SNOW HILL– In a split vote this week, county officials agreed to get rid of the synthetic ice rink purchased in 2019.
The Worcester County Commissioners voted 4-3 to cease ice rink operations and explore how best to dispose of it. While those in support of getting rid of it cited the expense and underutilization, others argued it was an amenity for citizens.
“To get rid of this is a disservice to the people,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said.
County staff were asked to provide an update on the ice rink, which was purchased for nearly $70,000 at the urging of Tom Perlozzo in 2019, this week. The county also spent close to $10,000 on a trailer to hold the rink and skate racks as well as new felt for the rink.
Director of Recreation and Parks Kelly Rados said the county typically worked with a civic organization or community event to set up the rink, and in those cases a 90/10 revenue split was used to help offset the county’s setup costs. It takes about eight staff members four hours to lay down the rink and another three hours to pick it up.
Yet another waster of money. At least it wasn’t as bad as the Black Eyed Susan fiasco in Slow Hill.
Just like that riverboat, anything that Tom Perlozzo touches is toxic and designed to help him in some way.
anyone else sick of recycling TP’s source of income?
Before you throw oit the rink, make sure there arent classified documents hanging around.
(snicker snicker!)
