The Town of Wayne Select Board on June 10 approved accounts payable number 54 in the amount of $2,785,429.17, payroll number 53 for $21,547.49 and the fiscal year 2026 PSAP dispatch contract with Androscopy County.

Why it matters: the accounts included prepaid charges and year-end items that affect the town’s FY25-to-FY26 accounting and remaining balances for special revenue projects. Approving the PSAP (public safety answering point) contract ensures continuity of dispatch services but the contract’s timing affects budgeting.

Board members and staff noted that several line items in the accounts payable were prepaid for FY26: payments to RHR Smith and Company and to KS State Bank relate to prepayments, including an LED lighting contract started in 2021 that runs seven years and is now in its fifth year. The board also discussed several reimbursements: credit-card reimbursements for staff and reimbursements and grant reimbursements tied to facility projects.

On the PSAP contract, staff said the invoice arrived after the budget was finalized; the town is slightly underbudgeted for the contract by roughly $300 because of timing, and the payment is not due until September of the next fiscal year. The board approved the FY26 PSAP service contract and noted the timing discrepancy for future budgeting.

Town Manager Shannon told the board she had received final invoices for tennis and track work and reported two special-revenue account lines showing reimbursements: one reimbursement for $81,377 and another negative balance of $64,002.44, leaving roughly $10,782 between the two accounts for a related recreation project until final reimbursement arrives. Shannon said staff would submit the final reimbursement request and expects to receive funds before the final invoice is due.

The board voted to approve the warrants and payroll by voice vote; the record shows an abstention on the June 2 minutes approval from a member who was not present for that earlier meeting.
