Impact analysis
Residents may see the long-standing $5-per-resident fee revisited later this year.
Households that subscribe get reduced ambulance costs; the whole community keeps local EMS.
If subscriptions keep sliding, taxpayers could face pressure to fund EMS differently or risk slower response times.
