Transparency Check: Sunapee Recreation Committee Meeting (March 19, 2026) Two significant issues were addressed during the March 19 Recreation Committee meeting that impact residents and local families. First, the committee addressed the legality of late fee enforcement. A community member raised a serious concern: if the town has not officially and publicly posted the specific dates for late fee implementation, enforcing those fees may violate New Hampshire state law regarding governance. The committee has been tasked with consulting legal counsel and developing a standardized 'T-minus' communication timeline to ensure the town is in compliance before any more fees are collected. Second, the reliability of town recreational scheduling was called into question. Residents noted that the shared spreadsheet used to coordinate athletic schedules is untrustworthy, leading to direct conflicts between middle school and high school programs. While the committee discussed a 'One Town Rec' initiative to unify communications, the current reliance on an unreliable spreadsheet remains a functional failure for our student-athletes. Residents should stay tuned for the results of the committee's legal review and the implementation of the new communication plan. Accountability starts with clear rules and reliable information. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/recreation-committee/2026-03-19/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
