The Saco City Council meeting was held October 26, 2026. The council approved the first reading of amendments to the Chapter 176 sewer ordinance, with six votes in favor, and scheduled a public hearing for November 9. Discussion included how an additional sewer impact fee would apply to current and future users, and a request to clarify whether property or business owners are responsible for installing a fog-removal device; staff agreed to consider revised language. The council also considered a first reading of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) housing assistance program for a planned seven-unit affordable housing project at 12 School Street. The state has awarded the city $250,000 for the project, and a public hearing was proposed for November 9; the transcript does not capture a vote on this item.

Under new business, staff reported that the city’s application to assist the Blue Haven mobile home park resident cooperative with a potential purchase was successful, making up to $500,000 available to apply for. No spending approval or purchase decision was recorded; staff will clarify grant conditions, potential city costs, and the applicability of Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements. The council also reviewed housekeeping amendments to building-construction and electrical-standard ordinances, which will return through the approval process. No contract awards or vendor selections were identified.
