Winhall seeks usage data as Mountain Towns Recreation contract continues into second year
Summary
Mountain Towns Recreation director briefed the Selectboard on Year 2 of a regional contract and Winhall's $17,862 2025 contribution; the board asked for participation data and outreach plans before finalizing budget support.
Mountain Towns Recreation Director Liam Elio told the Town of Winhall Selectboard that the regional recreation program is in its second year of a three-year contract across five towns and that Winhall's 2025 contribution is $17,862 based on population share. Elio asked the board how Winhall residents were benefitting and whether registered Winhall children were using the center for sports and other activities.
Selectboard members discussed program offerings — youth sports, arts and crafts, trailblazing and adult recreation — and suggested outreach ideas including a presence at the Bondville Fair, flyers in town and neighboring municipalities, a return-bottle bin at the Transfer Station to fund programs, and an article for the Winhall newsletter. Chair Stuart Coleman asked Elio to provide concrete usage data for Winhall participants and cost details to support budget decisions for next year.
Next steps: Elio will return with participation numbers and additional budget information to help the board determine whether the current contribution matches local benefit.
