Wiscasset’s new town clerk, Linda Perry of Waldoboro, started work on Monday, Aug. 3.

“I’m excited. So far I’m loving it,” Perry said at the counter at the municipal building Monday morning. “I’ve always loved Wiscasset.”

Perry is a certified clerk of Maine with 12 years’ experience as a town clerk, Town Manager Marian Anderson states in a July 31 announcement. Perry previously served as Waldoboro’s town clerk.

According to the announcement, Perry is an active member of the Lincoln and Sagadahoc County clerks’ associations and the Maine Town and City Clerks Association.

Perry will also serve as Wiscasset’s registrar of voters.

Christine Wolfe’s last day as Wiscasset town clerk was June 26. Wolfe, of Dresden, left to become Freeport’s town clerk.

Perry’s hire in Wiscasset comes as she may be close to resolving her March 2015 court challenge of the disciplinary action she said she received as Waldoboro’s town clerk. Perry’s appeal in Lincoln County Superior Court asks the court to rescind the probation Perry said she was issued at work, and remove it from her personnel file. Town Manager Linda-Jean Briggs cited insubordinate behavior as the basis for the probation, in a December 2014 letter on file with the court.

On July 1, Superior Court Justice Daniel Billings granted Waldoboro’s request to put the appeal on hold for 30 days. Perry consented to the motion, according to the request filed by the town’s lawyers.

“The parties are in the process of discussing a possible resolution ... and believe that staying this matter ... will save the parties from expending effort and court resources that may not be necessary,” the request states.
