"Second Sheet of Ice"project. This donation will be collected in 2004 and will result in$9,000 in
unanticipated revenue. The tenant will be responsible for their janitorial expense and their

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Northern Colorado Youth Hockey (NCYH) is a growing organization offering competitive and
recreational hockey programs for youth. Over 430 children currently participate in its programs,and
NCYH averages about 60 hours of ice time at EPIC per week. The size of its programs has
necessitated the hiring of a full-time Hockey Coordinator. NCYH has asked to lease space at EPIC
to be used as an office for the Hockey Coordinator. EPIC staff believes that having the coordinator
on site at EPIC will benefit not just NCYH, but the overall operation of EPIC, the users of its
facilities and its staff as well.
City staff worked with NCYH and identified a 177 square foot area that was an office formerly used
by EPIC staff and a custodial room. This space is not currently needed for City staff. The City will
perform a minimal tenant finish on the space to include painting, carpeting, and adding a door
between the two rooms.
