Please ICE ARENA <br /> be advised that the Orono Board of Education, (Continued) <br />� at its January 12 , 1976 meeting, discussed your <br /> request at length and decided that they would <br /> not be in favor of sharing the expenses of a <br /> � feasibility study primarily because the <br /> �•,.rollment at both Orono and the P�tound Schools <br /> � is decreasingo The pattern of decreasing <br /> ' enrollment seems to be pretty well established <br /> �.nd it appears an enrollment decline will <br /> � continue for a number of years. <br /> � ���e in Orono have been very satisfied with our <br /> }-elationship with the Wayzata ice arena and <br /> � unless an Orono arena could be constructed and <br /> operated in a manner that would guarantee a <br /> � �ower operating cost and better selection of <br /> + prime ice time, we would, frankly, not be <br /> interested in leaving the �4ayzata ice arena, <br /> � We have been treated very well at Wayzata and <br /> have a fine working relationship with thema <br /> ,* t��Te would hate to see our leaving the Wayzata <br /> op�ration cause the cost to rise beyond a <br /> � reasonable figure for those remaining with the <br /> result at both Wayzata and the potential <br /> � Orono arena costing significantly more than our <br /> present expenditures at Wayzatae <br /> Thank you for considering us in the planning <br /> �:or a new aren<:;. If the enrollment were to <br /> � increase significantly in our schools, or the <br /> cost and prime ice time become a real problem <br /> � at ti�layzata, we would likely be interested studying <br /> � the feasibility of the construction of a separate <br /> Qrono ice arena to be shared primarily with <br /> � T�Touna. <br /> � End of letter <br /> � �'aurus rnoved, Butler seconded, to appoint APPOINTMENT <br /> Geo�ge I3osfield, 2525 �:elly Avenu�, for a George Hosfield <br /> • three-year term to the Planning Commission.
