Page 38 <br /> ' ' Members of the Orono City Council May 23 , 1977 <br /> � other hand, feel compelled to take our case directly to you and seek <br /> � the relief to which we feel we are entitled. We have tried to show . <br /> that a relatively minor sacrifice in water override revenues of about <br /> $600 from you at this time would eventually be offset by increased <br /> school water consumption and would result in an eventual savings to <br /> � the district of about $5 , 000 annually... <br /> � We, therefore, believe the City of Orono would be - justified �n <br /> • granting special consideration to the school district for sewer and <br /> water rate reductions since these savings will inure to the benefit <br /> � of patrons of the City of Orono as well as the school district. <br /> � It is our further belief that our request should be granted <br /> because our practice and playing fields are subjected each year to <br /> increased use by youth and adult teams from the community which are <br /> � not a direct part of the school program. As a result of .this, the <br /> school has been forced to undertake an intensified maintenance program <br /> � requiring re-sodding, seeding, fertilizing and extensive watering to <br /> maintain suitable turf for these activities. <br /> � ' . <br /> Favorable action tonight on yo ur part, we believe, would be <br /> � positive evidence that the;.:City of Orono is � sympathetic to the finan- <br /> � cial constraints facing the district and wishes to support the school <br /> in its efforts to retain a quality educational program and adequately <br /> maintain its facilities for use by the school and community. � <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> The Orono Board of Education <br /> � <br /> by: <br /> � �,-.��--,-,..� !�. �'�-�_,-�.�- <br /> • <br /> William A.
