We Need Fire Protection For Unincorporated Greenburgh

I met with the Greenburgh Town Board in recent weeks to discuss our tradition of finalizing contracts with fire districts a few years after services were provided. This is not acceptable to me and creates hardships for each of the fire districts and village governments. They provided the services to the town and deserve payments quickly.

At the Greenburgh Town Board meeting on January 14, 2026, the Board will hold a hearing for the “purpose of considering a one year agreement with the Town of Greenburgh and the Village of Irvington to provide Fire Protection Services to unincorporated area residents of the East Irvington Fire Protection district for the year 2024.”  The town still has not finalized a contract for 2024 or 2025 with the Tarrytown Fire district. It doesn’t make sense to have disputes over a contract after the services were provided.

If each of the villages that provide fire district services for unincorporated Greenburgh would  provide town officials with the proposed contracts and terms of the fire services by March of the year the contract starts we will work hard to make sure that the contract is finalized in a timely manner and that each of the villages within the town receive payment the same year the contract starts – not years later.

It’s embarrassing to have a public hearing on a 2024 contract in January, 2026!
