Agenda Item Request:
title
Amend the contract between Oak View Group and Cumberland County for the management of the Cross Insurance Arena.
body
Background and Purpose of Request:
Requestor: James H. Gailey
The Management Agreement between Oak View Group (formally Spectra Venue Management) and Cumberland County expires on March 7th. The Contract has an automatic renewal built into it upon Oak View Group’s notice to the County. Due to staff’s workload over the last six months on top of negotiating with the Maine Mariners on their new contract, a limited amount of conversation has been had with Oak View.
To remedy this and to provide additional time for both parties to sit down, I proposed extending the contract to June 30, 2025. This not only provides for more time to sit down, but also puts the expiration date of the contract better alignment with the County’s fiscal year.
Funding Amount and Source: Not Applicable
