Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, township-owned mass notification, and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating critical preparedness gaps. NIMS compliance and Community Wildfire Protection Plan mandates remain unmet, while recent Fire and Rescue leadership departures heighten operational risk.
The opportunity
Active grant funding paths and an upcoming board meeting to allocate public safety funds create a strong near-term procurement window. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with compliance mandates, supports leadership continuity during transition, and leverages available state and federal funding before the current cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-operated notification system, leaving it without independent emergency communication capabilities during local incidents. This gap conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements and limits the township's ability to reach residents directly and reliably.
The opportunity
State public safety revenue sharing and targeted emergency preparedness grants offer immediate, accessible funding with an active board budget discussion already underway. Acting now closes a critical compliance and operational gap while aligning with current grant windows and fiscal planning cycles.
Fire & Rescue Fleet Telematics Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire and rescue fleet lacks documented telematics coverage, creating unaddressed safety and risk management gaps alongside unresolved small-claims legal exposure. With a one-year fire/rescue services agreement in effect, operational accountability and liability risks demand immediate attention.
The opportunity
Capital funding alignment, CIP planning cycles, and identified grant pathways create a near-term procurement window for fleet safety solutions. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An end-of-life ID card machine has exposed a gap in identity and access management infrastructure, creating a potential cybersecurity vulnerability. With no established security partners in place, the township faces elevated risk to systems, staff access controls, and compliance posture.
The opportunity
End-of-life hardware creates a natural, time-sensitive replacement cycle that aligns with current fiscal planning and available public safety technology funding. Addressing this now reduces operational risk, strengthens access controls, and positions the township for a more secure, compliant infrastructure.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's digital presence does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. Remediation is compliance-driven, with an existing website design engagement already underway that can accelerate scoping and implementation.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 mandates create a defined remediation timeline, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk while improving equitable public access. This project aligns with active digital infrastructure work, lowering adoption barriers and supporting efficient use of public funds.
