake Rowing and the City of Orono for use of the space at the <br />Old Public Works Facility located at 2700 Kelley Parkway. <br />2. Background: <br />The Long Lake Rowing Crew was recently notified that their previous winter and inclement - <br />weather training space at the Long Lake Willow Fire Station would no longer be available. After <br />exploring alternative options, the organization contacted the City of Orono to inquire about <br />potential facilities that could accommodate their training needs. <br />Following initial discussions, the former Public Works/Orono Fire Station was identified as a <br />possible location. LLRC toured the building and determined that it would be an excellent fit for <br />their winter training activities. <br />As part of the City's ongoing commitment to supporting community organizations and providing <br />opportunities that benefit residents, offering this space is viewed as a valuable service that helps <br />maintain local programming, promotes healthy activities, and strengthens community partnerships. <br />3. Staff Recommendation: <br />Approve the facility use agreement with Long Lake Rowing and the City of Orono. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Consider a motion to approve a facility use agreement between Long Lake Rowing Crew and the City <br />of Orono. <br />Exhibits <br />A.
