Speaker 1 asked about an absent member identified as Mike and said they had reached out asking him to confirm whether he would continue serving or vacate the seat; Speaker 1 said they had not heard back in two weeks and would check whether the city's ordinance on missed meetings applied. \"I did reach out. Did I copy you? I think I don't remember. Probably. I reached out to him and asked him if he was going to continue and if not, to at least, you know, vacate the seats so that we could put someone else in there,\" Speaker 1 said.

Commissioners discussed a community open forum intended for March (originally March 3). The meeting noted the library room was double-booked and commissioners debated moving the date versus finding another location; Speaker 3 suggested keeping the same Monday but perhaps moving a week later and addressing scheduling at a future meeting.

Members also received a brief update on an artist-led food project. Speaker 2 said funding for the food project (named Chantal Lee in the transcript) was approved and the invoice has been paid; Speaker 2 said the artist had begun interviews with SNHU and the school district and that media outreach and a press release had been prepared: \"Her funding was approved ... I connected her with, the school district and some other players ... the invoice was paid, so we paid that money already,\" Speaker 2 said.

Near the end of the transcript Speaker 1 asked for a motion to adjourn; a motion and second were called for but no vote tally or explicit outcome appears in the recorded lines.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Arts Commission 02/10/25 ","oneSentenceSummary","Commission recorded a motion to accept January minutes, discussed a possibly vacant seat after an absent member, planned to reschedule a March community open forum, and received an update that artist Chantal Lee's funded food project has progressed with interviews and paid invoice.","taxTitle","Manchester City Commissions, Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire","taxId",75999,"location","New Hampshire","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107674,"Commission hears that $5,000 Commercial Street mural allocation is held at committee over ordinance language",55,1037000,1092000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772901-70ac0d42d76c65adead8ea8050b05c10&start=1037&end=1092","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772901-70ac0d42d76c65adead8ea8050b05c10/thumbnail_1037000.jpg","/articles/6107674/New-Hampshire/Commission-hears-that-5000-Commercial-Street-mural-allocation-is-held-at-committee-over-ordinance-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107674-191c98259dc556f8c2dcec15631e9bc8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771049991&Signature=pAfR-N69h-757mXbjx10BkVmvuTMr~705dq-CWCmEoBJvFQQ0rKS4qRi2jCxwmBJqL8DApBkcnCD1Nc5liQnC1qJURYLcf99XyV1zsZk692WkWsxNaCZgJ8ytAHg0ARX95OWkGMBEezNOBUiwEmGNifGp5k3yS3s-tLSZfbGvkEPt9TPx4OoOZoETEybV3Kf1E5lJBdnIVbwPnDozArubvEN-qEZZOcGesQCqBDm1VMrZVJlvLPsBCya1jO2MMW8NPBf5r-DcfnFuum29N13DbyRglg1hKEVZrOViYKBwq5DMc4iUbM017yCTspO9jbvAlFOTAhtJwiYu6HtiaGeWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commission members reported that $5,000 has been allocated for a Commercial Street mural but that the grant or expenditure has been delayed after the Board of Mayor and Aldermen returned the item to committee because of ordinance language that referenced diversity, equity and inclusion.

Speaker 1 said, \"Everybody said the $5,000 has already been allocated,\" and described the procedural path: the item went to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and was pushed back to committee. Speaker 2 added that language addressing DEI had been removed from the ordinance and that the mayor encouraged removing that language to speed approval: \"The mayor, called me and just said, hey. I think it's this is gonna get held up because of this language... I just will yank every Yeah. Every reference.\"

Speaker 2 said the commission's intent is to be inclusive of all artists and that removing the phrasing would allow the committee to move the item forward. \"We are going to be inclusive of all artists and, everybody we wanna have as many opportunities for artists as possible in Manchester,\" Speaker 2 said.

Commissioners did not record any final committee decision in the transcript. They said they expect the committee review to occur before the item returns to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.","Commissioners said $5,000 earmarked for a Commercial Street mural has been allocated but was diverted from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to committee after proposed ordinance language referencing DEI prompted delays.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107679,"Commission presses for group permit to waive per-artist peddlers fee at Stark Park concerts",141,693000,834000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772901-70ac0d42d76c65adead8ea8050b05c10&start=693&end=834","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772901-70ac0d42d76c65adead8ea8050b05c10/thumbnail_693000.jpg","/articles/6107679/New-Hampshire/Commission-presses-for-group-permit-to-waive-per-artist-peddlers-fee-at-Stark-Park-concerts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107679-31a7fecaeda4c7f4d5f386f84bc7c18e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771049991&Signature=Yn6iSBXfezeqMY5AX7SP9TliTINPipdX51Nq-D7D72p4cPzDIYNhzzCwfYa1l12LzhN3gyfoBXf28eniHheBnvXuBQVFcFoXNH52UEOvB-QAND1mV4zUrcfu0YH4AkoVtkf548XIITNwfq8t5ObB7~NX9yupWGJLGfIEb6zMGihtPvVoVneZ3AAGeNDyGwwxItgInka1gS2pdNQSzu7Dnl0vKPTnogDpIKKd9oq6qSBPG3bJUK3XLrO~fk-z0PNa~-bMpnh7nnJ5XTWqomymTkF0Abr-IsfmgCmHVsWawafxawnmoMV7P57YPX1nzz-Nu5poELB8LZjtVa7XuvDdsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members discussed plans to allow local artists to set up booths at the Friends of Stark Park summer concert series and asked staff to pursue a group permit to avoid charging each artist an individual peddlers fee.

Speaker 3 described a Parks and Recreation requirement for a peddler's permit and said, \"they wanted the peddlers fee of, like, a hundred and $25 per spot.\" Commissioners and local artists argued that charging each artist separately would be prohibitive and discussed asking the mayor to seek a single permit for the group. \"If we could do a group fee and we had 6 people to split a hundred $20 or whatever it is 6 ways, no big deal,\" Speaker 2 said when describing how a group permit would reduce costs.

The commission discussed logistics including booth size, shared tents and the number of performance slots at Stark Park: the summer series runs Sundays and offers a limited number of slots (Speaker 3 estimated \"8, maybe 10 performances\"). Commissioners said exhibitors would need to provide their own tents unless the commission can fund equipment. Speaker 2 and Speaker 1 discussed using a single permit for the exhibit so individual artists would not each be charged.

No final decision or formal vote was recorded in the transcript. Commissioners said they would follow up with the mayor's office and Parks and Recreation staff to request a single-permit option for multiple artists and to clarify whether the city would provide tents or simply permit artists to share booths.","Commission members discussed arranging artist pop-ups at the Friends of Stark Park summer concert series and urged city staff to pursue a group permit so artists would not each pay an individual peddlers fee.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107685,"Commission discusses skate park design, murals and public art for upcoming park project",46,127000,173000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772901-70ac0d42d76c65adead8ea8050b05c10&start=127&end=173","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772901-70ac0d42d76c65adead8ea8050b05c10/thumbnail_127000.jpg","/articles/6107685/New-Hampshire/Commission-discusses-skate-park-design-murals-and-public-art-for-upcoming-park-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107685-346859643a431caf921aba55814829c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771049991&Signature=G0TNo7FDV0X~3wGoUv2qjYHSlbyhoqzPY-T038ZTGSrYjt69MuRoVrlcIfVO06nXH3X-9F9hlnENXTO3MW7uDmUysYmy5yx9Z-wEIRDt1exxjQGiZD9JuNr8l-YZxSQSu4onyz5ZHRIYqSRzxWBOd7qmDJNe8~uvnrmBiHKMKHXAr2npcvHxJdlQXptWrtyfevYFIRh6WJ7yAZr3tDJVntwCpey7xAdk-6qRhR42fwhKN2yOAtWgB1NTnQbVkSODyS6MMzP2xQ6htMjNtYE7XeVmZZT1Y86VEX6PlOtv2hbdbSKXmHrpGRSbkR21ipHFKYMu9wyFYMf8dibZiV9Ymg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Manchester City Commissions discussed the planned park and skateboard area, including design details, opportunities for murals and other public art, and who would pay for artistic elements.

The most immediate update came from Speaker 3, a commission member, who said the skate-park design is largely in place and that the commission previously heard from the skateboard designer: \"We have the design. Oh, okay. And we've contacted, the last meeting, we had the skateboard, designer on,\" Speaker 3 said. Speaker 1, a commission member, asked whether a construction timeline had been set; Speaker 3 answered that the project is not at the construction stage yet.

The commission discussed how art on the skate park would be handled. Speaker 3 said designers plan to designate areas that can accept a special coating so murals can be painted and maintained: \"The designer said that they would make sure that as part of the plans, that that certain areas would be designated, to have a type of coating on top,\" Speaker 3 said. Commissioners agreed the city would not pay for the skate-park mural budget directly; Speaker 3 stated that funds for painting the skate park area would come from the skate-park project budget or partner organizations rather than the Commissions' art fund.

Members also suggested interactive elements for the park — musical sculptures and other installations geared toward adults and children — and discussed local examples of public art that informed the conversation. Speaker 3 referenced a locally beloved kinetic sculpture rebuilt with private support: \"Brady Sullivan, they paid to have that rebuilt,\" Speaker 3 said when describing a moving sculpture near the mill yard.

No formal votes or funding approvals were recorded in the transcript for the skate-park construction schedule or for commissioning individual artworks. Commissioners requested further updates on timeline and budget allocation at future meetings.","Members discussed a largely settled skate-park design, opportunities for murals and public art, and possible locations for interactive sculptures; no construction timeline or formal funding commitments were recorded.","actionData","errors"]
