Rink Proposal:
Frank read the proposal that was presented to the selectman on June 14, 1999. The meeting was televised and became the lead story in the June 15^th Daily Item.
The proposal:

ICE RINK ICE RINK ICE RINK

A COMPLETE SPORTS COMPLEX

My name is Frank Micelli, a resident of Wakefield and President of the Wakefield Youth Skating Association .Our organization has approximatly 400 children participating in ice sports. What I am about to present is not about our association, but it is about the ability of our town to plan for the future and develop facilities to accommadate children and adults of all ages.

I come before you this evening to discuss the possibility of a private concern coming into our town to build a state of the art ice skating rink and adjacent sports field (possible soccer) with lights. The two facilities mentioned would be built to specifications that would accommodate high school sports. This project would be accomplished at NO COST TO OUR TOWN.

To complete a SPORTS COMPLEX the parcel of property that should be developed is across from the current high school football field. Having a rink and field constructed in this area would allow Wakefield to have all current major sports venues in one centrally located area.

I am not here this evening as an official party to any group, but solely as a resident of Wakefield that would like to start a process, that would have official town representatives, take a serious look at the possibilities of this venture. My discussions of the past 9 months are now at a point where town officials, if interested, must begin a dialogue and move forward. From the approval process and ground breaking it would take approximately 7 months to complete.

The key element that is needed for the above project to become a reality would be a lease of the land for a 30 year period with a minimal 5 to 10 year option. At that point the land and all assets "rink" revert to town ownership.

Embrace the thoughts of moving forward. If there is anything I can do in the future to help I will always make myself available.

Finally, the possibility of Wakefield owned contracting companies being part of the construction process is alive and well.
All work would go to open bidding, under the owner’s general contractor.
