The board approved a motion to add a resident program specialist position and a resident program assistant (effective Aug. 24, 2025) after staff told commissioners both job descriptions had been vetted with legal counsel. The senior director of human resources recommended the hires; staff said they had coordinated with departments and counsel before presenting the items.
The board also voted to amend the wage adjustment previously approved April 24 to reflect a corrected percentage increase for corrections personnel of 12.36%. The motion to amend was presented by the senior director and passed by recorded vote.
Finally, the board approved an exception request (7‑11) to permit overtime for a Department of Corrections position (investigation and safety compliance coordinator). Staff explained the role is outside the union and therefore requires an annual exception to permit overtime for the position. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the need for the exception and were told the procedure is a recurring, yearly administrative step.
The human resources items were approved during the public session; motions passed by recorded votes as noted in the meeting minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners Meeting 07/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved two long‑term care job descriptions, amended a previously approved corrections wage adjustment to 12.36%, and approved an overtime exception under policy 7‑11 for a Department of Corrections position.","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},6154007,"Finance director: Munis closing for FY25; auditors due the week of Aug. 4",38,1314000,1352000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5489043-6c3d1135eb6876cd76e83e35cdde0667&start=1314&end=1352","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5489043-6c3d1135eb6876cd76e83e35cdde0667/thumbnail_1314000.jpg","/articles/6154007/Rockingham-County/New-Hampshire/Finance-director-Munis-closing-for-FY25-auditors-due-the-week-of-Aug-4","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154007-cf7bbd241a1b6ce9c1ec473f100ffbd2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170563&Signature=TRGsiRg9kv6mrewGoARgAaJtfbsI6K-Ne6qQf1bNKUfZhi4mObIfDvt70DVLGcxo5VLvwpXNrJR8EBJzNcG5SxMUMbyrLH5mTdwV5kWIu9W0TkmHvRXsj8C94EibFil704p~tWSl~WQqVAGtKsd5xoJGrXMnvTHpG7kT76GH5xVmM75H6OD~7d2ko-ux22Wtr2Oi-28dlGg1IJEDwfJFAVLmEqbcPKPXyrkoa6EtR-xwxtAlrvumtoEhvA~8iTJYdgfPMQdM2xVMM9bVs~TvA~64kCDkXKUiGms0mQ5hdW0SGf8XRCWpGjBnJYqg9fgj~~6fXVMfFeX-utssEUhcrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The finance director told the Board of Commissioners on July 24 that Munis — the county’s financial system — will be closed so staff can complete the FY25 close and open FY26. The director said the system closure may make Munis inaccessible for a full day while staff finalize encumbrances and year‑end entries.
The finance director thanked departments for submitting encumbrances on time and said county staff have been efficient in preparing close materials. She also told the board that external auditors are scheduled to be on site the week of Aug. 4 and that departments should expect possible site visits or questions from the audit team.
The board heard appreciation for finance staff; one commissioner noted the department’s efficiency in closing the year within a month of the fiscal year end. No formal action was taken; the update was informational and tied to routine year‑end procedures.","The finance director told the Board of Commissioners the Munis financial system will be closed to finalize FY25 and that external auditors will be onsite the week of Aug. 4.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6154011,"Board approves multiple IT, network and equipment contracts totaling roughly $1.0 million and clears two accounts‑payable lists",319,155000,474000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5489043-6c3d1135eb6876cd76e83e35cdde0667&start=155&end=474","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5489043-6c3d1135eb6876cd76e83e35cdde0667/thumbnail_155000.jpg","/articles/6154011/Rockingham-County/New-Hampshire/Board-approves-multiple-IT-network-and-equipment-contracts-totaling-roughly-10-million-and-clears-two-accountspayable-lists","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154011-d437e9dd486867c35d1c2e577fd21bbd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170563&Signature=iTmiPdKD81I9pb7F4YKy4b6Xiivmqr-FZhbh1E~fW3iz7LpnT5wp2xg-ebqneZJXnhMLsbBWO7A2fEjzJW0VBy8-W4cS4kC9SZHV~u1AQE-2N6Tnb~~~PIVpdnPZONc5qHQ4Lfy4U-QnbmZQxNmiGcqlROLpzjfUiXYnFUmlKy9HbAZb5WLY46JzPsnJLZgHJ9KhPsQ4ghAw2wTFGHKKpN3eChD4D12qULsDdPR3-NZ9LtormBGdTvRJUoVmZ4a-u-H6CHoAcX4~GuKPTzp9PM9HoWOyJAd1ee3ENAs7dbt~2~9tX4DoN54fdPcD2VYW0Gb825v9O6HfMzo9Nxn7lA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Commissioners approved a package of vendor awards and two accounts‑payable lists at its July 24 meeting, moving forward with network, server and equipment purchases and routine operating payments.
During the meeting the board voted to award the following procurements as recommended by the senior director of facilities and IT and the IT director: Forticare — $139,467.56 for block‑5 services; Office 365 subscriptions to SI RFC/Software Information Resource — $85,653.47; Aruba network switching (Block 5 Technologies) — $401,195.94; VMware licensing to Acilient — $31,711.68; Dell servers to Block 5 Technologies — not to exceed $50,160; Fortinet equipment — $155,496; Netgear equipment — not to exceed $9,409.02; and a TrueNAS storage appliance to Block 5 Technologies — $129,576.26. In each case staff told the board several lower bids failed to meet specifications or warranty requirements.
The board also approved fiscal paperwork: an FY25 accounts‑payable list totaling $1,260,324.92 and an FY26 accounts‑payable list totaling $631,417.67. The finance director told the board FY25 is being closed out and departments had timely submitted encumbrances.
In addition, the board approved awards for the sheriff’s office: FY26 uniforms and equipment to Neptune — not to exceed $43,944; and concealable/tactical body armor to DCF Investigative Services LLC — not to exceed $18,470. Staff said Neptune has been the vendor for four years and stocks patches and measurement services for new hires.
Board members asked staff to confirm specification compliance where the recommended vendor was not the lowest bidder. Staff responded that lower bidders either did not bid on required items or did not meet warranty/specification standards, and that continuity with existing suppliers was a factor in some awards.
The awards and accounts‑payable approvals were presented and approved during the public session; each motion passed with board votes recorded as affirmative in the meeting minutes.","At its July 24 meeting the Board of Commissioners approved a series of awards for IT and facilities equipment, uniforms and body armor and approved accounts‑payable lists for FY25 and FY26.",{"_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},6154016,"County facilities staff report successful emergency power switch and breaker replacement after outage",246,986000,1232000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5489043-6c3d1135eb6876cd76e83e35cdde0667&start=986&end=1232","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5489043-6c3d1135eb6876cd76e83e35cdde0667/thumbnail_986000.jpg","/articles/6154016/Rockingham-County/New-Hampshire/County-facilities-staff-report-successful-emergency-power-switch-and-breaker-replacement-after-outage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154016-9833142b11720f91f33080e0b85dd141/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170563&Signature=Vu~1QaZDY8mxy2SbgzSjwCYLaTbRKVeRoqRL7A7b8iujr1GcYg8~WgroPEfcoVdpqz1WtuZq-8KXUNN2gMTSFWeU06DrBmA86MmbL8BOleFBo7zsKIT4TdN8krjFz3-~xuZyaluQwTZ-pbbSPv1uGx2mQVlzoDRciHPHEzcXcn2Y59ySfqye3zQ74FIjEjzLJjWiqB5Ab6Z-59zPjJ-OrSbWhXjQ56HxUtCaRkBiqqL~MrTWFJCSidTo1Of1zA3DtBS6N11lhUvuluF3Ccyi0qXThQxpd1UekucI-KTXjzH0JsRzyA16ncdDfWT57ZFXNRpmcd3dm4uicZmlcQj7dA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County facilities staff told the Board of Commissioners on July 24 that a planned breaker replacement and related outage last week was completed early and that teams used the event to identify gaps in emergency power coverage.
The facilities director said crews completed a “major 2,000‑amp breaker change out” and restored power earlier than expected. The director said teams “were able to learn a lot about the facility” while power was off and that staff compiled notes on items that were not covered by emergency circuits.
The board heard that staff found several systems that did not transfer to generator power during the outage: a return fan on a roof (the supply fan continued to run) and at least one refrigerator that was not on an emergency circuit. The facilities director said teams and affected departments toured closed units during the outage to log what equipment was—and was not—on emergency power so adjustments can be made before the next major outage.
Board members and department heads praised the coordination. The facilities director said teams from multiple departments were “in constant communication” during the outage and that the work was “a learning experience.” The director also noted that temporary cables and the size of the replacement breaker made the work challenging.
The board requested follow‑up work: moving critical appliances to emergency circuits where feasible and tightening circuits for certain HVAC/dishwasher components that were affected. Staff said they will debrief and compile a list of items to shift to the emergency sector and provide that information to commissioners.
No formal motion or vote was associated with the facilities update; it was presented as a department head report during the public session.
The presentation also referenced broader continuity and training benefits; staff said the drill‑like conditions highlighted strengths in interdepartmental coordination and identified a few specific corrective actions that staff will pursue.
The facilities director and other department staff made the report during the department head updates portion of the July 24 meeting of the Board of Commissioners.","County facilities staff told the Board of Commissioners they completed a large breaker replacement and emergency power transfer during a recent outage, identified several noncritical systems not on emergency circuits and said they are compiling changes to improve future outages.","actionData","errors"]
