Town Clerk Tina Merritt-Smith told the White Lake Recreation Advisory Board at its Feb. 26, 2026 meeting that Shaun Martin has resigned from the Town Manager position and that town staff will continue pursuing active projects and grant applications that support the board’s recreation priorities.
The announcement came during the meeting’s staff-update item. Merritt-Smith said the town’s work on active initiatives and grant efforts will continue despite the personnel change, and urged the advisory board to remain focused on its event-planning and trail-development goals. The minutes do not specify whether an interim manager was named or when a formal hiring process will begin.
The board’s agenda includes pursuit of grant funding and support for a walking and biking trail around White Lake, and members discussed coordinating events and promotions with local businesses to support those efforts. The town clerk’s assurance that grant pursuits will continue is intended to signal continuity for those projects.
No formal vote or action was recorded on the town-manager vacancy at the Feb. 26 meeting. The board set its next regular meeting for March 26, 2026.
