WILTON – Selectmen signed a warrant for the annual town meeting Tuesday that included a couple changes.

A citizen petition to put an article on the warrant for the fish screen at the foot of Wilson Lake was brought in by Noel Brown. He collected over 200 signatures, said Town Manager Peter Nielsen. A total of 193 or 10 percent of the voters in the most recent gubernatorial election was needed to force a vote. Selectmen previously voted no on the fish screen.

Another addition will allow selectmen to sell or make suitable use of the School Street property that will be returned to the town July 1.

Both articles will be included in the warrant by unanimous vote of selectmen.

Nomination papers have been returned for two selectmen positions but no one has returned papers for a SAD 9 board position, Nielsen said.

Irv Faunce and Doug Hiltz have taken out papers for Rodney Hall’s seat on the board and Keith Swett has taken papers for Russell Black’s position.

In other business, from three bids for printing the town report, selectmen unanimously voted to award the bid to The Printing Warehouse of Wilton for $1,875. That’s the middle bid but with the ease of transportation and working with someone local, the board agreed to accept it over the others. Bids were submitted by Wilton Printed Products for $1,937 and from Bangor Letter Shop & Color Copy Center for $1,678.14.

Selectmen also signed appointment papers for reserve officers Kyle Ellis and Jeffrey Rackliffe on a contractual basis from May 1 to June 30. They were hired to help provide coverage until new regular officers are hired.

The town has received a bill for $16,872.81 from the firm of Bernstein, Shur, Sawyer and Nelson for services provided during the recent police department’s internal investigation of three police officers. Legal expenses are normally taken from a $11,500 fund, Nielsen said, but the account only has $7,368 left in it until the town meeting. Selectmen determined that the bill constitutes an emergency and an amount of less than $10,000 could be provided under an emergency article from the last town meeting vote.

During his report, Nielsen told the board about a decision made by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court last Thursday. He had received a notice from the firm of Bernstein and Shur. The court’s decision says any board that has a vacancy cannot do business legally.

The town has a vacancy on the Board of Assessment Review and with re-evaluations and valuations notices coming out he suggested that the vacancy should be filled. Anyone who would like to serve should contact the town office.

The board went into executive session to discuss a candidate for full-time police officer.
