EARLVILLE – During an executive session Monday night, the Village of Earlville Board discussed a proposed contract with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department for police coverage.

The Earlville Police Department has not been active since the village police officer resigned in April of 2006. Since that time, the village has been discussing options, including setting up a base office for the New York State Police in the former police station, contracting with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department and working out contract agreements with the Village of Sherburne for joint police coverage.
