KILLIAN - The town of Killian agreed to settle a dispute over retirement benefits after the council voted to temporarily dissolve the police department last year.

According to the Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System, Killian never enrolled their department in the system. State law requires all municipalities to pay into retirement for their officers.

Killian initially owed the retirement system more than $370,000, but came to an agreement to pay just over $50,000 to address the issue.
