2026-04-23 Strafford County Commissioners Meeting

The Strafford County Commissioners held a meeting on April 23, 2026, where they approved the minutes from the previous meeting and proclaimed May as ALS Awareness Month. A significant procurement-related discussion involved approving a grant extension for the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) to continue funding a contracted clinician through June 2027. The extension was necessary due to delays in securing appropriate office space, which was resolved by partnering with the Rockingham County Child Advocacy Center. The commissioners also discussed ongoing negotiations and grant funding related to a warming center construction project, including a $144,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation. They addressed the timing and coordination of construction and tenant relocations within county facilities, emphasizing the need for future planning to accommodate clinical services and court operations. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter a non-public session to discuss personnel and contract negotiations.
