Emergency Communications Center Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A full fire department resignation has created an immediate emergency preparedness gap, exposing the town to longer response times, records security vulnerabilities, and administrative breakdowns. Mandated transitions from NFIRS to NERIS and required NIMS adoption add regulatory pressure alongside the planned buildout of a new 911 Communications Center.
The opportunity
FY2025-26 General Fund increases signal available budget, and grant programs aligned with next-generation warning systems and emergency preparedness planning offer a viable funding path with limited local match. Acting now addresses an active public safety crisis while positioning the town for long-term communications infrastructure resilience.
Credential Access Control During Staffing Transition
Cybersecurity · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The mass resignation of the entire fire department has created urgent gaps in credential transfers, access revocation, and password control across department systems. The town has a cybersecurity policy in place but lacks the tooling to enforce it, leaving critical systems exposed during this high-risk transition period.
The opportunity
This is a non-deferrable need driven by active staffing volatility and documented credential security gaps. Purchases under $25,000 can proceed through informal procurement, enabling rapid action. The town's existing IT budget and potential eligibility for state cybersecurity grant funding support a fast, fiscally responsible path forward.
Strengthen Endpoint Security During Staffing Transition
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An existing cybersecurity policy lacks the enforcement tools needed to protect systems and credentials, and a significant staffing transition has left endpoints vulnerable to misconfiguration or unauthorized access. Without active IT management controls, town systems and sensitive data face elevated and immediate operational risk.
The opportunity
The current fiscal year budget reflects available General Fund capacity, and state and federal cybersecurity grant programs are accessible to eligible local governments. Acting now closes a critical security gap, supports compliance, and positions the town for a more resilient IT posture ahead of the next budget cycle.
Fire Fleet Telematics & Equipment Accountability
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A department-wide staffing loss has left town-owned fire equipment without oversight, accountability tracking, or fleet management infrastructure. The absence of any incumbent system creates immediate risks around equipment utilization, emergency readiness, and operational continuity for remaining vehicles.
The opportunity
General Fund budget increases projected for FY2025-26 provide a viable funding pathway for this net-new initiative. Acting now closes a critical accountability gap, supports emergency readiness, and positions the town ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
