Council narrows Parks & Recreation relocation subcommittee scope to include facility needs assessment
Summary
The council clarified that the Parks & Recreation subcommittee should assess both office design for relocation to Ninigret Park and the department’s broader facility needs for upcoming years; motion passed unanimously.
The Charlestown Town Council on May 12 clarified the charge for a Parks & Recreation subcommittee: it should assess the design for relocating the Parks & Recreation Department to Ninigret Park and also evaluate the department’s facility needs for upcoming years.
The clarification responded to a Parks and Recreation Commission request for guidance following the council’s April 14 directive. Councilor Stokes moved that the subcommittee’s purpose include both short-term design work and a longer-term facilities assessment; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously, 5–0.
The town administrator noted the department’s needs will be considered as part of the broader five‑year capital improvement plan. Councilors asked for a future update from DPW and the parks director to outline specific requirements, timeline and cost estimates for any relocation or construction work.
