The Town of Proctor Selectboard unanimously approved a Rutland County Sheriff's Department contract for the 2026–2027 fiscal year covering 2,080 hours at a total of $117,376.660.
Lt. Andrew Cross presented a packet of town statistics and told the board that "stats have increased 20–25% for the fiscal year," and staff answered questions from board members. The contract includes a $2.55-per-hour increase and a clause allowing adjustment if fuel prices rise above $3.50 per gallon. Albert Wenta moved to approve the contract and Bruce Baccei seconded; the motion passed with all members voting in favor.
The board recorded the vote as unanimous and noted the contract figure and escalation provision will affect the town budget for 7/1/26–6/30/27. The approval followed a review of the provided handout and a brief question-and-answer exchange with Lt. Cross about recent activity levels in Proctor.
