3. The Agreement provides for the Town to "investigate criminal activity and to
enforce the laws of this State" in the area of MUD No. 1 "in response to calls received from
persons within LTMUD 1." (Section 5; see also Section 9, which provides that Trophy Club's
monthly invoice is to include the costs incurred by Trophy Club for employees responding to
an "emergency call"). While "patrol services" is defined in Section 3, the Agreement does not
authorize Trophy Club to provide patrol services within the boundaries of MUD No. 1.
