Sagadahoc County commissioners approve two hires, ratify support for substance-use initiative
Summary
The Sagadahoc County commissioners voted to hire Maureen Snyder as probate clerk and Mark Imbauer as community navigator, ratified a late-submitted letter of support for a substance-use disorder initiative, and heard an administrator report on shelter and housing efforts including $26,700 for a warming center.
The Sagadahoc County commissioners voted unanimously to hire Maureen Snyder as probate clerk effective mid-August 2025 and Mark Imbauer as community navigator with a late-August start, and ratified a letter of support for a state substance-use disorder initiative signed before the meeting deadline.
County Administrator (Speaker 3) told the board she had met with Andrew Lardy of Tedford Housing and said the county provided $26,700 from school-fuel settlement funds to support a warming center that operated 141 consecutive nights. "He expressed his gratitude for the county support of their warming center program, the $26,700 from the county school fuel settlement funds," the administrator said.
On the hires, a staff member (Speaker 6) described the probate clerk candidate’s background: Maureen Snyder previously worked for the county (2013–2017) and clerked for a Florida superior court judge. "We are very fortunate that Maureen applied," the staff member said during the hiring discussion. Commissioners confirmed the probate posting ran for two weeks and were told there were no other applicants for that position.
Commissioners also approved hiring Mark Imbauer as community navigator after discussion of the search and screening process; the screening panel included commissioners, a health-board representative and HR. The motion to hire Imbauer was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
Chair (Speaker 5) told the board she had signed a letter of support for a substance-use disorder initiative because the application deadline fell before the meeting; several commissioners expressed concern that state-level solicitations often arrive with too little notice to allow full local review. The administrator said the timing challenge is a recurring problem for the county’s lobbying and advocacy work.
What’s next: The hires were approved by voice vote during the meeting and will be executed by county HR. The board asked staff to follow up on onboarding dates and to schedule any necessary orientation. The substance-use initiative will proceed with the county’s signed support; commissioners agreed to pursue internal processes to improve response time for similar requests.
