Committee agrees to raise police services line to $6,000 for 2026
Summary
The Finance & Purchase Committee discussed options for policing hours and agreed to increase the police services budget from $5,300 to $6,000 for 2026 to better cover contracted coverage estimated at about four hours per week.
Committee members reviewed prior information about police service options and discussed the current $5,300 police services line, which had been meant to cover roughly four hours per week of contracted service. Members agreed to increase the police services budget to $6,000 for 2026 to reflect anticipated contracting needs.
The discussion was procedural rather than a finalized contract decision: committee members did not approve a provider at the Sept. 23 meeting but set the higher budget number so staff can proceed with planning and include the amount in the draft for next month's review.
