Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a township-level mass notification system, and documented exercise or review cycles—creating significant liability exposure. These gaps directly jeopardize funding eligibility, as EOP review and NIMS implementation are tied to compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Multiple emergency management grants with July 2026 deadlines offer strong funding alignment, and a recent leadership transition opens a near-term window for new initiatives. Acting now addresses compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the township to capture available funding before deadlines close.
Municipal Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on county-level infrastructure for emergency notifications, limiting its ability to independently alert residents during critical incidents. This gap creates measurable operational and safety risk, and unresolved compliance mandates tied to NIMS implementation and EOP review elevate funding eligibility exposure.
The opportunity
A near-term federal grant opportunity offers substantial funding with no required local match and explicitly covers municipal communications systems. With a new Township Manager onboard and a Capital Improvement Plan under active board review, the current window is well-positioned for a timely, compliance-aligned investment decision.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's website operates on an aging CMS with identified WCAG 2.1 gaps, creating direct exposure under ADA Title II federal requirements. Without a formally adopted accessibility initiative, residents with disabilities face barriers to public services, and the township faces growing legal and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The Board's upcoming review of the 6-Year Capital Improvement Plan in July 2026 presents a near-term budget decision window to address this federal mandate. Acting now reduces liability exposure, improves equitable public access, and aligns remediation costs with active fiscal planning cycles.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's Board-approved Capital Improvement Plan (FY2026–2031) prioritizes vehicle and equipment replacement, yet no telematics or dash-cam technology is currently in place. This gap creates unquantified liability exposure and limits the township's ability to document fleet safety practices or manage operational risk.
The opportunity
The 6-Year Capital Improvement Plan goes before the Board on July 16, 2026, creating an immediate procurement decision window. COPS TEP funding—which explicitly covers fleet safety systems and carries no local match requirement—offers a viable path to advance this initiative within the current fiscal cycle.
