# Lincoln County Commissioners Meeting - November 3, 2026

At the November 3, 2026 Lincoln County Commissioners meeting, commissioners approved issuing an RFP to renew a county contract that expires December 31, with staff to add language clarifying how vacancies in the contracted position would be handled. The sheriff received approval to apply for a three-year, no-match DOJ grant of $50,890 for a mobile app and related digital services, and to advertise for two replacement deputy positions. Commissioners also approved a $4,895.37 radio installation by RCM for a new EMA vehicle and authorized signing a Maine Emergency Management LEPC grant contract of approximately $10,400. A vehicle light-and-siren installation was presented at an updated cost of $12,370, but the transcript does not clearly capture a vote on that item.

Other spending-related items included approval of a court-appointed guardian ad litem bill exceeding $4,000 and discussion and apparent approval of a 20-month Volunteer Maine service-fellow initiative; the county’s stated placement fee is $1,800, with mileage and housing support also proposed but not quantified. Commissioners were also asked to approve up to $25,000, including delivery, for two made-to-order recycling containers; the transcript cuts off before the discussion and final vote are recorded. The finance report included a $312,999.75 warrant and payroll of about $291,989. The county also discussed an opioid settlement participation agreement with Albertsons/Shaw, expected to provide about $38,000 over nine years.
