Grafton County Commissioners meeting, identified in the title as October 6, 2026 (metadata date October 7). The commissioners approved a 13-week contract for a traveling nurse for Corrections to cover a critical staffing shortage; the contract’s cost was not stated. They also unanimously approved extending the Probation and Parole lease through June 30, 2029. A $250,000 CDBG grant agreement with the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority regional-development organization was introduced, but the available transcript does not capture its disposition.

The commissioners agreed that staff should prepare an RFP for a countywide compensation and pay-equity study, reflecting the delegation’s requested scope. The budget includes $50,000 for the work; the prior study received three quotes, including a $49,750 mid-range proposal, and commissioners noted that inflation may affect whether the amount is sufficient. Other business included planning to recruit for the part-time farm business manager vacancy and internally post the county manager role ahead of the manager’s January 15, 2027 retirement. Farm donations and operating data were being compiled for future budget discussions. IT staff described cybersecurity and network initiatives, including Wi-Fi and equipment upgrades, but no new IT purchase or contract approval was recorded.
