Impact analysis
Taxpayers could end up covering transition and operating costs as the county absorbs the service, though the town may shed some contract expenses.
County officials gain direct control over EMS, and residents could benefit if the takeover improves coverage or response times.
No groups are confirmed harmed, but town residents and current EMS staff could face disruption if response times or staffing change.
