RICHMOND
During their meeting this evening, Richmond selectmen will recognize Richmond Middle School student Brendan Emmons, who won a Maine Municipal Association essay contest earlier this year.
Selectmen also plan to discuss repercussions of the April 3 town meeting; consider supporting the Sagadahoc County-wide Reverse 911 Code-Red Emergency Notification System Proposal; and consider signing the Ratio Declaration and Homestead Reimbursement Application.
Emmons was one of four students who won the essay, titled “If I Led My Community…”
Each of the students will receive a framed certificate and a $250 prize to be used for educational purposes. The awards will be presented by municipal officials in their hometowns.
The Board of Selectmen meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. at the town office.
