The board considered a PAP (public-assistance policing) contract with the Androsken County Sheriff's Office covering Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2027, for $10,326.

The board discussed that dispatch and state police billing arrive on a different schedule than the town's fiscal year and that appropriations or contingency transfers may be required to cover the charge. The chair instructed the treasurer and staff to make clear notes on the invoice regarding the intended funding source for the expense.
