County finance position proposed
ELLSWORTH
Hancock County officials want to add a finance manager or director to the payroll.
Hancock County Administrator Scott Adkins, who was finance director for Penobscot County for a decade, has been serving unofficially in that capacity since he was hired five years ago.
Adkins discussed the position with the Hancock County Commissioners at the board’s regular monthly meeting Tuesday.
The consensus, after much discussion, is that Adkins can’t effectively manage the county and work on projects when he’s spending half his time doing the finances.
“We simply need some leadership out there,” Adkins said of the finance office, “and we need some continuity. It’s one of those last pieces to solidify Hancock County government.”
