\"It was a temporary catastrophe, but it looks like we're gonna be fine,\" a facilities official said, adding that Harvey Construction staff responded immediately, brought an electrical contractor, and ordered wire to restore automatic operation.

Facilities staff also reported initial pricing to repair a 50-year-old breaker at the nursing home of about $36,000, with a full repair including a temporary generator likely approaching $50,000. The staff member said the switchboard and breakers have not been exercised regularly and that a new NFPA update is increasing inspection and exercise requirements; the county will seek final pricing and may pursue delegation contingency funds to cover unbudgeted repairs.

In the long-term care update, nursing-home leadership said the nursing home (32 beds) and assisted living (48 beds) remained in outbreak status with two residents testing positive for COVID-19; staff reported no positive staff cases and one staff influenza case. The nursing home planned a mock survey at month-end to prepare for a formal survey and said it is exploring an internal psychiatry partnership to reduce transports and improve care.

Commissioners thanked facilities and Harvey Construction staff for the rapid response to the well outage and directed staff to continue cost-tracking and to seek contingency funding paths as needed.

No formal expenditure or transfer specific to these repairs was approved at the meeting; staff indicated they would return with further pricing and recommendations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners Meeting 03/13/2025","oneSentenceSummary","County facilities staff reported a temporary outage at Well House 3 after utility work severed wiring and said contractor and county crews restored manual operation while ordering repairs; they also flagged a likely $36,000 breaker replacement at the nursing home and a possible $50,000 total expense with a temporary generator.","taxTitle","Rockingham County, New Hampshire","taxId",54226,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6281284,"Commissioners debate inviting ICE to present about housing detainees at county jail",178,1903000,2081000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2607286-4daf6bbfcd7efd35a632c6008dc29cef&start=1903&end=2081","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2607286-4daf6bbfcd7efd35a632c6008dc29cef/thumbnail_1903000.jpg","/articles/6281284/Rockingham-County/New-Hampshire/Commissioners-debate-inviting-ICE-to-present-about-housing-detainees-at-county-jail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6281284-c22d4bcccd44bb8a3912326200939c51/orig.mp4?Expires=1773786154&Signature=lT2LTiSVqCtHGo7m7q8dOzZESkUN3nz5jvB73nacdm1iLddSeGyyzxnltgxMNd9sLcIFU9K~lvdZSWJci8YZCqZonKjreZ~Lg9EHwASO04tUgv0Vuy2PM9RetZH1B5EqFtb1YySV9ymuphq-si~IfDqRbm8zbBF-Domwo8SuMcfa-wZASjXBARtygQoc49mLCM4paRA32jY8OWsrZTEbDvxPxmFAc0lvF8N9SnV1rJpIgjnLJ~DhWED3rf9YqVN1fqWWKpmS9e9xpX0COACFJLVOOsrCNOHZBpV9umvVVsezaU0cj4s~AcmSpJgvA4vO~-vf49Nhqgg-LH7B3xYzHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners debated whether to invite U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the county for a presentation about housing ICE detainees during the March 13 meeting.

One commissioner said constituents and a former elected official had asked the board to examine ICE arrangements and suggested the agency be invited to lay out its request. \"I would request that we at least allow them to come in,\" the commissioner said, adding that they were not advocating for a decision but wanted the agency to present information so the board could do due diligence.

Other commissioners and county officials raised operational concerns. A commissioner said she did not see a county benefit to housing ICE detainees, noting staffing challenges and the county’s current focus on opening a new corrections building and on programming for substance-use treatment. Superintendent Jason Henry (referred to in the meeting as Superintendent Henry) and corrections leadership said the county is concentrating on bringing the new facility online and training staff; they expressed concern that taking on ICE detainees could strain staffing and compliance resources during that transition.

Several commissioners nonetheless said they were open to hearing ICE’s presentation before making any decision. One commissioner explicitly said she would support inviting ICE to come and explain its request, while another suggested the matter remain on hold for a year but that a presentation would still be appropriate.

No formal motion to invite ICE was recorded; the matter was discussed as new business and commissioners left open the option to invite ICE for an informational presentation. Board members emphasized they had not made a policy decision and that any final determination would have to consider staffing, compliance, and the county’s programmatic priorities.","Commissioners discussed whether to invite U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to present about placing detainees in the Rockingham County jail.

\"I've got two issues with this warrant,\" Commissioner Badu said, pointing to an application-for-payment for S L Chase Welding and Fabrication for $97,000 that he could not find in the payout list. He also said the warrant included $48,470.79 in expenses for which the county packet did not include receipts. \"I cannot support this because of these missing documents,\" Badu said.

County staff responded in the meeting that some site items, such as porta-potty drops, had been observed on-site and that Harvey Construction is contractually required to retain documents for five years and to provide monthly progress reports. A staff member said pulling the documents together would be time-consuming but that staff would follow up. The finance director said the project is on schedule relative to the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) and that the bond had been drawn against lost revenue in one line of discussion.

Despite the concerns, the board approved the warrant. The approval included direction from commissioners that finance and facilities staff locate and present the missing receipts and the application-for-payment noted by Commissioner Badu.

Clarifying details cited during the discussion included the claimed $97,000 missing application-for-payment for S L Chase Welding and Fabrication and the $48,470.79 in warrant items lacking receipts. Staff said Harvey Construction maintains required records and that the lack of receipts in the packet does not necessarily mean the items were not invoiced or paid; staff committed to providing the missing documentation and progress reporting to the board.","Commissioner Badu said the Harvey Construction warrant included a missing application-for-payment for $97,000 and about $48,470.79 of charges lacked receipts; county staff said they would investigate and provide documentation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6281294,"Rockingham County commissioners approve routine contracts, payroll and reimbursements",550,210000,760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2607286-4daf6bbfcd7efd35a632c6008dc29cef&start=210&end=760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2607286-4daf6bbfcd7efd35a632c6008dc29cef/thumbnail_210000.jpg","/articles/6281294/Rockingham-County/New-Hampshire/Rockingham-County-commissioners-approve-routine-contracts-payroll-and-reimbursements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6281294-8ee4da1e8658fc0d9d422a9a235e0e56/orig.mp4?Expires=1773786154&Signature=h1Ta1ARcNwcPfefZF1n2PXz2MsJ2gc65xVCOe3cQz2X1qLv9qcPPcM624M2x1FvXIZQ4lR5uxi4g6VGsLuFTi09xB4W7fZImNiXkIYWDJrehJsb4n2BoW30~RRYLmlIT5HusYfxEs40DJqp3k~jRkmUXiMqh5CoevPuwsQDajSUTvK3-T~HQAwsX6loLQUhJVwzTXMpSk2odKCJB7weywM68PnpA1h-hO~KGAgGNMbXup-isdQZ0FNInKxY-a-BtuN6fxUpL4EDQOrfRzGr9rGabIsHTtxxnI2~GZZlNGu6zRcKxyeYikrgU32M9HYbK9O5KnjgrHtoJof1f91a1kw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a slate of routine items during its March 13 meeting, voting to authorize facilities reviews for grease trap and lift-station services, approve surplus equipment under New Hampshire RSA 28 8 a, and accept payroll and several reimbursements and line-item transfers.

The actions included approval of payroll expenses totaling $1,501,098.67 for the pay period ending March 8, 2025, and an accounts-payable warrant that included a Harvey Construction pay application listed at $3,562,464.03. Commissioners also approved a $4,769.90 amended reimbursement to Lamprey Healthcare Inc., several wellness-event expenditures (one capped at $800), and multiple small line-item transfers for long-term care services and the sheriff's office.

Board members said most items were noncontroversial. On the payroll motion, Commissioner Gadeau and Commissioner Tom Rallo were recorded voting yes; the meeting chair also recorded a yes vote. The warrant that included the Harvey Construction payment prompted questions from Commissioner Badu about a missing application-for-payment for S L Chase Welding and Fabrication and about approximately $48,470.79 in charges for which the board did not have receipts; county staff said they would follow up. Despite those concerns, the warrant passed.

The board approved declaring multiple county laptops and desktop PCs surplus pursuant to New Hampshire RSA 28 8 a and authorized facility staff to review and evaluate proposals for fuel services and fire-sprinkler testing. Commissioners also approved two wellness events organized by the county’s human-resources office and several housekeeping budget transfers recommended by department heads.

The meeting closed regular business and later entered nonpublic session under a state personnel provision; minutes from the nonpublic session were retained confidentially.","The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners on March 13 approved a package of routine items including facilities service authorizations, surplus equipment, payroll of $1,501,098.67 and multiple reimbursements and line-item transfers; a $3.56 million Harvey Construction pay application drew questions but was approved.","actionData","errors"]
