Speaker 1 (county official) presented a new alternative to full consolidation: the county would provide annual direct support payments to towns (example figure: $100,000 per town), absorb town contributions to the county 'FlyCar' Green EMS program (estimated $400–450k), and hire a county staffer to coordinate purchasing, standardization, training and recruitment. Speaker 1 framed this as a multi-year rollout to avoid a one-year $12–15 million budget shock from full consolidation and to pursue wage parity and joint procurement.

Speakers:

Greene County legislators and town leaders debated a proposal for the county to provide annual payments to towns (suggested $100,000 each) and to hire a county coordinator to shore up struggling ambulance services, while members warned money alone won’t fix staffing, mutual-aid and billing problems.
