Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is 5.3 years old, with no documented exercises or After Action Reviews, and recent severe flooding has exposed critical readiness gaps. NIMS compliance and a Hazard Management Plan update due June 2026 create hard deadlines, with loss of federal funding as a direct consequence of inaction.
The opportunity
The June 2026 compliance deadline and available federal grant funding—including FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program resources—make this an urgent, fiscally strategic priority. A newly appointed Deputy Director of Emergency Services signals leadership momentum to advance planning, exercises, and mass notification modernization now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has documented execution gaps that limit reliable outreach to residents and staff during emergencies. The Hazard Management Plan update—due June 2026—formally identifies notification modernization as a required action item, creating a compliance and operational risk that must be addressed.
The opportunity
The June 2026 Hazard Management Plan deadline creates a defined window to remediate a documented deficiency before compliance consequences take effect. Federal grant funding aligned to emergency preparedness and public safety communications is available, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating delivery.

Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a firm June 2026 deadline to update its Hazard Management Plan and achieve NIMS compliance, with non-compliance resulting in loss of federal funding. Gaps in preparedness documentation and mass notification execution elevate operational and financial risk for the community.
The opportunity
The June 2026 deadline creates clear near-term urgency, and available state and federal funding streams—including aligned grant opportunities—support compliance-related investments with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle protects federal funding eligibility and strengthens community emergency response outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A Public Safety Study identified critical fleet gaps—including personal vehicle use, incomplete maintenance records, and no telematics or dashboard cameras—creating measurable liability, safety, and operational risk for the department and the public it serves.
The opportunity
Active fleet asset disposal and replacement signals an ideal lifecycle moment to integrate safety technology. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed available, reducing procurement complexity, and relevant grants may offset acquisition costs within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals carry an ADA Title II obligation requiring accessible web experiences for all residents, including those with disabilities. While an ADA coordinator is in place, the absence of a defined WCAG remediation roadmap leaves the department exposed to compliance risk and potential service equity gaps.
The opportunity
An existing website services relationship and a broader digital compliance review create a timely opening to address accessibility gaps ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Proactive remediation reduces legal exposure, advances equitable public access, and may align with state or federal funding eligible for digital modernization initiatives.
