FRYEBURG, Maine â Selectmen will be asking voters in November whether they want to formally legalize restaurant liquor sales on Sundays. Also on the ballot is a proposal to boost police officers retirement packages.Â
Selectmen discussed the draft warrant for the upcoming town meeting on Thursday and are expected to finalize the warrant language at their meeting Aug. 26.
A draft warrant that Town Manager Katie Haley shared with the Sun on Monday says the special town meeting would be held Nov. 2 from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. The votes would be conducted by secret ballot. Maine is having a referendum vote the same day.
The Fryeburg Police Department has six full-time officers but has been down two officers since the spring.
Chief Aaron Mick said officer Krista Lee stepped down from a full-time position in April, and Sgt. Heidi Johnston stepped down from her position at the end of June.
Mick said both Lee and Johnston will be reserve officers, which means they can be called on to fill shifts, but the chief will not have as much control over their schedules.
Selectman Kimberly Clarke made a successful motion to approve the police departmentâs request for incentive and retention pay as outlined in a July 8 memo.
