EOP Review & Emergency Notification Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kingston's Emergency Operations Plan has an unknown review status, and mass-notification responsibilities are split between city and county systems, creating coordination gaps. This fragmentation elevates the risk of delayed or failed emergency response, exposing residents and staff to preventable harm.
The opportunity
Roane County's active investment in emergency notification expansion signals a regional priority that Kingston can align with during the current FY 2026–2027 budget cycle. Addressing EOP gaps now reduces operational and compliance risk while positioning the city to leverage cooperative procurement pathways already familiar to local government.
Consolidate City-Controlled Mass Notification Administration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kingston relies on a county-managed notification system, limiting city-level control over public alerts and emergency communications. This dependency creates operational gaps in local emergency response and leaves residents vulnerable during time-critical incidents.
The opportunity
The county's active expansion of emergency notification infrastructure signals an open investment window, making now the right time for Kingston to establish city-controlled administration. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already familiar to the department can streamline procurement and reduce cost barriers within the current fiscal cycle.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA conformance for all public-facing websites, digital forms, and PDFs by April 26, 2027, with ADA Title II enforcement exposure. Current digital tools and online payment platforms fall within scope, creating measurable legal and operational risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline establishes a defined procurement window, and FY 2026–2027 General Fund growth may provide capacity to act. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement above the $50,000 formal bid threshold, reducing time-to-compliance and mitigating enforcement risk.
Strengthen Financial Controls and Fraud Detection
Financial Integrity · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A former finance director's guilty plea has exposed critical gaps in financial oversight, fraud detection, and internal controls. With minimal existing IT and software safeguards in place, the city faces elevated fiduciary, audit, and cybersecurity risk that demands immediate remediation.
The opportunity
Leadership stability and a growing FY 2026–2027 General Fund create a viable window to act without organizational disruption. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use can accelerate procurement, reducing time-to-protection and strengthening public trust in financial governance.
