Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a local Emergency Operations Plan, depends on county-level mass notification without local governance, and has no documented exercises or After Action Reviews. Recent flooding events and active NIMS compliance mandates elevate the risk of losing federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
Named federal grant programs — including EMPG, HSGP, and BRIC — provide near-term funding paths with clear eligibility for preparedness initiatives. New Fire Department leadership creates a timely opening to close compliance gaps, formalize local response capacity, and protect residents and staff.
Establishing Local Control of Emergency Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on a county-operated mass notification system, leaving local staff with no independent governance or control over emergency communications during incidents. This dependency creates operational risk, limits timely resident outreach, and conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements tied to federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
Emergency management grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP offer viable funding paths for locally governed notification infrastructure, with limited local match typically required. Recent leadership transitions and documented preparedness gaps create a timely window to act before the next grant cycle closes and compliance risk escalates.
Endpoint Security and Credential Compliance Modernization
Cybersecurity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces active CJIS and HIPAA compliance mandates tied to mobile device usage, with a hard October 2025 deadline. Legacy endpoint tools, absent password management, and new staff onboarding needs compound credential security gaps and elevate operational and audit risk.
The opportunity
The October 2025 compliance deadline creates non-discretionary urgency, and the approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated line items for software and technology upgrades. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and positions the department for sustainable, audit-ready security operations.
Fleet Safety and Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented fleet accident and a significant rise in insurance costs signal gaps in driver behavior monitoring and fleet safety oversight. With ongoing vehicle acquisitions expanding the fleet footprint, the absence of a structured telematics program increases liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
Rising insurance expenses and active fleet expansion create a fiscally urgent entry point for telematics adoption, with cooperative purchasing agreements available to streamline procurement. Addressing this now supports cost containment, reduces liability exposure, and aligns with responsible stewardship of public assets.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has a documented need to meet WCAG 2.1 web accessibility standards, a federal requirement for public-facing digital services. Without remediation, the entity faces compliance exposure and risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential online resources.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes a dedicated website administration line item, creating an active and accessible funding window. Acting within this cycle addresses federal compliance requirements and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
