Strafford County board approves minutes, votes to enter nonpublic session for personnel and contracts
Summary
The Strafford County board approved earlier meeting minutes unanimously and moved to enter a nonpublic session to discuss personnel and contractor negotiations; roll call was taken and exec session motion was seconded. A public question about a women’s shelter contract was addressed during general business.
The Strafford County Board of Commissioners approved previously completed meeting minutes by voice vote and later moved to enter a nonpublic executive session to discuss personnel and contractor negotiations.
At the start of the meeting the board considered a motion to approve multiple sets of completed minutes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Lovett, and the chair called for the ayes; the board recorded the vote as unanimous.
During general business, a member of the public asked whether the contract for the county’s women’s shelter had been awarded and when. The board said it had concluded executive-session negotiations on the 30th and that contract details had been subject to negotiation; the board indicated no additional delegation approvals were required to complete the award.
Near the end of the publicly recorded proceedings, the chair moved that the board enter a nonpublic session "for personnel and contractor negotiations." The motion was seconded and a roll call was taken: Commissioner Feliciano answered present, Commissioner Lehi answered present; the roll call continued in the transcript but a final recorded vote count was not provided in the public portion of the record.
The board did not take any additional public votes on personnel or contract awards in the recorded portion of the meeting. The executive-session motion and the minutes-approval vote are recorded in the meeting actions.
