Formalize Emergency Operations Plan and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kingston Fire & Rescue lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and faces active compliance mandates tied to NIMS and county planning requirements. Recent severe weather events have exposed resource gaps, elevating operational and public safety risk for the community it serves.
The opportunity
Active grant programs — including HSGP and BRIC — provide viable funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives, and a recent leadership transition creates a timely opening for new frameworks and processes. Formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.
Mass Notification Consolidation for Emergency Reach
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following a recent platform transition, the agency relies on an opt-in notification model that limits community reach during emergencies, and documented severe weather gaps signal insufficient coverage. Active procurement activity and unmet EOP and NIMS compliance mandates elevate both operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle, combined with identified grant pathways including JAG, HSGP, and BRIC, creates a timely funding window to consolidate and strengthen community-wide notification capabilities. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and improves emergency outcomes for residents before the next severe weather season.
Fleet Safety Monitoring & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent total-loss fleet vehicle accident has exposed critical gaps in real-time safety monitoring across public fleet operations, including newly acquired work trucks. Public scrutiny over camera and data usage underscores the need for transparent, accountable fleet safety practices.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing channels are already in place, enabling an accelerated procurement path aligned with current fiscal planning. Addressing fleet safety now reduces liability exposure, supports a concurrent traffic safety data initiative, and may qualify for available grant funding.
Chart of Accounts Conversion & IT Process Modernization
IT Modernization · Financial Accountability
High Priority
About this project
An ongoing Michigan universal chart of accounts conversion, prompted by audit findings, has exposed systemic gaps in IT systems and financial process accountability. Without improved endpoint oversight and operational controls, the entity remains at risk of continued audit findings and compliance deficiencies.
The opportunity
Audit-driven remediation typically carries mandated timelines and dedicated budget allocations, creating a structured window to advance IT management and process improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance resolution, strengthens financial transparency, and may align with state-eligible funding pathways.

Traffic Safety · Infrastructure Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A community-driven initiative to reconfigure road infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists while pursuing a traffic safety data grant highlights growing public safety and mobility equity demands. Without structured data collection and analysis capabilities, the agency risks gaps in safety outcomes and grant compliance readiness.
The opportunity
An active grant application signals leadership commitment and a near-term funding decision that could accelerate procurement timelines significantly. Acting within the current grant window positions the agency to advance infrastructure safety goals, meet data reporting requirements, and maximize available public funding.
