The Rochester City Council convened on December 17, 2024, with Mayor Callahan presiding over the meeting. The session began with a roll call, confirming the presence of all council members except Deputy Mayor Hammond, who was excused, establishing a quorum for the meeting.

Following the roll call, the council moved into a non-public session to discuss matters related to land under RSA 91-A:3 II (d) and to consult with legal counsel as permitted under RSA 91-A:2 (b). A motion to enter this non-public session was made and seconded, followed by a roll call vote. All present councilors voted in favor of the motion, allowing the council to proceed with the discussions.

The meeting's focus on legal and land matters indicates ongoing considerations that may impact the city's development and governance. Further details on the outcomes of these discussions were not disclosed in the public portion of the meeting.

As the council continues to address these critical issues, the next steps and any resulting actions will likely be communicated in future meetings.
