Recreation Commission September 17, 2026

The Greenfield Community Television (GCTV) Recreation Commission meeting held on September 17, 2026, focused heavily on multiple budget appropriations and procurement authorizations recommended by Mayor Disorder. The city council approved several orders to appropriate funds for various capital improvement projects, including the purchase of public safety defibrillators ($30,836), personal protective equipment for firefighting personnel ($36,450), replacement of city vehicles with electric models ($25,000 and $30,000), hazard mitigation plan updates ($40,000), well rehabilitation ($45,000 and $150,000 for engineering and design), water treatment plant HVAC installation ($70,000), nitrogen removal upgrades ($100,000), water pollution control facility electrical upgrades ($100,000), and traffic light upgrades ($110,000). Each appropriation authorized borrowing under Massachusetts General Laws and allowed the mayor to apply for federal or state grants to offset costs. Additionally, the council approved appointing Scanland and Associates, CPA, for the city's outside audit services, replacing previous auditors due to acquisition and service issues. Discussions also included ongoing efforts to improve financial reconciliation and budget process automation. The meeting concluded with scheduling the next meeting and no further new business.
