The Scituate Council on Aging board meeting on October 8, 2026, focused primarily on senior-center programs, transportation, outreach, and planning for FY2028. The director reported that a grant was used to install a hardwired printer for SHINE operations, and that fitness equipment—including a weight rack and straps—was being obtained using gift funds. The center is also reviewing its newsletter mailing list; staff noted that mailing to 381 out-of-town recipients costs about $100 per month. No contract awards, bids, or major purchasing approvals were reported.

The board discussed increased demand for programs and rides, plans to expand transportation coverage with a new driver, and an increase of 10 slots in the senior tax work-off program. Staff are exploring future intergenerational programming, trips, and other community partnerships. The board approved the September minutes and later voted to adjourn; no procurement-related motions or policy changes were identified.
