County officials reviewed reports from recipients of opioid‑settlement funding and heard public comment from one grant partner during the meeting.

Charlene Corbett, who identified herself as executive director of Healthy Kids and a volunteer firefighter in Bremen, thanked the commissioners for supporting Healthy Kids through opioid‑settlement funds and described recent emergency responses. "I am incredibly proud of being a volunteer firefighter in the community," Corbett said, and she praised mutual aid among local fire departments for handling a December propane leak that prompted a 911 call.

County administration summarized grant reporting submitted by MaineHealth, Common Space, Healthy Lincoln County, Studio B and the Lincoln County Recovery Community Center. Administration said Healthy Kids recorded roughly 480 parent class hours for parents in recovery and estimated that the organization "probably touched at least 1,200 lives" in Lincoln County last year through classes, support groups and jail‑based programs. Studio B reported reaching about 3,000 people through 27 events and four exhibitions and working with more than 100 individuals impacted by substance use via art workshops. Party Roots reported reaching 1,000 youth with social‑emotional programming and partnering with 10 county schools.

Administrators said most recipients had used some funds and that the county had allowed an 18‑month spending window for the awards; one recipient’s report remained outstanding and staff said they would follow up. The administration noted that opioid settlement funds are spread over a long term (referenced as a multi‑decade distribution) and that the county plans to earmark some ongoing dollars for a behavioral health liaison position.

Commissioners complimented the collaboration among local nonprofits and asked staff to gather any missing information before preparing the annual report the county will submit to the attorney general.
