BETHEL – Selectmen are expected to hold two executive sessions during their meeting Monday, June 7, in the Town Office. It begins at 6:30 p.m.

Starting a half hour earlier than normal, the board is to discuss with the town attorney litigation in the case of Oakes versus the Town of Bethel. The matter involves an ongoing dispute over a road.

The other closed-door session involves the board’s annual job performance evaluation of Town Manager Scott Cole.

Sandwiched in between are two public hearings: one about a proposed amendment to the site plan review ordinance and the other on a citizen-initiated, petition-driven proposed ordinance for the recall of elected municipal officials.

Other items up for discussion and possible action include:

• A communication from Karen and Bill Hopkins, a Bethel couple who in a letter to the editor in Thursday’s Bethel Citizen took credit for secretly tape-recording a conversation in the town office with Cole, then releasing it to the Citizen and selectmen via fired Bethel Police Chief Darren Tripp and his wife.

• A communication from the Bethel Hangar Owners’ Association.

• Reviewing Cole’s response to an inquiry from David Luxton.

• Authorizing a contract to buy a bridge for Angevine Park, a town-owned swimming pond off the North Road.

• Approving a discontinuance order for part of the Taylor Smith Road.

• Approving a discontinuance order for Old Route 2 near the Riverview Inn.

• Town participation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a riverbank stabilization project near Davis Park.

• Approving an application from Central Maine Power for a utility pole permit.

Two routine public hearings are to be held for a liquor license renewal for L’Auberge Country Inn and for several lodging house and victualers’ license renewals.
