Councillors Daniel Rizzo and Anthony Zambuto have consistently asked that the city take another look at building at the current School Street site and keeping Wonderland on the city tax rolls. Both Dakin and School Superintendent Diane Kelly warned that switching the site might risk MSBA funding and support for the project. Dakin also warned that switching sites, while not impossible, would increase the total cost of the project because of costs associated with the current site, lost time and infl ation. Councillors opposed to the Wonderland site have repeatedly raised the possibility that the $29.5 million the city expects to pay for the Wonderland site could jump by millions of dollars once the eminent domain taking makes its way through court. Arrigo said that wasn’t expected, but contingency funding of $10$15 million for the site has been included in the budget. After an onslaught of numbers, Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri said his head was spinning. “As a body we need to make a decision. I’m not saying it will be a slam dunk or an easy process or we should just build it and not worry about paying for it. Now we’re going backward in the process – talking about sites. We’ve been up here for three years talking about how we’re going to do this. As a body we need to make a decision, and we need to make it in a timely manner,” said Silvestri. Councillor-at-Large Gerry Visconti, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, wrapped up the meeting by addressing the council’s hesitation to approve the schematic design with the $470.6 million budget in early March as required by the MSBA. “We’ve been talking about this for three-plus years, but we, as a City Council, have just received a breakdown of what the funding sources may or may not be. I don’t want to hear we have to rush through this. This is a $470 million project. Some might not like the numbers, and the numbers are always changing. How can we make a funding decision without knowing how it will be funded?” said Visconti. COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SALES & RENTALS List withList with us in the us in the New Y New Year!ear!
