Strafford County commissioners unanimously enter nonpublic session and approve minutes

The Strafford County commissioners convened Thursday, March 12, 2026, approved minutes from Feb. 20 and March 4 and then voted unanimously to move into a nonpublic session to discuss personnel matters and contract negotiations under RSA 91-A.

The commission opened the meeting at 9 a.m. and moved to approve the two sets of minutes; the transcript records a motion and a second but does not specify who made the motion or who seconded it. No amendments were offered and the vote to approve was recorded as unanimous.

On the second agenda item, the chair introduced a motion "to move in a non-public session for the purpose of discussing personnel issues and contract negotiations pursuant to RSA 91 A32." Commissioner Feliciano moved the motion and Commissioner Levit seconded it. The commission then called the roll; Commissioner Feliciano voted yes, Commissioner Levit voted yes, and the chair recorded a yes vote. The commission voted unanimously to enter the nonpublic session.

RSA 91-A is New Hampshire's Right-to-Know Law, and it permits a governing body to meet outside the public when discussing certain personnel and contract matters. The transcript quotes the statutory reference as "RSA 91 A32." The commission did not state any public actions or outcomes from the nonpublic session in the recorded public minutes.

No other substantive public discussion or formal public actions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The meeting proceeded into nonpublic session following the unanimous vote; no subsequent public vote or resolution was recorded in the portion of the transcript provided.
