# Whitman Recreation Commission - October 15, 2026 Meeting.

The Whitman Recreation Commission met on October 15, 2026. Members discussed the FY2028 budget, but reported no update from the Finance Committee or Select Board. The commission chair said they hope to request a $15,000 expense-line allocation to support pool operations, including electricity and phone service; activity and park-program supplies would continue to be covered by program fees. This was a prospective request only—no budget decision, spending motion, or procurement approval was made. A possible dog park behind the Memorial Field bleachers is being explored, with a community survey planned; possible solar panels near the DPW building were mentioned but had not been discussed further. No contracts, vendors, or bids were identified.

The commission also coordinated the Halloween event, planning to use the lower town meeting hall and existing decorations and equipment. Members agreed there was likely no need for November or December meetings and tentatively selected January 14, 2027, as the next meeting date. The prior meeting’s minutes were accepted by motion and second, with members voting in favor.
