The Veterans Field discussion occurred under an agenda item limited to reviewing a playground quote. The committee expanded it to include multiple capital elements and funding strategy without separate public notice for the broader scope.
Residents who track the posted agenda would not have known the full range of funding decisions being shaped. The committee plans to bring specific cost estimates and a ranked list to the Select Board on Nov 3. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/recreation-committee/2025-10-15/
At its October 15 meeting the Sunapee Recreation Committee prepared capital funding requests for Veterans Field, including playground equipment, swing set reinstallation, and a new scoreboard. The group referenced $162k in available funds and discussed presenting a priority list and “not to exceed” amounts to the Select Board on November 3. The agenda listed only a review of a playground quote. The actual discussion covered multiple projects and funding strategy. No community members spoke during the meeting. The committee also formed a subcommittee to update the recreation ordinance on permits and facility use and handled planning for the Ski Movie Event, including beer sales licensing, though that item was not on the published agenda. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/recreation-committee/2025-10-15/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
