following initiatives: Speed Enforcement, DUI Enforcement, Distracted Driving

Driving Mobilization, Distracted Driving Mobilization, and Community Outreach & 
Betterment. The funding provided by the New Hampshire Office of Highway 
Safety covers the overtime costs associated with conducting these patrols and 
outreach initiatives.
City Manager Aspell further noted the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety 
requires a match be provided by the City as part of the grant. The City match for 
the Office of Highway Safety Initiatives grant is $5,775.00. The City’s match will 
be tracked and covered through equipment purchases, related vehicle costs, and 
administrative costs in managing the grant. 
Deputy Police Chief Matthew Casey stated the grant requires specific language

Meeting Minutes - Draft
Director Gill noted that the recommendation is to grant the bike park group 
permission to raise funds to further evaluate the Martin Park site. If approved, the 
group would be required to retain a qualified vendor to support the detailed design 
process, complete the necessary environmental reviews, and develop an 
operational plan.
Upon completion of the final design phase, including the final design, 
environmental review, and operations plan, the project would be formally presented 
to the City Council for review and approval. If the final design is approved, the 
group may then begin fundraising for construction.
Director Gill noted that this process would provide an opportunity to address 
site-specific concerns, confirm the feasibility of the proposed location, and ensure 
that the facility is compatible with the City’s broader recreational, environmental, 
and neighborhood objectives.
Councilor Schlosser moved to accept the report.  The motion was duly seconded 
by Councilor Keach.
Councilor Fennessy noted the bike park group has been to at least two Recreation 
and Parks Advisory Committee (RPAC) meetings. He emphasized that citizen 
concerns need to be addressed, however, this is the first step.
Councilor Brown read into the record recent communication from a Concord 
resident: Requesting the following issues addressed before a bike park is 
constructed: Full remediation of all unsanctioned trails in the woods, clearly marked 
trails for walkers, which expressly exclude mountain biking, clear signage that 
indicates which areas are for bikes and which are not, the prohibition of dirt bikes 
in Martin Park, a full reconfiguration of the parking lot at Martin Park, and a 
leadership team that leads by example for young people, and does not abuse the 
existing trail system.
The motion passed with no dissenting votes.

Preliminary Discussion: City Manager Recruitment.
Action: Mayor Champlin stated that he was appointing the full City Council, acting 
as a Committee of the Whole, to serve as the Ad Hoc City Manager Search 
Committee. He noted that the Committee would remain in place until a new City 
Manager is recommended to and approved by the City Council, at which time the 
Ad Hoc City Manager Search Committee would be dissolved. He then invited 
Human Resources Director Jennifer Johnston and Purchasing Manager Tina 
Waterman to present options for the recruitment process.
Human Resources Director Johnston explained that there are two primary 
processes available for securing a professional executive search firm and asked 
Purchasing Manager Waterman to provide additional information.
Purchasing Manager Waterman distributed a handout and reviewed the four 
solicitation methods that could be used to recruit the next City Manager: Request 
for Quotes (RFQ), Request for Proposals (RFP), Invitation for Bid, and 
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. She indicated that she would likely 
recommend either the RFQ or RFP process, noting that the RFP process is the 
method most commonly used by municipalities.
Director Johnston explained that she had contacted other municipalities that had 
recently completed City Manager searches and obtained recruitment templates from 
those municipalities for the Council’s review.
A lengthy discussion followed regarding timelines, recruitment processes, 
engagement with executive search firms, and the importance of allowing sufficient 
time to identify the right candidate for the City of Concord rather than rushing the 
process.
Mayor Champlin then polled the Council and determined that there was consensus 
to proceed with the RFP process.

Councilor Fennessy expressed that time is of the essence to make a decision 
whether to move forward with the final design and planning. He noted the Concord 
School District appropriated funds back in December to move forward with final 
design and permitting. He also reminded the City Council that $600,000 had been 
designated with an asterisk in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in June of

2026 for this purpose.
Parks and Recreation Director David Gill noted that the Joint Subcommittee has 
met ten times and previously made a recommendation in November regarding the 
larger project, however, City Council tabled the consideration due to the projected 
cost and requested additional discussion. Following three additional meetings this 
year, the Subcommittee reached majority consensus on a Phase One Master Plan 
concept estimated at $13.9 million. The project is currently estimated at $1.2 million 
for final design and permitting, reduced from the $1.5 million amount included in 
the FY26 budget. Although the project was previously approved, funding was not 
allocated because a master plan had not yet been approved by the Subcommittee. 
He explained if approved, the funding would allow the City to work with the 
School District on final design and permitting, further develop the associated 
business plan and evaluate anticipated operating costs and revenues. Advancing to 
final design and permitting would also position the project to pursue grant 
opportunities that could help offset construction costs.
Mayor Champlin asked Director Gill to speak about the importance of the final 
design and permitting process.
Director Gill emphasized the importance of proceeding with final planning and 
permitting to address longstanding deferred maintenance and establish a clear plan 
for the project’s future. He noted that questions regarding the estimated $13.9 
million project cost, including potential funding sources such as grants, cost 
sharing, and naming rights, would require further discussion. Director Gill 
explained that an approved master plan and finalized design are generally necessary 
to pursue significant grant funding. He noted that advancing to final design would 
also create opportunities for fundraising and potential naming rights, similar to the 
process used for the Merrimack Lodge at White Park, which could help offset a 
portion of the overall project cost.
The City Council engaged in a lengthy discussion on funding, cost sharing, 
maintenance costs, the master planning process, and the approval process. 
Councilors expressed concern about moving forward with design plans without 
understanding the full scope of the project financially. Mayor Champlin questioned 
the possibility of negotiating a new Memorandum of Understanding with the 
Concord School District prior to the October meeting. Director Gill stated that

given the timeline, it would be difficult. 
Councilor Kretovic moved the question. The motion was duly seconded by 
Councilor Davie and passed with one dissenting vote. 
Councilor Schultz requested a roll call on the motion to suspend the rules to set the 
item down for a public hearing in October.
Roll Call:
10 - Yes: Mayor Champlin, Councilor Davie, Councilor Fennessy, Councilor
Foote, Councilor Keach, Councilor Kretovic, Councilor Kurtz, Councilor 
Schlosser, Councilor Sekou, Councilor Todd.
4 - No: Councilor Schultz, Councilor Brown, Councilor Horne, Councilor Kalob, 
1 - Excused: Councilor Grady Sexton
The motion to suspend the rules and set the item for an October public hearing 
passed with the required two-thirds majority. 
City Manager Aspell explained that moving the project forward would require 
preparation and approval of a resolution by Bond Counsel, followed by the 
required public notice period. He noted that the timeline was very tight and would 
need to be confirmed with Bond Counsel. He also asked whether the City Council 
wanted to use available impact fees to reduce the amount of the bond. Councilor 
Kurtz supported using impact fees, noting that some may need to be used within 
the required timeframe. Councilor Foote asked whether the Unassigned Fund 
Balance could also be considered. City Manager Aspell stated that it could, but 
cautioned that additional bonding could affect the City's bond rating and interest 
costs. Councilor Brown requested information on the amount of impact fees 
available, which City Manager Aspell said staff would provide at the next meeting.
City Manager Aspell further clarified that, because this is a City project, the 
Concord School District would need to provide its anticipated $600,000 
contribution to the City before the City Council could appropriate the funds. He 
stated that staff would work with Bond Counsel to determine whether the project 
could meet the October timeline. Council discussed the possibility of holding the

public hearing in October while delaying final action until November if necessary. 
He noted that the hearing could be held as scheduled and either closed or 
continued to a subsequent meeting, allowing the Council to proceed while 
maintaining the opportunity for public comment. 
The Mayor sought and received consensus for staff to investigate using available 
impact fees to offset the bond amount. 
Consideration of Items Pulled from the Consent Agenda
9.
Communication from Samantha Vansylyvong requesting consideration of 
Protections Regarding Flock Cameras and Automated License Plate Reader 
(ALPR) Surveillance within the City of Concord.  (Pulled from consent by 
Councilor Kalob, listed as a referral to the Public Safety Advisory Committee.)
Action: Councilor Kalob shared that a constituent had reached out with concerns 
about the spread of AI-powered surveillance within the City of Concord and 
expressed hope that the City would take action to protect the public. She noted 
that RSA 261:75(b) establishes state-level restrictions on fixed automated license 
plate readers (ALPRs). Councilor Kalob suggested that the City Council consider 
addressing the issue at the local level. She further noted that the Portsmouth City 
Council had referred a draft ordinance containing specific safeguards to its legal 
department for review.
Councilor Fennessy noted that the bill, as originally enacted, included a sunset 
clause that was subsequently removed. As a result, the law remains in effect unless 
it is amended or repealed. He stated that state law is currently addressing these 
issues and, therefore, did not believe there was any additional action for the 
Council to take at this time.
Councilor Schultz echoed Councilor Kalob’s sentiments. She also recognized 
Councilor Horne for addressing assumptions people may have about what might 
constitute a camera and said she felt it was a good idea to address the topic.
Mayor Champlin requested that the motion be amended to refer the communication 
to the Public Safety Advisory Committee and the Parking Committee.
The amended motion passed with no dissenting votes.
24.
Report from the Acting Deputy City Manager-Finance regarding an adjustment to 
Arena Fund transfer to General Fund for FY2026. (Pulled from consent by 
Page 16

City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
Councilor Brown.)
Action: Councilor Todd moved approval or the report.  The motion was duly 
seconded by Councilor Fennessy.
Councilor Brown discussed Items 24 and 25 together, noting that the Arena, Golf, 
and Solid Waste funds had operated as Enterprise Funds until 2018, when they 
were converted to Special Reserve Funds. Councilor Brown inferred that, at the 
time of the conversion, the expectation was that capital projects would be bonded 
and require assistance from the General Fund. Councilor Brown expressed 
concern about the subsequent increase in Golf Course capital expenditures, citing 
approximately $11 million in expenditures and more than $831,000 in current-year 
debt service borne by taxpayers.
Councilor Brown also referenced recent property revaluations and information 
from the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute regarding the distribution of the 
State's tax burden. Councilor Brown expressed concern about the impact of 
property taxes on lower-income residents and manufactured housing and 
condominium owners. Councilor Brown requested that the Finance Department 
provide information regarding the potential financial impact of returning the Arena 
and Golf funds to enterprise-fund status, including the effect on user fees and the 
existing debt service.
Councilor Kretovic provided clarification that the funds had been converted to 
Special Revenue Funds, rather than Special Reserve Funds, and explained the 
distinction between an Enterprise Fund and a Special Revenue Fund. Councilor 
Kretovic stated that the Golf Course had previously operated as an Enterprise 
Fund and, at the beginning of one season, owed the City approximately $90,000 
because operating revenues were insufficient to cover expenses. She explained that, 
under the Special Revenue Fund structure, revenues can be retained and used for 
authorized purposes, including setting aside funds for capital projects. Councilor 
Kretovic noted that Golf Course revenues have been used to offset capital costs 
that otherwise would have been borne by taxpayers and suggested that the 
distinctions between Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds, as well as operating 
losses and revenues, should be considered before requesting additional financial 
analysis.
Councilor Fennessy stated for clarification that the City cannot impose different 
property tax rates on different taxpayers and that the amount of taxes paid varies 
Page 17

City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
based on the assessed value of the property.
Councilor Brown clarified that her comments regarding differing tax burdens were 
based on information published by the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute 
concerning the State's tax structure. Councilor Brown reiterated her request for an 
analysis of the financial implications of converting the special revenue funds back 
to enterprise funds, including how the existing approximately $831,000 in Golf 
Course debt service would be addressed and whether user fees would need to 
increase. Councilor Brown referenced Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds and 
recent increases in those rates as an example of the potential effect of an 
enterprise-fund structure.
Councilor Schulz raised a point of order, stating that the discussion concerned the 
Arena Fund and questioning the relevance of the broader tax and fund-structure 
discussion to the item under consideration. She also noted that several of the issues 
raised had previously been discussed during the budget process and other Council 
deliberations.
Councilor Schultz moved the question.  The motion was duly seconded by 
Councilor Kretovic and passed with one dissenting vote.
The motion to approve the report passed with no dissenting votes.
25.
Full Measure & List Revaluation Project Update Report (CIP #639) from the 
Director of Assessing. (Pulled from consent by Councilor Brown.)
Action: Councilor Fennessy moved to accept the report.  The motion was duly 
seconded by Councilor Kretovic and passed with no dissenting votes.
31.
Report from the Transportation Engineer, on behalf of the Transportation Policy 
Advisory Committee, in response to a referral from City Council regarding 
communications from residents regarding the new Middle School Traffic Plan and 
Neighborhood Safety Concerns. (Pulled from consent by Councilor Schlosser and 
Councilor Keach.)
Action: Councilor Schlosser moved to accept the report.  The motion was duly 
seconded by Councilor Kurtz.
Councilor Schlosser summarized the history of the traffic review associated with 
the proposed middle school and emphasized that pedestrian and traffic safety 
Page 18

Printed on 9/18/2026

September 14, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
concerns had been raised consistently throughout the planning process. He noted 
that, beginning with the school’s presentation to the Planning Board in January, the 
separation of parent drop-off and bus drop-off had been identified as an important 
safety objective. At the same time, residents had raised concerns about increased 
bus traffic on Cypress and Noyes Streets, particularly given the narrow streets, 
on-street parking, and lack of sidewalks and bicycle infrastructure.
Councilor Schlosser highlighted that these concerns had been considered by the 
Planning Board, Building Committee, Traffic Operations Committee, and TPAC at 
various stages of the review. The Building Committee’s February traffic 
presentation identified sidewalks on Cypress and Noyes Streets as potential 
pedestrian-safety improvements, and concerns were again raised at the March 
neighborhood and abutter meeting. He noted that the proposed circulation plan 
presented in April would separate parent and bus traffic and reduce the volume of 
parent traffic in the neighborhood, but would also require buses to use portions of 
Noyes and Cypress Streets where there are limited pedestrian facilities and 
constrained roadway conditions.
Councilor Schlosser emphasized that multiple alternative traffic configurations had 
been evaluated, including options involving South Street, Conant Drive, and 
circulation around the athletic fields. After considering these alternatives, the Traffic 
Operations Committee concluded that the plan separating parent and bus traffic 
was preferable given the site constraints and the goal of minimizing conflicts and 
maximizing student safety. At the same time, the committee recognized the need for 
off-site improvements, particularly sidewalks on Cypress and Noyes Streets.
Councilor Schlosser noted that the updated traffic analysis similarly concluded that 
sidewalks were not necessary for safe and efficient school access but would 
significantly improve pedestrian comfort and walkability for students living in the 
neighborhood. He also addressed the feasibility of sidewalk construction, stating 
that a sidewalk on Cypress Street could largely be accommodated within the 
existing right-of-way, while Noyes Street presented greater challenges because of 
existing mature trees and other site conditions.
Councilor Schlosser emphasized that TPAC had carefully considered the extensive 
public testimony and prior committee work when it revisited the matter in July. He 
stated that TPAC’s recommendation was to have the school district construct, or 
Page 19
City of Concord
Printed on 9/18/2026

September 14, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
make plans to construct, sidewalks and for the City Council or staff to discuss 
with the Concord School District whether the South Street entrance could be used 
in a manner similar to the current configuration, with appropriate safety measures, 
or whether an alternative could be developed that would avoid the use of Noyes 
and Cypress Streets.
Councilor Schlosser recommended that the Council accept TPAC’s report and ask 
the Concord School District to reconsider whether buses could be accommodated 
without using Noyes and Cypress Streets. While acknowledging that the feasibility 
of such an alternative was uncertain, Councilor Schlosser stated that it was 
reasonable to ask the school district to consider the option again. He concluded by 
expressing appreciation for the extensive work of TPAC, the other City 
committees, residents, and staff, and specifically recognized Transportation 
Engineer Karen Hill for her substantial work in evaluating and synthesizing the 
traffic and pedestrian-safety issues.
Councilor Kretovic expressed concern about the school district’s community 
engagement regarding the proposed traffic plan. She stated that affected residents 
should have been consulted before the plan advanced and referenced prior City 
discussions regarding sidewalks on Cypress and Noyes Streets and the goal of 
promoting safe, walkable routes to school. She questioned whether the proposed 
sidewalks would be funded by the school district or City taxpayers and whether the 
project’s needs should take precedence over longstanding sidewalk requests near 
Penacook Elementary School. She supported asking the school district to 
reconsider its plan and explore alternatives that would avoid routing additional bus 
traffic through Cypress and Noyes Streets.
Councilor Todd supported continued engagement between the school district and 
affected residents. He also requested additional information regarding why the 
existing south drop-off area could not be modified to address safety concerns, 
potentially avoiding the need to separate bus and parent drop-off locations. He 
supported the motion as a means of encouraging further discussion. Councilor 
Kalob expressed support for the concerns raised by residents and other 
Councilors. She noted the importance of pedestrian safety and thanked Councilor 
Schlosser and affected residents for providing information and context regarding 
the proposed changes.
Councilor Fennessy stated that sidewalks could be reasonable if ultimately the

Meeting Minutes - Draft
project results in increased traffic in the neighborhood. However, he expressed 
concern with recommending that the school district fund off-site improvements or 
reconsider its proposed access configuration. He said the school district should 
retain authority over the design of its project and that he was not comfortable 
directing changes to a plan developed after consideration of student, parent, and 
traffic-safety issues.
Councilor Schlosser clarified that the recommendation would request, rather than 
direct, that the school district reconsider its plan and that the district would retain 
authority over the final design. He disagreed with the characterization that the 
school district had failed to consider residents’ concerns, noting that safety 
concerns had been identified and extensively considered. He stated that the 
district’s rationale for separating parent and bus traffic was to improve student 
safety, while acknowledging the concerns associated with routing buses through 
neighborhood streets.
Councilor Fennessy reiterated that he viewed the TPAC recommendation as 
expressing concern with the school district’s proposed approach. He stated that, 
because he had not participated in the school district’s detailed evaluation of the 
safety and design considerations, he preferred to defer to the district regarding the 
project configuration.
The motion passed with one dissenting vote.
32.
Report from the Public Safety Advisory Board requesting City Council accept this 
report and recommend that the City Council inform the Planning Board that the 
Council wishes to prioritize public safety as part of the City’s Master Plan update 
and recommend that the Planning Board consult with the Public Safety Advisory 
Board (PSAB) as part of the planning and community-engagement process. (Pulled 
from consent by Councilor Brown.)
Action: Councilor Kretovic moved approval of the report.  The motion was duly 
seconded by Councilor Schultz.
Councilor Brown stated that public safety should be an integral component of the 
updated City Master Plan but questioned the recommendation to specifically 
include the Public Safety Board in the master planning process, noting that 
meetings are open to the public. Councilor Brown also raised concerns regarding 
the frequency and consistency of the Board's meetings.
Councilor Horne stated that City committees had been invited to participate in the 
Page 21
City of Concord

City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
master planning process. Councilor Kurtz added that including the Public Safety 
Board would be consistent with the participation of other advisory boards.
Councilor Todd clarified that the Public Safety Board was not currently among the 
six committees participating in the process: Conservation Commission, Economic 
Development Advisory Committee, Energy Environment Committee, Heritage 
Commission, Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee, and Transportation 
Policy Advisory Committee. Councilor Todd stated that the recommendation was 
intended to provide the Public Safety Board with an opportunity to contribute its 
expertise and perspective to the master planning process.
Councilor Kretovic emphasized the importance of incorporating police and fire 
service needs into the master plan, particularly in relation to anticipated growth, 
development, call volumes, and resource allocation. She stated that the Acting 
Police Chief and Fire Chief had requested that the Public Safety Board have a seat 
at the table during discussions concerning growth and development and indicated 
support for the motion.
Councilor Fennessy expressed support for including the Public Safety Board, 
citing the Board's role in discussions regarding development patterns and the 
long-term allocation of police and fire resources.
Councilor Brown requested clarification regarding which committees were 
participating in the master planning process and whether other committees were 
excluded. 
Councilor Schlosser identified the six participating committees and stated that the 
Public Safety Board was requesting consideration for inclusion based on the 
importance of public safety to the community.
The motion passed with no dissenting votes.
33.
Report from the DEIJB Committee in response to a City Council referral from Julia 
Freeman-Woolpert requesting review of current park permit fees for small 
community events and discussion of ways to improve access to public parks for 
local use.  (Not previously distributed.) (Pulled from consent by Councilor Brown 
and Councilor Kalob.)
Action: Councilor Kretovic moved approval of the report.  The motion was duly 
seconded by Councilor Kurtz.

Meeting Minutes - Draft
Councilor Kalob stated that the report had been anticipated by several community 
members and commended the Committee for its work. Councilor Kalob noted that, 
although the report was brief, it demonstrated a need for the park fee waiver 
process to be more transparent and accessible. She stated that there did not appear 
to be an interest in eliminating park fees, but suggested that greater clarity and easily 
accessible information about the waiver process on the City’s website would 
benefit all parties involved.
Councilor Brown agreed and stated that the Council should have access to 
information regarding who is receiving park fee waivers. Councilor Brown 
suggested that, even if such information remained confidential to the Council and 
was not disclosed publicly, providing the Council with this information would help 
members better understand their constituency.
The motion passed with no dissenting votes.
Comments, Requests by Mayor, City Councilors
Action: Councilor Davie read communication he had received from a resident of 
the Pittman Building in Ward 4 regarding enforcement devices located in units at 
Concord Housing Authority properties. The resident stated that they had lived in 
the Pittman Building for seven years and that conditions had not always been the 
same. The resident expressed concern about what they described as constant 
pressure from housing authorities and stated that they felt a responsibility to 
advocate for fellow disabled residents who had been significantly affected by 
decisions involving housing and HUD without their rights being adequately 
considered.
On a more positive note, Councilor Davie noted that the first open house for the 
Master Plan would be held on Saturday and said he was looking forward to 
participating.
Councilor Schultz thanked Councilor Davie and congratulated the City Clerk’s 
Office on another successful Primary Election Day. She noted that due to a change 
in state law future state primaries would be held in June. She also noted that 
Concord Ward 5 had been selected for a random audit by the Secretary of State’s 
Office and, as she understood it, the results reflected well on the City Clerk’s 
Office and the Ward 5 election officials. She offered her congratulations to all 
involved.

Councilor Kurtz wished a happy new year to Concord’s Jewish residents 
celebrating the holiday. She added details regarding the Master Plan meeting, noting 
that it would be held on Saturday, September 19, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at 
Governor’s Hall at the Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 South Main Street. She also 
reminded residents that Concord’s Multicultural Festival would be held on Sunday, 
September 20th, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Keach Park.
Councilor Kalob echoed Councilor Davie’s comments regarding issues involving 
Concord Housing and redevelopment. She acknowledged the ongoing litigation 
and noted that the matter affects approximately 100 of her constituents who reside 
in the JFK Building. She encouraged Councilors, particularly those with public 
housing residents in their wards, as well as the Mayor and at-large Councilors, to 
reach out to residents and speak with them directly. 
Councilor Kalob stated that she regularly encounters residents of the JFK Tower 
and Pittman Building and has had conversations with them about their concerns. 
She acknowledged that the City would need to await the outcome of the ongoing 
litigation but said that, based on her conversations with residents, she had observed 
significant concern and fear among some residents.
Councilor Kalob stated that she would provide a visual aid regarding the matter and 
noted that the materials were extensive. She clarified that Concord Housing and 
Redevelopment is not affiliated with the City of Concord, although the City 
Council approves appointments to its Board of Commissioners. She stated that the 
issue had occupied significant attention over the previous week and encouraged 
Councilors to speak with residents of public housing. She emphasized that many of 
these residents are elderly, permanently disabled, or both.
Councilor Schlosser announced that a resident meeting would be held on Tuesday, 
September 22, at 7:00 p.m. at the West Street Ward House and stated that all 
residents were welcome to attend.
Councilor Sekou thanked Councilors for their comments regarding the election and 
upcoming community events, including the Multicultural Festival and the Master 
Plan process. He stated that he was pleased to be back in the United States after 
traveling in July and August to care for his mother. He described the experience as 
Page 24

difficult but meaningful and expressed his gratitude to the Council, members of the 
community, and others who reached out to him during his absence.
Councilor Sekou also expressed appreciation for the opportunity for his children to 
meet their grandparents for the first time. He described the experience as 
meaningful and memorable for his family. He thanked the community for its 
support, prayers, encouragement, and understanding during his absence and said 
he was grateful to return and continue serving the community.
Regarding the Master Plan, Councilor Sekou encouraged residents to participate in 
the process, emphasizing the importance of residents sharing their ideas and 
providing input.
Councilor Brown thanked Councilor Schultz for reporting on the Ward 5 election 
audit and said she looked forward to thanking the Ward 5 election officials who 
worked at the polls. Councilor Brown also discussed the Multicultural Festival and 
its economic impact on the community. She noted the festival’s long history and 
continued growth and stated that, according to information provided by one of the 
organizers, approximately $35,000 was spent on food from local restaurants, food 
trucks, and New American cooks; approximately $5,000 was spent on local artists; 
and approximately $10,000 was spent on local performers. She also noted that 
several thousand dollars were paid to the City for rentals and permits, that the 
festival did not receive a grant, and that additional spending benefited local vendors 
and businesses. She encouraged residents to attend the Multicultural Festival at 
Keach Park from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Councilor Foote noted that it had been 25 years since September 11, 2001, and 
reflected on the passage of time. He also recognized the Concord Fire Department 
and others who responded to a serious motor vehicle accident on Interstate 93 
approximately four weeks earlier involving an East Concord resident whom he had 
known while growing up. He expressed his appreciation for the emergency 
responders’ efforts.
Mayor Champlin noted that several Councilors had already mentioned items on his 
list, including the Multicultural Festival and the recent election. He emphasized the 
significant amount of work required by the City Clerk’s Office to prepare for an 
election, including creating and verifying ballots, posting sample ballots for each

ward, training poll workers, and coordinating with ward moderators and clerks.
Mayor Champlin expressed his appreciation and congratulations to the City Clerk’s 
Office, City Clerk Janice Bonenfant, the Deputy City Clerk, City staff, and election 
workers. He noted that, because his name was not on the ballot, he had visited 
seven of the City’s ten polling locations during the election. He said that the polling 
locations were operating smoothly and that poll workers were helpful and 
professional. He credited the City Clerk’s Office and the poll workers for their 
preparation and training.
Mayor Champlin also reminded residents that the first public meeting for the 
Master Plan process would be held on Saturday, September 19, from 9:00 to 11:00 
a.m. at the Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 South Main Street. He described the 
meeting as an important opportunity for public input and encouraged residents to 
participate.
Mayor Champlin particularly encouraged families, young people, and young adults 
to participate, noting that decisions made through the Master Plan process could 
affect the community for decades to come. He stated that the Master Plan process 
would also include focus groups with various constituencies, meetings with City 
committees, and neighborhood meetings, providing additional opportunities for 
residents to offer input.
Mayor Champlin encouraged residents to visit the City’s website and the Planning 
Board’s Master Plan webpage for information about the process and opportunities 
to participate.
