The FY2027 budget worksheet for the Town of Kirtland shows a $300,000 line for "Contract-prof Ser-Engineer" (FY26 approved) with a note asking whether Council wants to continue with these services and only minimal current-year spending, suggesting reevaluation and potential re-procurement of engineering support. The FY2027 column does not show a new amount for that line, indicating that the Town may reset or adjust how engineering services are contracted going forward. The same budget document includes an "IT security" line with FY26 spending of $15,758.25 and a proposed FY27 amount of $20,000, with a note to "continue services?" suggesting that cybersecurity and IT support contracts are also under review.
