Community Relations Committee June 15, 2026

The Greenfield Community Television (GCTV) Community Relations Committee met on June 15, 2026, primarily discussing civic engagement initiatives and communications strategies. Key topics included the development of a city handbook to improve public understanding of local government, plans for a community boards and commissions fair in spring 2027 to increase public awareness and recruitment, and the potential hiring of a paid intern through MassHire to assist with communications and outreach efforts. The committee also discussed logistical considerations for the fair, such as venue and table provisions, and the importance of maintaining transparency and accessibility in city communications. No formal procurement decisions or contract awards were made during this meeting, but the discussion of a potential paid position and collaboration with MassHire indicates upcoming procurement activity related to staffing and communications support.
