Emergency Operations Plan Development & Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library lacks a facility-specific Emergency Operations Plan, documented mass-notification ownership, and evidence of formal exercises, creating critical compliance and safety gaps. As the city modernizes its emergency management infrastructure, the library faces mounting pressure to align or risk being left outside coordinated response frameworks.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY27 budget with a materially larger technology line-item opens an immediate funding window, and the city's active Emergency Management enhancement initiative signals near-term decision readiness. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community safety, and positions the library to leverage available public funding pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library and city operate separate alert systems with undocumented mass-notification ownership at the library level, creating redundancy and operational risk. With the city already transitioning to cloud-based alerting infrastructure, the fragmented ecosystem poses continuity and compliance gaps that consolidation would directly resolve.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY27 technology budget with a materially larger line-item creates an immediate procurement window. Consolidating now reduces operational complexity, closes documented emergency preparedness gaps, and aligns with cooperative purchasing options that can accelerate procurement timelines.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The library's public-facing digital services currently meet only the WCAG 2.0 A/AA standard, leaving a documented gap against the 2.1 requirement. This exposes the institution to legal and accessibility risk while limiting equitable access to digital services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
A materially larger FY27 technology budget creates an immediate spending window, and named federal grant programs explicitly support library web accessibility improvements with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and expands equitable public access.
Bookmobile Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Asset Protection
High Priority
About this project
The library's bookmobile fleet operates without telematics or dashcam coverage, leaving the institution exposed to crash litigation and asset loss with no documented monitoring baseline. This unaddressed gap presents measurable operational and liability risk to a publicly funded service.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY27 technology budget with a materially larger technology line-item creates an immediate window to close this gap through cooperative purchasing channels, reducing procurement complexity. Acting within the current budget cycle ensures continuity of public service and strengthens stewardship of library assets.
