# City Council Meeting- 11/9/26

The City of Concord, New Hampshire City Council met on November 9, 2026. The council approved a $70,589.24 transfer to the OPIO abatement reserve and established a golf-course improvement reserve, totaling $8,300: $3,300 from golf-fund balance and $5,000 in budgeted FY2027 nonresident capital fees. The golf reserve passed by the required two-thirds majority after debate about whether the fees should instead support the general fund or clubhouse costs. The council also approved changing an HR administrative coordinator position from part-time to full-time to support succession planning, and approved an ordinance amendment authorizing civil penalties for violations of the city’s demolition-review process (generally $275 for a first offense and $550 for subsequent offenses). No competitive bids or vendor contract awards were identified.

The council reviewed major facility and capital needs. Staff estimated more than $750,000 in repairs for the West Street warehouse, including substantial roof work, and discussed its limited operating revenue, possible sale, preservation conditions, grant opportunities, and the need for public input; no final disposition is evident in the transcript. For Garrison Pool, staff discussed a proposed $190,000 pool-removal and site-restoration project, and a motion to proceed with demolition was made, but the vote outcome is not captured clearly. The council also approved receiving technical assistance and camera hardware for a street-imaging project, with no appropriation requested, and approved work with nonprofit and public-safety partners on an emergency cooling-center MOU, with no funding request noted.
