Modernize Emergency Operations Plan for NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan dates to 1978, contains unresolved contradictions, and lacks the auditable format required by current standards. Active compliance mandates tie a current EOP and NIMS certification directly to state grant eligibility, elevating both operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 EMPG grant window closes before the October 1 fiscal-year start, creating a near-term deadline to act. Addressing this gap now preserves grant eligibility, reduces liability from recurring severe weather events, and aligns with the FY 2026–2027 budget and capital planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has unresolved performance and renewal risks, creating a critical gap in emergency preparedness. A split ecosystem with the county operating a separate platform compounds integration challenges and undermines coordinated public alerting during severe weather and other emergencies.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and EMPG grant window create a near-term funding path to resolve renewal risk and consolidate fragmented notification infrastructure. Acting now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens community-wide emergency response, and aligns capital investment with available grant resources before the October 1 fiscal-year start.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates high-value apparatus in a volunteer environment with emergency-response right-of-way exposure, recurring maintenance demands, and no documented incident video. A recently acquired grant-funded brush truck expands a fleet that currently lacks telematics or video documentation, increasing operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes a $167,000 increase in new-equipment funding for the fire department, creating a clear funding path aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden for this time-sensitive onboarding need.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
General IT services and software maintenance budgets are increasing, yet no cybersecurity or endpoint management solutions are currently in place, leaving systems undocumented and potentially unprotected. Unaddressed password management and endpoint visibility gaps elevate operational and compliance risk across departments.
The opportunity
FY 2026–2027 budget approvals for IT services and software maintenance provide a funded entry point, and the EMPG grant program may extend eligibility to cybersecurity initiatives. Acting within this fiscal cycle closes critical security gaps before the October 1 budget year start.
