The Enfield Village Board held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday night.
The Village of Mill Shoals has proposed allowing Enfield to use their police vehicle in exchange for police coverage. The 2014 model vehicle, with 123,000 miles, is in excellent condition with several new parts and only requires a radio. The board agreed to draft a contract with Mill Shoals to use the vehicle for 13 months at a cost of $11,700—the equivalent of police service at $75 per hour for three hours each week. At the end of the period, the vehicle would become Enfield’s property. This agreement is contingent upon approval from the Mill Shoals Village Board at a special meeting. Currently, Enfield’s police vehicle requires a new catalytic converter.
The board unanimously approved rules for using the Enfield Community Center, finalized at last week’s special meeting. A $200 rental fee will be refunded if the facility is left in its original condition.
