Description

The Capital Improvement Plan includes the replacement of lighting systems at Village Park that will no longer be necessary. The lights were associated with the parking lot and outdoor hockey rink. The Town has recently entered into a long term lease agreement with Casco Bay Hockey to use the property for the construction of a new pavilion style hockey rink with certain amenities and other considerations granted to the Town. Rink construction and some site improvement costs associated with the re-development of the property will be the responsibility of Casco Bay Hockey. The Town has conceptually agreed to be responsible for new parking lot lights and storm water quality improvements. This order is necessary to adjust the current Capital Improvement Plan. The overall adjustment to the Capital Improvement Plan will result in savings equal to $19,000. 

A copy of cost estimates associated with the new expenditures is attached.
