The Manchester Board of Mayor & Aldermen voted to strike references to a "diversity and inclusion committee" from sections 32.025 through 32.035 of the city code relating to the arts commission. The motion to remove the references was approved unanimously at the meeting.
City officials said the ordinance amendment repeals and replaces sections 32.025–32.035 to remove the committee reference; staff will renumber ordinance sections as needed after the deletions. The motion was recorded as approved by Alderman Levasseur and seconded by Alderman Berry; the board then confirmed the ayes.
