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.
A driver from Glenwood and his passenger from Marshall both died.

The names of the two people who died in a two-vehicle crash near Osakis early Sunday morning, May 23, have been released.
They were identified as Scott Gerald Johnson, 24, of Glenwood and Zoe Mikaela Tostenson, 21, who last lived in Marshall but calls Evansville her home, according to family members.
An initial investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office indicates that Dylan Jeffrey Klukken, 19, of Osakis was driving a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado north on County Road 3 SE when a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle, eastbound on Hope Road, failed to stop for the stop sign at the intersection and was struck in the passenger door by the Silverado.
