Meeting Minutes - Draft
Action: Mayor Champlin noted a correction of the June 4th, 2026 City Council 
meeting, which was requested by Councilor Brown. This concerns recusals by 
Councilor Brown and Councilor Kalob. 
Mayor Champlin explained that prior to the June 4th City Council meeting vote on 
the budget, Councilor Kalob had spoken with him indicating her intent to recuse 
herself from any items that pertain to the Thrive Resource Center. He then noted 
that at the City Council meeting that night, which met at 11:30 pm, he had failed to 
mention her recusal and to include that in the minutes.
Mayor Champlin moved that the official minutes of the June 4, 2026 City Council 
Meeting be corrected to accurately reflect that no recusals occurred by removing 
all references stating: Councilor Brown advised Mayor Champlin that she was 
recusing herself from voting on all items related to the Concord Police Department.
Mayor Champlin also corrected the minutes to reflect a prior conversation that 
evening where Councilor Kalob advised Mayor Champlin that she would be 
recusing herself from all items related to the Thrive Resource Center. The motion 
was duly seconded by Councilor Todd and passed with one dissenting vote.

Presentation by Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill.
Action: Mayor Champlin welcomed Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill.
Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill provided an overview of the role and 
responsibilities of the New Hampshire Executive Council, noting that New 
Hampshire is unique in having a bicameral executive branch consisting of the 
Governor and five Executive Councilors. The Executive Council provides a check 
and balance on the Governor and is responsible for approving state contracts and 
expenditures over $10,000, confirming appointments, overseeing certain 
infrastructure and transportation matters, and assisting constituents with state 
government issues.
Councilor Liot Hill provided updates on several matters of interest to Concord, 
including recent ICE activity in New Hampshire and ongoing discussions regarding 
law enforcement interactions with federal immigration authorities. She also 
discussed the status of the State’s 10-Year Highway Plan, noting that 
approximately $300 million in projects had been removed due to insufficient 
funding. She highlighted the impact of the plan and toll discussions on the 
Page 2

August 10, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
proposed Bow/Concord highway safety improvements.
Councilor Liot Hill also addressed the proposed replacement of the New 
Hampshire men’s prison, noting concerns regarding the facility’s current 
conditions and the rising cost of construction. She indicated that the Executive 
Council recently declined to approve a contract for a study evaluating options and 
costs for the project and expressed interest in continuing discussions with the City 
regarding its concerns and priorities.
Finally, Councilor Liot Hill discussed property taxes and expressed concern that 
the issue is becoming increasingly politicized. She stated that the State has shifted 
significant costs to municipalities and school districts over time and advocated for 
greater State involvement in addressing property-tax burdens. She reiterated her 
willingness to assist the City and its constituents with State-related matters.
Councilor Kretovic clarified that Concord is unique in having its City and school 
districts separately governed, noting that the City does not control school budgets 
even though school taxes make up a significant portion of residents’ property tax 
burden. Councilor Liot Hill acknowledged the concern and noted that state-level 
decisions, including reductions in state contributions to retirement costs for 
teachers, police officers, and firefighters, have increased the burden on local 
property taxpayers.
Councilor Brown questioned whether the State’s proposed 1,500-bed replacement 
men’s prison is appropriately sized given the current incarcerated population and 
asked that the 2020 census information for the prison be corrected. Councilor Liot 
Hill agreed that accurate population data and careful forecasting are important to 
avoid overbuilding. Councilor Schultz asked about the availability of information 
regarding the number of Concord students receiving Education Freedom Account 
vouchers. Councilor Liot Hill agreed to request the information from the 
Department of Education. 
Councilor Liot Hill concluded her presentation and offered to provide her 
presentation materials to the City Council for distribution.
Councilor Liot Hill also shared that she had received a letter from the City Clerks 
of Manchester, Nashua, and Portsmouth requesting guidance from the Secretary of 
State regarding the HB 1300 ballot question, noting concerns that the proposed 
ballot language may not align with the process used in those communities. She 
indicated that she would share the letter for the City’s review.

Public Hearings
26A.
Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, Title I, General Code, Chapter 14, 
Morals and Conduct; together with a report from the Chair of the Public Safety 
Advisory Board.
Action: Acting City Manager Brian LeBrun invited City Solicitor John Conforti to 
speak to the ordinance.
City Solicitor Conforti explained that the proposed ordinance follows recent state 
legislation, RSA 178:33-38, authorizing municipalities to establish social districts. 
Concord voters approved a ballot question in November authorizing the City 
Council to establish social districts. These designated areas would allow patrons to

August 10, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
carry and consume alcoholic beverages purchased from participating licensed 
establishments within defined boundaries.
City Solicitor Conforti explained that the proposed ordinance represents the first 
step in a multi-step implementation process. It would establish an exception to the 
City’s general prohibition on public alcohol consumption, and it would direct Code 
Administration to develop application and enforcement procedures, and establish a 
review process for proposed social districts. Applications would initially be 
reviewed by the Public Safety Advisory Board, which could seek public input 
before making recommendations to the City Council. Additional policies and 
procedures would return to the Council for review and approval before any social 
district becomes operational.
Council discussion focused on the process for establishing and approving social 
districts. Councilors asked whether the matter had been formally referred to the 
Public Safety Advisory Board. City Solicitor Conforti explained that the Board had 
independently spent several months reviewing the issue and that a formal Council 
referral was not required for the Board to consider it. He noted that the proposed 
process is similar to other permitting processes, with Code Administration 
developing the application and enforcement procedures and the Public Safety 
Advisory Board providing review and recommendations.
Councilors also clarified that each proposed social district would require City 
Council approval, with the Council retaining authority over application 
requirements, fees, and the frequency of renewals or reviews. Councilor Todd 
confirmed that the Council could hold a public hearing before approving an 
individual social district. Councilor Brown asked about Laconia’s experience with 
its social district. Solicitor Conforti reported that it had been operating successfully 
and without significant issues at the time of his most recent inquiry. He agreed to 
follow up and provide the Council with additional information.
Mayor Champlin opened the public hearing.
Ben Greenslade, 47 South State Street, thanked the Mayor, City Council, and the 
voters for approving the social district ballot question. He noted his prior 
involvement with the New Hampshire Legislature and stated that he was involved in 
drafting the legislation authorizing social districts. He encouraged the City to move 
forward, noting that the City has flexibility in determining boundaries, dates, times,

City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
and other operational requirements.
Mr. Greenslade expressed disappointment that the social district was not 
implemented in time for Market Days, which he viewed as a missed opportunity for 
local businesses. He cited Laconia’s successful implementation during Bike Week 
as an example of how social districts can operate safely while supporting local 
businesses and encouraged the City to continue moving the process forward.
Councilor Brown asked about the amount of trash generated by Laconia’s social 
district, noting that waste disposal is an ongoing concern in Concord. Mr. 
Greenslade was unable to provide specific information but emphasized that local 
businesses should be involved in developing the program and suggested they may 
be willing to help address waste disposal costs and provide trash receptacles.
Councilor Kretovic asked about the potential benefit of social districts to local 
restaurants and alcohol sales. Mr. Greenslade said he could not speak to specific 
revenue figures but noted that alcohol sales have declined for various reasons. He 
expressed support for using social districts as an opportunity to rethink how the 
community and public interact with alcohol.
There being no further testimony, Mayor Champlin declared the public hearing 
closed.
26B.
Public Hearing regarding the status of the $130,000 in Community Development 
Block Grant (CDBG) COVID-19 (CDBG-CV) funds, the majority of which was 
sub-granted to the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) for costs 
incurred in operating their Emergency Winter Shelter at 240 N Main Street, and 
Resource Center at 238 N Main St, for the period December 1, 2025, to April 30, 
2026, together with a report from the Assistant Director of Community 
Development.
Action: Acting City Manager LeBrun invited Assistant Community Development 
Director Tim Thompson to speak to the ordinance. 
Assistant Community Development Director Thompson indicated he was here to 
provide a status update hearing for this CDGB grant.  He explained Community 
Development Block Grant funds are available to municipalities through the NH 
Community Development Finance Authority.  Up to $500,000 annually is available 
for economic development projects, up to $750,000 for public facility projects, up

City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
to $750,000 for housing projects, and up to $500,000 for emergency activities.  Up 
to $25,000 is available per planning study grant.  Up to $1,038,000 was available 
through a COVID-19 (CDBG-CV) funding opportunity for Public Service 
providers serving unhoused individuals or low- and moderate-income 
households/persons impacted by COVID-19.  All projects must directly benefit a 
majority of low- and moderate-income persons.
This public hearing will update the public on, and take comment on, a CDBG-CV 
of $130,000, the majority of which was sub granted to the Concord Coalition to 
End Homelessness (CCEH) for costs incurred in operating their Emergency Winter 
Shelter (EWS), 240 N Main Street, Concord, and Resource Center (RC), 238 N 
Main Street, Concord, for the period of December 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026.  The 
funds provided reimbursement for the additional services CCEH provided to 
people experiencing homelessness in Concord, NH related to the COVID-19 
pandemic.  674 people benefited from this project. 
Director Thompson further clarified of that $130,000 grant, $114,000 of that was 
sub granted to the coalition, that they then used to reimburse their operating costs 
for the shelter and their resource center during that time. The remaining $16,000 of 
that $130,000 grant were paid to the CDBG consultant that the City contracts with 
the contract administration and grant rating. 
Mayor Champlin noted that there was some confusion on social media around the 
$16,000, assuming this amount was for an additional grant.  He clarified the funds 
were for administrative costs, which have been expended. 
The City Council discussed the CDBG-CV funding provided to support the 
Concord Coalition to End Homelessness and clarified that the approved funding 
period extended through April 30, although the winter shelter itself was open only 
through the end of March. Director Thompson explained that the 
December-through-April funding period was established by the Community 
Development Finance Authority (CDFA) under the CDBG-CV grant program and 
did not require the shelter to remain open for the entire funding period. The funding 
also supported the Resource Center, which operates year-round.
Councilor Kretovic asked whether the approximately $16,000 administrative 
allocation was standard grant practice or specific to the arrangement with the 
Coalition. Director Thompson explained that federal grants generally allow for 
administrative costs and noted that Concord, as a non-entitlement community, 
Page 10
City of Concord
Printed on 8/31/2026

August 10, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
competes statewide for CDBG funding administered through CDFA, unlike 
entitlement communities such as Manchester, Nashua, and Rochester, which 
receive direct federal allocations. He further clarified that the administrative 
allowance could have supported City staff if the City had administered the grant 
internally.
The Council also discussed whether the CDBG-CV funding affected other 
organizations seeking CDBG assistance. Director Thompson clarified that the 
CDBG-CV funds were separate from the CDBG housing funds previously 
considered by the City. He noted that Families in Transition was awarded a 
$500,000 CDBG housing grant, including approximately $25,000 for grant 
administration, while Riverbend was not selected for funding. Director Thompson 
explained that the CDBG-CV program was a separate, expedited funding 
opportunity intended to distribute COVID-19 relief funds that otherwise could have 
been returned to the federal government.
Mayor Champlin opened the public hearing.
Karen Jason, Executive Director of the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness, 
testified expressing appreciation for the City's support and described the significant 
impact of the funding. She explained that the funds enabled the winter shelter to 
open earlier and remain open later in the morning, expanded weekday afternoon 
hours, and provided additional warming center hours during periods of extreme 
cold. In total, the funding supported approximately 73 additional hours of service, 
allowing staff to establish stronger connections with individuals, provide additional 
case management and outreach, and connect people with other community 
resources. Ms. Jason reported that, over the course of the year, the organization 
and its community partners helped 43 people obtain housing.
Councilors recognized the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness and the 
Friendly Kitchen for their collaborative efforts to provide expanded services during 
the winter, including extended hours that helped ensure continuous access to 
shelter and daytime resources for vulnerable residents during periods of extreme 
cold. Councilor Schultz also advised Ms. Jason that the City would be discussing 
potential responses to extreme heat and encouraged the Coalition to consider 
whether its Resource Center could play a role in addressing the needs of residents 
during periods of dangerous heat.
Councilors Kretovic and Schlosser expressed their appreciation for the Coalition's 
Page 11
City of Concord
Printed on 8/31/2026

August 10, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
work and emphasized the importance of the organization's outreach and services. 
Councilor Kretovic noted that 614 people benefited from the winter shelter and 
highlighted that extreme weather often brings vulnerable individuals into contact 
with service providers who might otherwise remain difficult to reach. The Council 
expressed gratitude to the Coalition and its community partners for protecting and 
assisting vulnerable members of the community.
There being no further testimony, Mayor Champlin declared the public hearing 
closed.
Director Thompson indicated this was not an action item and not vote would be 
necessary during the Public Hearing Action portion of the meeting.
26C.
Resolution appropriating the sum of $67,376 in the General Fund as a transfer out 
to trust and accepting the sum of $67,376 from the Boys & Girls Club of Central 
and Northern New Hampshire for this purpose, retroactive to June 30, 2026; 
together with a report from the Director of Special Projects & Strategic Initiatives.
Action: Acting City Manager Brian LeBrun explained that, as part of the off-site 
improvements required during the planning review of the Penacook Community 
Center project, the Boys and Girls Club was responsible for constructing 
sidewalks on Dolphin Street. Although the City partnered with the Boys and Girls 
Club on the Community Center project, the Club was responsible for the 
associated construction costs. Because Dolphin Street was included in the FY23 
neighborhood street paving program under CIP 78, the City and the Boys and Girls 
Club agreed to coordinate the sidewalk construction with the paving project, with 
the Club covering the full cost of the sidewalk work through the CIP.
Mr. LeBrun reported that the sidewalk work has been completed and the City has 
received all associated funds. With the project now closed, staff recommended 
transferring the remaining funds to the Highway Reserve for use in future 
neighborhood street paving projects under CIP 78. This transfer would preserve 
the funds for future eligible paving work while allowing the completed project to be 
formally closed.
Mayor Champlin opened the public hearing.  There being no testimony, he declared 
the hearing closed.
26D.
Resolution appropriating the sum of $11,500 in the Parks & Recreation 
miscellaneous grants and donations project for the free summer concert series and 
accepting the sum of $11,500 as a donation from the Walker Lecture series for this 
Page 12
City of Concord

City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
purpose; together with a report from the Recreation and Parks Advisory 
Committee.
Action: Acting City Manager Brian LeBrun explained that in 2022, the City 
approached the Walker Lecture Series regarding funding to expand the free 
community concert series to include Sunday morning concerts at the Merrimack 
Lodge at White Park. The Walker Lecture Series agreed to fund the expansion, 
resulting in 10 concerts being held at the Lodge from mid-June through 
mid-September. Since 2022, the Walker Lecture Series has continued to support 
the Thursday evening and Sunday morning community concerts. In 2025, the 
organization also provided $11,500 to support additional concerts at Canal 
Riverfront Park in Penacook. The current donation will support the City's 2026 
summer concert series.
Councilor Brown asked how the donation and associated funds are accounted for 
and whether the funds are restricted to this type of event. Acting City Manager 
LeBrun explained that the donation will be deposited into the Grants and Donations 
Fund and that a comprehensive report on grants and donations will be provided to 
the City Council as part of the first-quarter financial report. In response to a 
question regarding the City's financial statements, Mr. LeBrun clarified that the fund 
is included as a consolidated amount in the Annual Comprehensive Financial 
Report (ACFR) but is not included in the City's regular annual operating budget; 
therefore, the donation is presented to the Council through a supplemental 
appropriation.
Mayor Champlin opened the public hearing.  There being no testimony, he declared 
the hearing closed.
26E.
Resolution modifying the Elderly Exemption for the City of Concord pursuant to 
the provisions of RSA 72:27-a; together with a report from the Director of 
Assessing.
Action: Acting City Manager LeBrun welcomed Director of Assessing John Rice 
to discuss the resolution. 
Director Rice presented a recommendation from the Tax Exemptions Policy 
Committee to increase the elderly property tax exemption amounts in response to 
the City's ongoing property revaluation. The goal is to maintain approximately the 
same number of qualifying taxpayers receiving the exemption as in prior years. 
Based on preliminary residential assessment values, staff determined that the 
proposed increases should largely preserve the existing benefit. In 2025, 98 
Page 13
City of Concord
Printed on 8/31/2026

August 10, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
taxpayers received a zero-tax bill as a result of the exemption. Current projections 
indicate that 94 of those taxpayers would continue to receive a zero-tax bill, while 
approximately 10 additional taxpayers would qualify, for a projected total of 104 
taxpayers with zero-tax bills.
The current exemption amounts are $80,000 for ages 65-74, $131,000 for ages 
75-79, and $223,000 for ages 80 and older. The recommended amounts are 
$155,000, $250,000, and $375,000, respectively. Director Rice explained that the 
exemption is income- and asset-based and reduces a property's assessed value 
before the tax rate is applied; it is not a tax credit. The Council discussed the 
importance of encouraging eligible residents to apply for the exemption.
Director Rice and Acting City Manager LeBrun explained that the proposed 
amounts could be adjusted before tax bills are issued if final assessment values 
differ significantly from current projections. However, based on recent hearings 
and preliminary information, staff does not anticipate changes significant enough to 
affect the recommendation. The exemption amounts are reviewed annually, 
providing an additional opportunity for adjustment in future years.
The Council also discussed the timing of the assessment process and upcoming 
commercial property assessments. Director Rice reported that notices regarding 
commercial assessments had been mailed and should be received within several 
days. Mayor Champlin commented that his preliminary assessment was consistent 
with recent market estimates and commended the accuracy of the City's revaluation 
projections.
Mayor Champlin opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, he closed 
the hearing.
26F.
Report from the Director of Assessing recommending the City Manager be 
authorized to enter into a Payment in Lieu of Taxes Agreement between the City of 
Concord and Briar Hydro Associates for Rolfe Canal Falls, Penacook Upper Falls 
& Penacook Lower Falls.
Action: Acting City Manager LeBrun welcomed Director of Assessing John Rice 
to discuss the report. 
Director Rice presented a bridge-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreement 
with Briar Hydro. He explained that the City has been working with the Assessing 
Department to establish an appropriate value for Briar Hydro's assets, which can 
Page 14

Printed on 8/31/2026

August 10, 2026
City Council
Meeting Minutes - Draft
be a complex process. Because the City's ongoing revaluation was not complete 
before the prior agreement expired on March 31, 2026, staff negotiated a one-year 
bridge agreement with Briar Hydro in the amount of $255,000.
Director Rice noted that the payment is based on the property's 2025 assessed 
value, applicable tax rate, and an agreed-upon discount. The City will establish a 
new property value as part of the revaluation and will use that value and the 
applicable tax rate to negotiate a future agreement. Staff anticipates pursuing a 
five-year PILOT agreement following completion of the revaluation.
In response to Councilor Foote, Director Rice confirmed that Boscawen also has a 
PILOT agreement with Briar Hydro. He explained that the City is coordinating with 
Boscawen and the company's representatives to appropriately allocate the

Discretionary Preservation Easement renewal request, per RSA 79-D, for property 
located at 102 Little Pond Road owned by the Sylvia S. Miskoe Trust.
Action: Acting City Manager LeBrun welcomed Director of Assessing John Rice 
to discuss the report. 
Director of Assessing Rice presented a proposed barn preservation easement for 
102 Little Pond Road, owned by the Miskoes. He explained that the property has 
previously received two 10-year preservation easements covering the past 20 years. 
Staff inspected and evaluated the barn and found it to be exceptionally well 
maintained and in excellent condition.
Director Rice noted that barn preservation is costly and that the easement program 
helps ensure that owners continue to make necessary investments in maintaining 
and preserving historically significant agricultural structures. Based on the condition 
of the barn and the owners' ongoing preservation efforts, staff recommended 
approval of another 10-year easement.
Mayor Champlin opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, he closed 
the hearing.

Public Hearing Action
27.
Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, Title I, General Code, Chapter 14, 
Morals and Conduct; together with a report from the Chair of the Public Safety 
Advisory Board.
Action: Councilor Kretovic moved approval of the ordinance.  The motion was 
duly seconded by Councilor Grady Sexton.
Councilor Brown moved to table the item until additional information is received.  
She indicated that she is concerned that the City has prioritized social districts over 
warming stations, cooling centers, and over things that necessitate the resident's 
safety.
The motion failed for a lack of a second.
Councilor Brown raised concerns regarding a member of the Safety Board’s 
potential conflict of interest as a lobbyist for an alcohol-related organization and 
questioned whether that affiliation was disclosed during the Board’s discussions of 
social districts. She also noted that two Safety Board members had opposed 
moving forward and requested additional time for consideration. 
Councilor Brown then raised further concerns regarding the implications of open 
and concealed carry laws, alcohol consumption and public safety, potential 
impacts on residents who do not drink, trash and other downtown impacts, and 
declining alcohol sales. Councilor Brown urged the City to further study these 
issues and questioned whether establishing a social district should take priority 
over other needs, including heating, warming, and cooling centers.
Councilor Grady Sexton indicated that all of the issues raised had been discussed 
at length by multiple subcommittees and by the full Public Safety Advisory Board.
Councilors generally expressed support for moving forward with the social district 
ordinance. Members noted that the issue had been thoroughly discussed and 
reviewed by City committees and state representatives, and that the process had 
not been rushed. Councilors expressed confidence in the proposed process, 
including legal review, Public Safety Advisory Board review of applications, and 
continued Council oversight. Members also cited potential benefits to local 
businesses, particularly establishments serving alcohol, constituent support for the 
initiative, and the potential for permit and fee revenue. Some Councilors expressed

frustration with the length of the process and supported moving forward without 
further delay.
Councilor Grady-Sexton expressed appreciation for the members of the Public 
Safety Advisory Board and acknowledged the time and effort required to serve on 
the Board, expressing concern that a Board member may have been disparaged 
during the discussion. 
Mayor Champlin stated that he would also vote in favor of the ordinance and 
thanked Councilor Grady-Sexton and the Public Safety Advisory Board for their 
extensive work and detailed review. He noted that much of the interest in social 
districts had come from nonprofit organizations interested in potential opportunities 
and acknowledged that some had hoped the City would act sooner. The Mayor 
emphasized, however, that the City should proceed thoughtfully, with consideration 
for neighborhoods and public safety, and should not feel pressured to act simply 
because another community or business had moved forward first.
The motion to approve the ordinance passed with one dissenting vote.

The motion passed by the necessary two-thirds majority.
31.
Resolution modifying the Elderly Exemption for the City of Concord pursuant to 
the provisions of RSA 72:27-a; together with a report from the Director of 
Assessing.
Action: Councilor Kretovic moved approval of the resolution.  The motion was 
duly seconded by Councilor Todd.
Councilor Kurtz expressed appreciation to the Assessing Department for its 
prompt review and accurate estimates, as well as its willingness to make 
adjustments if necessary. She also acknowledged community members who 
expressed appreciation for the elderly exemption and its role in helping residents 
remain in the community.
Councilor Schultz noted that approximately 100 residents currently receive the 
exemption and suggested that many more residents may qualify. She encouraged 
Councilors and City officials to help publicize the exemption and application 
process so that eligible residents are aware of the opportunity. 
Councilor Horne added that other exemptions are also available, including those for 
veterans, disabled and blind residents, and qualifying solar installations, and 
encouraged residents to review the applications available on the Assessing 
Department’s website.
The motion passed with no dissenting votes.

Easement renewal request.  The motion was duly seconded by Councilor Schultz. 
Mayor Champlin expressed support for the City’s participation in the barn 
preservation program, noting the loss of historic barns throughout New Hampshire 
and New England. He stated that the state program provides an important tool for 
preserving these historic resources and expressed appreciation for the City’s 
support of the effort.
The motion passed with no dissenting votes
Reports
34.
White Park Pond Restoration report from the Parks and Recreation Director.
Action:  Parks & Recreation Director David Gill presented. He introduced 
Garrison Beck, the City’s wetlands specialist from VHB, who assisted with the 
pond project application process and was available to address technical questions. 
Director Gill reported that, following a June report and Council direction to seek 
state approval for hydro-raking as an alternative to full dredging, the state 
determined that hydro-raking was an allowable and appropriate method for 
restoring the pond. He noted that full dredging would have been significantly more 
expensive. The Capital Improvement Program includes $200,000 for the project, 
subject to Council discussion and final approval.
Parks & Recreation Director Gill presented the proposed pond restoration project 
and reported that the State had approved hydro-raking as an alternative to full 
dredging. He noted that full dredging would be significantly more expensive and 
that $200,000 is included in the current Capital Improvement Program for the 
project, subject to Council approval.

Meeting Minutes - Draft
Councilor Brown asked about the effectiveness and cost of hydro-raking, the 
potential for lotus seeds to remain dormant and regenerate, and whether the project 
would increase the pond’s depth. Mr. Gill explained that neither hydro-raking nor 
full dredging would guarantee eradication of all lotus seeds and that staff would 
continue monitoring and removing new growth. He clarified that hydro-raking is 
more extensive than the mechanical harvesting previously used and would remove 
sediment and root material, while maintaining the pond’s current average depth of 
approximately four to six feet.
Councilor Foote also asked about chemical treatment as an alternative. Mr. Gill 
explained that chemical treatment had been attempted approximately 10-12 years 
ago but was not well received by the community. Mr. Beck added that treating the 
plants chemically would leave decomposing material in the pond, potentially 
contributing to algae blooms, whereas removing the plant material would reduce 
that risk.
Discussion also addressed potential odors from dewatering the removed plant 
material. Mr. Gill acknowledged that some odor would be expected and said the 
work would ideally occur in late September, when temperatures are cooler. He also 
clarified that previous work at the pond involved mechanical removal with a 
backhoe rather than hydro-raking.
Councilor Kretovic moved to authorize staff to hydro-rake the pond at White Park.  
The motion was duly seconded by Councilor Grady Sexton. The motion passed 
with one dissenting vote.
35.
Report from the UNH Sustainability Fellow on the Citywide Tree Canopy 
Assessment.
Action: Director of Special Projects & Strategic Initiatives Beth Fenstermacher 
welcomed UNH Sustainability Fellow Danielle Melius to present. 
The Council received a presentation from Danielle Melius on the Citywide Tree 
Canopy Assessment, a project developed in response to recommendations from 
the City’s previous greenhouse gas emissions work. The assessment found that 
approximately 60% of Concord is covered by tree canopy, representing roughly 
30,000 acres. Approximately 35% of the canopy is located on public land, with the 
majority on private property. The assessment also documented an overall decline in

Meeting Minutes - Draft
tree canopy since 1985 and examined the environmental benefits of trees, including 
reduced flooding and urban heat, improved air quality, noise reduction, and 
increased wildlife connectivity. Using these factors, the project identified areas 
where future tree planting could provide the greatest benefits and developed 
priorities at the ward level.
Ms. Melius also presented an interactive dashboard that allows residents, City staff, 
and others to explore current and historic tree canopy, canopy loss and gain, 
potential planting areas, urban heat, and ward-specific priorities. The assessment 
estimated that Concord’s tree canopy provides approximately $18.4 million in 
annual benefits. The dashboard and underlying data are intended to serve as 
resources for future tree-planting initiatives, public education, and more detailed 
field-based assessments. The presentation emphasized the importance of private 
property owners in expanding tree canopy, as well as the benefits of planting native 
and pollinator-supporting species. Future work could further refine the data, 
identify appropriate tree sizes and planting locations, and support strategic planting 
efforts throughout the City.
The Council expressed strong appreciation for the presentation and the potential 
value of the tree canopy dashboard as a resource for the City. Ms. Melius 
explained that the dashboard and methodology were designed to be improved and 
expanded by future sustainability fellows, forestry staff, and others. The 
methodology will also allow other municipalities and property owners to conduct 
similar tree canopy mapping using available online tools and resources.
Ms. Fenstermacher confirmed that the dashboard and associated research will be 
made available through the City’s website, with coordination underway with the 
Acting GIS Coordinator to transfer the data into the City’s system. The project is 
currently referenced through the City’s trees webpage and will also be shared with 
other communities participating in the New England sustainability network so that 
the methodology can be replicated. Councilors praised the project’s ward-level 
information, noting its usefulness for identifying priority areas and supporting 
future public engagement and education regarding tree planting and canopy 
benefits.
Councilors noted the value of the work completed through the UNH Sustainability 
Fellowship and emphasized that the City’s relatively small investment has produced 
significant benefits and a valuable product for the community. Director

Fenstermacher noted that the fellowship had cost the City $4,000 annually for the 
previous five years, but that UNH has since changed the structure of the program, 
increasing the cost to approximately $12,000 beginning last year. Additional 
funding was secured to support the fellowship for the current year, and staff has 
begun exploring potential sponsorship opportunities with other organizations to 
help fund future fellows.
Councilor Horne moved to accept the report.  The motion was duly seconded by 
Councilor Todd and passed unanimously. 
Ms. Fenstermacher also noted that the tree canopy dashboard underwent a color 
accessibility review, including testing for color blindness, to ensure that the 
presentation and data visualization meet accessibility requirements.

22.
Report from Beaver Meadow Director of Operations recommending approval of 
the proposed 2027 Beaver Meadow Golf course rate structures as recommended 
by the Golf Course Advisory Committee at their July 9, 2026 meeting. (Pulled from 
consent by Councilor Kretovic and Councilor Brown.)
Action: Councilor Kretovic moved approval of the report. The motion was duly 
seconded by Councilor Todd.
Councilor Kretovic discussed the proposed Beaver Meadow Golf Course rate 
structure for the 2027-2028 season, which is expected to generate approximately 
$91,000 in additional revenue. She noted that revenue over expenses had increased 
substantially from approximately $124,000 in FY2025 and stated that the proposed 
rates would remain competitive with area courses while maintaining opportunities 
for junior golfers. Most season pass increases would be approximately 2%-3%, 
while the junior season pass would remain at $450. She highlighted the Bank of 
America Youth on Course program, which allows eligible youth to play nine holes 
for $5 with the remaining cost being subsidized, as a successful effort to increase 
youth participation. She also noted other sources of Golf Fund revenue, including 
driving range fees, cart rentals, simulator and winter rentals, and tournaments.
Councilor Brown expressed concern that the proposed rates would not sufficiently 
reduce the Golf Fund’s reliance on taxpayers, noting approximately $764,000 in 
current annual debt service for golf-related capital projects. She also raised 
concerns regarding discounted and complimentary rounds and requested greater 
consideration of their financial impact and return on investment.
Councilor Horne asked why golf cart rates were not increasing. Acting City 
Manager LeBrun explained that rates had been increased substantially the prior year 
due to higher cart lease costs and that staff, in consultation with the Golf Advisory 
Committee, recommended holding the rate steady for the current year and 
reassessing it in the future.
The motion passed with one dissenting vote.

the Grants and Donations Fund, and rescinding the acceptance of $434,334.50, in 
various Community Development Grant and Grants and Donations Funds, to 
include $8,725.82, in the Community Development Block Grant Fund and 
$425,608.68, in the Grants and Donation fund, retroactive to June 30, 2026; 
together with a report from the Assistant Finance Director. (Pulled from consent by 
Councilor Brown.)
Action: Councilor Kretovic moved approval of the resolution.  The motion was 
duly seconded by Councilor Schultz.
Councilor Brown questioned why certain long-outstanding grant authorizations had 
not been closed during the prior year’s cleanup. Acting City Manager LeBrun 
explained that some could have been closed previously, but staff worked this year 
to address the remaining authorizations for which there was no expectation of 
additional spending or revenue. He emphasized that the closeouts do not represent 
a loss of available funds, but rather the removal of unused authorizations from the 
City’s books.
Councilor Brown asked whether any outstanding grants beyond 2026 would remain 
following the cleanup. Acting City Manager LeBrun stated that grants will continue 
to be reviewed annually, similar to the City’s longstanding capital closeout process, 
and that additional obsolete authorizations will be brought forward for Council 
action as appropriate. Mayor Champlin clarified that most of the grants are 
reimbursement-based, meaning the City spends the funds and is subsequently 
reimbursed by the grantor; unused balances therefore generally do not represent 
cash held by the City. In some cases, remaining funds are available to be 
transferred to the revolving loan fund for housing purposes and short-term or 
lower-interest loans.
The motion passed with no dissenting votes.
