Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is outdated, with no jurisdiction-specific after-action reviews documented and unresolved gaps in the county-managed emergency notification system. NIMS adoption is required for federal grant eligibility, creating a compliance-driven mandate to address these preparedness deficiencies before they affect funding access or incident response.
The opportunity
The recently completed FY 2026–2027 budget cycle reflects increased General Fund revenue, providing near-term capacity to act. Addressing EOP currency and NIMS compliance now strengthens federal grant eligibility, reduces operational risk, and positions the department ahead of any annexation-driven service expansion demands.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kingston Fire Department lacks direct visibility into the county-managed emergency notification system, including contract terms, renewal timelines, and local adoption rates. Without Kingston-specific after-action reviews or a current EOP, gaps in local communication readiness and NIMS compliance accountability remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
An existing county system provides a foundation for integration rather than a full rebuild, reducing cost and implementation risk. With FY 2026–2027 General Fund revenue up and annexation discussions underway, now is the right time to establish local oversight, close preparedness gaps, and align with federal compliance requirements.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active 5-year managed IT services agreement covering Microsoft 365 and backup provides a solid technology foundation, but gaps in credential security and endpoint management remain unaddressed. Without these controls, the environment carries elevated risk of unauthorized access and data exposure affecting city operations and residents.
The opportunity
With over $1.2M in annual IT and software spend and a recently approved FY 2026–2027 General Fund budget, capacity exists to layer security controls onto the current environment. Acting within the current agreement cycle avoids future remediation costs and aligns with responsible stewardship of public technology infrastructure.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
ADA Title II mandates require accessible digital services, but no confirmed WCAG conformance status has been established for the department's public-facing web presence. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and reduce time-to-compliance, with no competing engagements currently in place. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses legal risk proactively and demonstrates public commitment to equitable digital service delivery.
