Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has an undocumented Emergency Operations Plan and confirmed tornado siren failures, creating critical preparedness and compliance gaps. NIMS adoption and EOP coordination mandates remain unmet, elevating operational and reputational risk to the community.
The opportunity
A new Fire Chief leadership transition and active FY 2026/2027 budget and procurement cycles create a near-term window to formalize emergency management capabilities. Federal preparedness funding pathways, including EMPG-eligible programs, may offset costs while advancing compliance and community safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town operates a fragmented emergency notification environment, with a county-level system and a separate, aging town alert system functioning independently. This gap limits coordinated response, creates coverage and reliability risks, and leaves residents and responders vulnerable during time-critical events — compounded by documented siren failures and an undocumented Emergency Operations Plan.
The opportunity
A recent leadership transition in emergency operations, combined with active FY budget cycles and potential FEMA EMPG funding eligibility, creates a timely window to consolidate alerting infrastructure. Addressing this now reduces compliance exposure under NIMS mandates, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the town to leverage cooperative procurement pathways for cost-effective implementation.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Maintenance Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
Recent budget reallocations within Fire Prevention & Control reflect increased investment in vehicle maintenance alongside new vehicle acquisitions across departments, signaling gaps in maintenance tracking and fleet-wide operational visibility. Without centralized telematics, departments face elevated risk of deferred maintenance, unplanned downtime, and reduced accountability over public assets.
The opportunity
An active fleet spending cycle and new Fire Department leadership overseeing apparatus and procurement create a timely window for adopting fleet management technology. Cooperative purchasing pathways may simplify procurement, and alignment with the current fiscal cycle supports efficient use of already-allocated public funds.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has committed to WCAG alignment but remains out of full compliance, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to public-facing digital services. Existing document management infrastructure is in place, yet accessibility gaps across web properties remain unresolved and pose ongoing risk.
The opportunity
WCAG compliance mandates provide a defined, acknowledged driver for action, and addressing gaps now reduces legal liability while improving service delivery for all residents. This project aligns with active technology procurement cycles and may be eligible for state or cooperative funding pathways to minimize local budget impact.
