Emergency Operations Plan Development and Maintenance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Franklin County has no current Emergency Operations Plan in place and faces a clear compliance mandate for EOP maintenance and updates. A fragmented emergency management digital stack and a recent false lockdown alert at a local high school have exposed critical communication control failures and governance gaps that elevate risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
An active hazard mitigation program and increased General Fund spending in the proposed FY2027 budget signal capacity for public safety investment now. Addressing this greenfield gap aligns with compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to pursue eligible state and federal preparedness funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently has no active mass-notification contract or centralized alert governance, leaving residents and staff without a reliable alerting platform during emergencies. A false lockdown alert at the local high school exposed the operational and safety risks of uncontrolled alert issuance, underscoring the urgency of establishing communication control and EOP compliance.
The opportunity
With no incumbent platform to displace, the county is positioned to act quickly as contract renewal windows open and FY2027 budget increases signal available capacity. Addressing this gap now reduces public safety liability, supports EOP compliance mandates, and aligns with cooperative purchasing programs that can streamline procurement.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county has documented workers' compensation exposure from patrol vehicles and a recent ambulance rollover incident, with no confirmed dash-camera or telematics deployment in place. Fleet management remains a greenfield modernization area, and growing leadership attention to traffic safety signals increasing awareness of operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget reflects increased Highway/Public Works spending, creating a timely funding window for fleet safety investments. Federal bus and transit infrastructure grant programs may offset costs for eligible vehicles, enabling the county to advance safety outcomes and reduce workers' compensation exposure within the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing digital infrastructure relies on fragmented tools for website management and online forms, with usability monitoring already in place—signaling awareness of accessibility gaps but no unified solution. An approaching website hosting contract renewal creates a natural evaluation window to address compliance, resident access equity, and digital service continuity.
The opportunity
A planned Library Technology Grant application is a top FY2027 strategic priority and represents a viable funding pathway for digital content and accessibility improvements. Acting ahead of the hosting contract renewal aligns procurement timing with budget planning and positions the county to meet accessibility standards before the next fiscal cycle.
