Rockingham County commissioners moved several administrative actions on May 28, including personnel reappointments, grant action, and capital financing for equipment.
The board reappointed Robert Troy as deputy treasurer under New Hampshire RSA 29:15 on the recommendation of the county treasurer. The reappointment was made by motion and approved without recorded objection.
On grants, commissioners authorized the senior director of finance to apply for a $40,640 Rural Health Transformation Hub grant through the University System of New Hampshire to stand up a 'healthcare academy' aimed at exposing about 20 high‑school students to county healthcare careers and creating a pipeline to LNA apprenticeship opportunities. Separately, the board approved a Moose Plate‑funded contract for archival imaging and book preservation that matched the award quote (~$9,960.80).
On capital spending, the board reviewed and adopted a resolution authorizing a three‑year lease purchase with TD Equipment Finance, Inc. for IT/TV equipment. The resolution set an aggregate not‑to‑exceed principal of approximately $927,137.84 and an annual interest rate of 4.05%, and authorized the chair to execute required documents.
Other administrative approvals included a bid waiver to purchase replacement assisted‑living furniture from Ashley Furniture (~$20,160) to match existing upholstery and a training agreement with MedPathways LLC for therapy certification (fees structured at $200 or $400 per student depending on which party provides hands‑on lab instruction). Commissioners recorded motions on these items and proceeded after discussion.
