Sagadahoc County commissioners enter executive session to discuss personnel matter

The Sagadahoc County Board of Commissioners met in a special session on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026, and voted to hold an executive session to discuss personnel matters under Title 1 MRSA 405 6 A. Commissioner Steve August called the meeting to order at 10:11 a.m. in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room at the Sagadahoc County Courthouse in Bath.

The board moved, seconded and voted to enter executive session. "Meet in Executive Session per Title 1 MRSA 405 6 A to discuss personnel matters" was the motion recorded in the transcript; Commissioner Crosby made the motion and Commissioner McPhee seconded it. The transcript states the motion "passed with a unanimous vote." The record does not list individual votes beyond the motion, second, and the unanimous outcome.

The meeting agenda also lists "Action Items" and "Adjournment," but the transcript includes no public discussion of specific action items nor a recorded adjournment time. No details about the personnel matter under discussion were disclosed in the public transcript. Under Maine law citation noted in the record (Title 1 MRSA 405 6 A), executive sessions may be used for specified personnel matters, but the transcript does not specify the statutory subsection beyond the citation used during the motion.

The board convened the special meeting at the courthouse at 10:00 a.m. per the posted notice and called it to order at 10:11 a.m.; the transcript does not report the time the board returned from executive session or adjourned. Because the public record provided here contains only the motions and the unanimous vote to enter executive session, no further substantive public actions or outcomes are recorded in the transcript for this meeting.
