Policing of the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship was also discussed at yesterday's meeting.
OPP Inspector John Kendrick says it's a balance in meeting both community and event needs.
"(The town's) contract provides for you to have two officers in town," says Kendrick. "Well if those two officers are continuously at the bass tournament then they're not answering the calls for service in town. If there at the bass tournament, in accordance with the liquor license, and they're called away, they're not providing the services that required by the liquor licence act."
Tournament organizers plan to address the issue with the Police Services Board in the near future.
