Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Montague lacks a publicly available municipal Emergency Operations Plan and a documented city-level mass notification system, creating significant compliance and preparedness gaps. Fragmented alert tools and unmet NIMS implementation mandates elevate operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Multiple FEMA grant programs provide clear funding paths for mass notification and EOP modernization, with active budget commitment already signaling readiness. Consolidating fragmented systems now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens citywide emergency response ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks deployed dash-camera or telematics technology across its municipal fleet, creating measurable liability exposure and gaps in vehicle safety oversight. With FY25-26 budgets actively funding vehicle replacements and capital equipment, new assets are being added without accompanying safety or accountability infrastructure.
The opportunity
The active vehicle replacement budget cycle opens a practical window to integrate fleet safety and telematics alongside planned acquisitions, maximizing existing capital commitments. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to simplify and accelerate procurement, and the city's healthy fund balance supports near-term investment aligned with the current fiscal year.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps across its municipal website and public-facing portals, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to services. A strategic website update initiative is underway but remains in a funding-search phase, leaving compliance risk unresolved.
The opportunity
The federal WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 creates a firm near-term window to act, and phased remediation by risk severity can align costs with the current budget cycle. Addressing gaps now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the city to leverage available funding pathways before the deadline.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City of Montague's annual IT and software spend of $20,577 signals limited investment in enterprise cybersecurity tooling, leaving endpoint management and credential security largely unaddressed. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk across municipal systems and staff.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs, including JAG and COPS TEP, offer eligible funding pathways for municipal cybersecurity initiatives, reducing the burden on constrained local budgets. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to close critical security gaps and strengthen IT resilience cost-effectively.
