Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Town of Kimball lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a department-level mass notification system, and HSEEP exercise history—relying entirely on county resources. Resident-reported gaps in water outage communication and unmet NIMS mandates elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A $32,056 Rescue Grant already received provides a near-term funding pathway, and the FY2026–27 budget reflects growing public safety investment. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, closes critical communication gaps, and strengthens community resilience before the next incident.

Public Safety Communications · Infrastructure Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Town of Kimball has allocated $140,000 in FY2027 capital funds to modernize police radio infrastructure, with participation in the Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN) and active regional mutual-aid agreements underscoring the urgency. Aging communications systems create interoperability gaps that put officer safety and coordinated emergency response at risk.
The opportunity
Capital funding is already approved for FY2027, reducing procurement barriers and enabling near-term action. Aligning this investment with TACN participation and regional coordination agreements strengthens interoperability, supports NIMS compliance, and positions the town for resilient, mission-ready public safety communications.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Town faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA website accessibility by April 26, 2028, with no current plan or technology in place. A manual, document-heavy service model compounds the accessibility gap and creates legal exposure for the municipality.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline creates a fixed, non-negotiable compliance horizon, making early action essential for a phased, cost-managed approach. Engaging now allows the Town to align implementation with upcoming fiscal planning cycles and reduce legal and operational risk proactively.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Fleet Safety Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Recent fleet accidents have reduced available police vehicles, driven a 16.1% increase in vehicle insurance costs, and prompted plans to replace 10 units. Without fleet visibility and driver safety tools, operational risk and insurance exposure will continue to grow alongside an active traffic-services enforcement initiative.
The opportunity
An approved THSO Grant (October 2026–September 2027 cycle) designated for the Police Department provides a near-term funding pathway for highway safety technology. Cooperative purchasing agreements are authorized town-wide, streamlining procurement and enabling action within the current grant window.

IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
An IT support and hardware maintenance agreement is approaching its July 1, 2026 renewal date, creating a defined decision window for the Town. This renewal represents a natural re-evaluation point to assess service coverage, lifecycle alignment, and cost-effectiveness of existing technology agreements.
The opportunity
The upcoming renewal deadline aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle, offering an opportunity to right-size coverage and improve operational continuity before the new term begins. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement and ensure responsible stewardship of public funds.
