Summary
Select board agreed police, fire and DPW will give status updates at the Nov. 6 session; members noted a $15,000 legislative design grant for two playgrounds and encouraged updating the recreation master plan to pursue larger grants.
At an Oct. 28 capital planning meeting, the Select Board confirmed police, fire and DPW would provide status updates on Nov. 6 and discussed prioritizing departments for later review. Speaker 7 said the town received a $15,000 legislative earmark to design improvements to Whiting School and Heckler Playground and recommended updating the recreation master plan to be eligible for larger competitive grants (up to $250,000). Board members also discussed whether weatherization and HVAC work at the police station could improve scoring for green-community grants.
Board members asked staff to bring invoices, bids and final cost estimates to future meetings; no appropriation or vote on grants occurred at this session.
