Emergency Operations & Hazard Mitigation Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an overdue Hazard Mitigation Plan, a likely absent or outdated Emergency Operations Plan, and an unconfirmed Disaster Recovery Plan. Compliance mandates under Publication 201, NIMS, and HSEEP create direct regulatory pressure, and incomplete NOAA weather radio installation compounds preparedness risk.
The opportunity
Grant windows under HSGP and BRIC in 2026, combined with available public safety budget surplus, create a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting now ensures NIMS compliance, preserves federal funding eligibility, and closes critical gaps before the 911 dispatching contract transition in September 2026.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current mass notification capabilities are insufficient for community-wide alerting, leaving a critical gap in emergency preparedness. Overdue hazard mitigation planning, unconfirmed disaster recovery protocols, and NIMS compliance requirements elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Active federal grant windows, including programs with 2026 deadlines, specifically fund emergency management technology such as mass notification systems. Acting within the current cycle aligns procurement with available funding, supports NIMS eligibility, and strengthens community-wide emergency response before the next severe weather season.
911 Dispatch Contract Transition and Emergency Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing 911 dispatching contract expires in September 2026, creating a hard deadline for procurement decisions around emergency communications systems. Overdue emergency plans and identified preparedness gaps—including hazard mitigation and disaster recovery—compound operational and compliance risk for public safety delivery.
The opportunity
The September 2026 contract deadline defines a clear procurement window, and current grant programs—including Homeland Security and resilience-focused funding—support emergency management technology with available local budget surplus. Acting now aligns procurement with compliance mandates, organizational transition momentum, and fiscal-year planning cycles.
Debris Management and Disaster Recovery Plan Development
Emergency Management · Disaster Recovery
High Priority
About this project
The township has active initiatives around debris management and hazard mitigation plan updates, but lacks a confirmed Disaster Recovery Plan—a critical operational gap. Compliance mandates including EOP review (Publication 201) and NIMS implementation requirements elevate risk to funding eligibility and emergency response continuity.
The opportunity
A projected budget surplus and active Public Safety Revenue Sharing (PSRS) grants provide near-term funding pathways, while HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in 2026 create a defined window for action. Formalizing disaster recovery and debris management plans now strengthens compliance posture and protects residents before the next emergency event.
Township Website Modernization and Digital Unification
IT Modernization · Digital Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The township's online presence is outdated and fragmented, with email accounts split across personal and official domains, signaling a lack of unified digital infrastructure. This creates operational inefficiencies, public communication gaps, and potential credibility and accessibility concerns for residents seeking services.
The opportunity
Digital modernization initiatives are increasingly eligible for state and federal technology grants, and aligning this project with the current fiscal planning cycle positions the township to act without straining the general fund. A refreshed, unified digital presence improves public trust, service accessibility, and long-term operational efficiency.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
A township fleet procurement initiative is underway with no existing telematics infrastructure in place, limiting operational visibility across rural service areas. Without vehicle tracking capabilities, the township faces gaps in asset accountability, route efficiency, and driver safety oversight.
The opportunity
The active fleet purchase creates a natural, cost-efficient window to integrate telematics before vehicles are deployed, avoiding costly retrofits later. Funding may align with public safety or infrastructure budget allocations, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
