TOPSHAM

The Board of Selectmen will meet today at 7 p.m. at the municipal building at 100 Main St.

The town’s summer intern, Jordan Smith, a Bowdoin College junior who received a Psi Epsilon Environmental Fellowship to work with the town, will give a project update.

The internship position was designed to involve working with Rod Melanson, the town’s natural resource and assistant planner, on natural resource inventories. Smith was to also work with the town’s Conservation Commission, Tree Committee, Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee, Historic District

Commission, and possibly the Economic Development Committee.

John Shattuck, the town’s economic and community development director, is also scheduled to update selectmen tonight.

In other business selectmen will:

— Consider writing off the uncollectible application fee accounts in the planning department. This consists of six accounts from 2004 to 2007 ranging from $170.25 to $1.83 and totaling $413.92. The accounts are believed no longer collectable.

— Consider issuing a quit claim deed to Rhonda Whorff for payment of taxes and interest on a 2009 lien. A mobile home and land at the property were taxed separately before 2009, after which the home was included on the land bill and the lien on the mobile home was not picked up. Whorff has delivered a check for $516.98 which pays the balance in full.

— Consider new and continuing appointments to boards and committees: Jane Belanye to the Route 196 Corridor Study Committee; Chris Wasileski to the Topsham Development Inc. board; and Ed Mendes to the Historic District Commission.

— Consider the request from Selectman David Douglass to set up a workshop on the rules and order for Topsham municipal officers.

Selectmen are scheduled to enter into executive session to discuss a personnel matter before adjourning.
