Strafford County commissioners approve minutes, vote to enter non-public session over personnel and contract matters

The Strafford County commissioners met Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. and approved minutes from the Feb. 20 and March 4 meetings before voting to move into a non-public session to discuss personnel matters and contract negotiations.

The chair called for approval of the two sets of minutes; a motion to approve was made by a commissioner identified in the transcript as “commission 11” and was seconded (the seconder was not named in the record). No amendments were proposed, and the motion passed unanimously.

The commission then moved to the next agenda item: a motion to enter a non-public session “for the purpose of discussing personnel issues and contract negotiations pursuant to RSA 91 A32,” according to the transcript. Commissioner Feliciano moved the motion and Commissioner Levit seconded. The chair conducted a roll call; Commissioner Feliciano, Commissioner Levit and the chair each recorded a “yes” vote, after which the commission moved into non-public session by a unanimous vote.

The transcript ends after the roll call and the recorded motion; no further public deliberations or votes are captured in the provided record. The non-public session was taken under the cited RSA provision, and the transcript lists the stated purposes as personnel issues and contract negotiations. The minutes approval and the move to non-public session are recorded as formal actions in the meeting.
