FARMINGTON — Franklin County commissioners decided Tuesday to return to 3:30 p.m. meeting the first and third Tuesdays of each month starting Sept. 3.
The change is to accommodate the schedule of Chairman Lance Harvell of Farmington, who is a teacher.
During the summer when school was not in session, they met at 10 a.m.
In other business, the county will host the Maine County Commissioners Association annual conference Sept. 24-26 at Sugarloaf resort in Carrabassett Valley.
Administrative Assistant Jamie Sullivan said, “We are looking for (Franklin County) swag” for raffles and reached out to vendors and local community members for donations of something representing the county.
The Commissioners’ Office will be closed Sept. 24 and 25 and half the day Sept. 26.
The county courthouse at 140 Main St. will be closed Sept. 24 for staff to also attend the conference.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
