2027 Fire Protection District Contracts
The town contracts with the villages of Fayetteville, Minoa and Manlius for fire and ambulance service outside village lines — together about $6.5 million for 2027. Public hearings are set for October 14 before the Board can sign.

A year-long study found uneven staffing, response times and tax rates across the town's fire services. Officials want a unified fire district but tabled the public hearing to gather required data and brief the villages first.
