October 30, 1991
The Ice Rink Siting Advisory Committee held their initial meeting
on Wednesday October 30, 1991 in the Conference Room at the Town
Hall at 7:30 p.m. In attendance were members Nelson Burbank,
Martin Curley, George Hines, Harold Hulse and Mike McCaffrey.
Also in attendance as interested observers were residents Steve
Thomases, Kevin Moran, Ken Downey, Pat Sudbay and Brad Latham.
The initial item of business to be conducted was to officially
organize as a committee. On a motion by Nelson Burbank seconded
by.Harold Hulse George Hines was elected Chairman by a-vote of 4-
0-1. Harold Hulse nominated Mike McCaffrey as Vice Chairman,
Martin Curley nominated Nelson Burbank. The initial vote
resulted in a 2-2 tie which was broken when Chairman Hines voted
for Nelson Burbank.
Mr. Burbank gave an overview of the project and a brief summary
of the feasibility process for the Siting Advisory Committee mem-
bers who were not on the Feasibility Task Force. Nelson and
George Hines also answered questions posed by the new members.
George Hines spent some time reviewing the.Selectmen's charge to
the Committee.
Chairman Hines then handed out an outline of a siting study
process taken from material submitted by Steve Thomases. The
Committee concurred that the process was reasonable and we could
use the outline as a general guide for the process.
Martin Curley indicted that the Committee had a lot of work to do
and should avoid the trap of spending unnecessary time on unwork-
able sites. Nelson Burbank concurred.
The Committee spent some time in a general discussion of pre-
viously discussed sites and George Hines commented on current
Town initiatives on specific sites. The Committee agreed that
inventory of potential sites was the first order of business and
agreed to request staff from Public Works, Planning and Conserva-
tion to attend the next meeting and assist in determining
appropriate sites.
The next meeting was set for Wednesday November 6, 1991 after the
Committee agreed that Wednesday was a good meeting night. George
Hines also committed to Kevin Moran of the Birch Meadow neighbor-
hood that the Committee would copy him as a representative of the
area on meeting notices and information.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:00 p.m.
Respectfully pubmitted
