Easy to say, but hard to do in NYS.
You might be able force a consolidation vote at most.

Fire Districts can not bill by NYS state law, so now the taxpayers will foot the cost.

Just curious?
Mount Pleasant is a town in Westchester County, New York, in the United States. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 43,724.[2] The villages of Valhalla, Hawthorne, Thornwood ,
Pleasantville and part of Briarcliff Manor lie within the town,[a] as well as a number of hamlets.
The town has a total area of 32.7 square miles (85 km2), of which 27.7 square miles (72 km2) is land and 5.0 square miles (13 km2), or 15.26%, is water.
Taken from Wikipedia.
Is there a formula for how many BLS and ALS units a town this size needs?

Not knowing about the situation, If you wanted to dispatch and not go to 60.....
Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire civilian dispatchers and train them?
Seems to be a waste of a FF position when the departments are constantly runnning short on manpower.
Maybe its time for Greenville, Fairview and Harstdale merge dispatch since you respond together all the time.
My 2 cents

I would rather have the "extra" guy on the floor. All day, everyday. Having a trained firefighter stuck in a room answering a phone and yapping on a radio instead of pulling hose is a waste of resources. Especially considering 60 control is there AND available to do the job FOR you.
Can you really look me in the face and say "I'd rather have firefighter Joe in the radio room and not helping us make the stretch down a smoke filled hallway because he really is more helpful to me on the radio than on the line." If so, you are whacked.
