SUMNER — Selectmen reworked a draft of a recall ordinance Tuesday night to have it ready for a special town meeting on Sept. 13. At the same meeting, voters will choose a selectman to finish the term of Glenn Hinckley, who resigned recently.

There will be a hearing on the ordinance at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

The ordinance provides the means and methods for citizens to petition to have an elected official removed from office. The petition must contain 10 percent of the registered votes cast in the last gubernatorial election and a statement of the reasons the petitioners desire to remove the official.

No petition for removal can be filed against an official who has been in office fewer than four months or has fewer than 60 days of his term remaining.

Citizen Richard Pothier presented to the Board a version of a recall ordinance that Selectman Mary Ann Haxton said was almost the same as the one she had worked up.

In other news:

• Jim Miclon, head of the Regional Communication (E-911) Center, and Jeff Inman brought maps showing the division of emergency services in the town between Buckfield Rescue and Tri Town Rescue.

Miclon pointed out that coverage on some streets in town was divided among the two responders and sometime both services would respond. Miclon and Inman both stressed that response time is critical and there must be clear lines drawn. He suggested that lines should be drawn at intersections.

Miclon stated that while cell phones provide his operators a general location, they do not pinpoint the source of the call. He suggests drawing the lines so as to make it easier for the right responders to be called.

Selectman Mark Silber asked how the population served by each rescue service would change if lines were redrawn. Administrative Assistant Cynthia Norton said she could tell how many houses were in each zone from which the number of residents could be estimated.

Norton said that the budget is based on population in the designated zones and might have to be adjusted.

Miclon said that some homes might be added or subtracted to the services and it might even out. If not, budgets could be reworked for the next fiscal year.

Haxton said Norton would be making the changes and maybe they could be made with little margin of error.

• Walter Jesnieuski spoke to the Board about what he perceives as unequal assessments. Jesnieuski is working on checking the entire town against what he believes to be unjust assessments.

Silber noted that Jesnieuski had done an amazing amount of work, but not having the town’s schedule worked into his figures made it appear that some might not be paying their full share of taxes.

Norton gave Jesnieuski a copy of the schedule worked up by O’Donnell and Associates so that he could better prepare the rest of his evaluations. She offered him access to the tax cards that show factors O’Donnell considered in evaluating individual properties. These records are public.

Jesnieuski’s big argument on assessments not being fair seemed to be on land value rather than home value.

• Town Clerk Susan Runes said they had three applications for deputy clerk and she would set up interviews with the Board and the applicants.

Runes also said there was a possibility the office would be closed on Sept. 8 as she has a mandatory training.

The office will be closed for Labor Day, Sept. 3.
