Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps Before Next Severe Weather Event
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority has documented emergency preparedness deficiencies—including uninstalled backup generators, an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, and insufficient local resources exposed during a recent severe weather event. NIMS adoption is federally mandated as a prerequisite for preparedness grant eligibility, and shoreline flooding risks compound operational exposure.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a near-term funding pathway, and an active FY2026–27 budget review creates a timely procurement window. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk, advances NIMS compliance, and positions the authority to protect residents and secure federal reimbursement.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces a hard WCAG/ADA compliance deadline of March 30, 2026, creating immediate legal and regulatory exposure across its public-facing digital portals. Without remediation, the agency risks enforcement action and inequitable access to essential public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The firm March 2026 deadline makes this a near-term priority, and the active FY2026–27 budget review creates a timely window to fund compliant digital infrastructure. Addressing this now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the authority for sustainable, accessible public service delivery.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently lacks dashcam and telematics infrastructure, leaving documented safety risks unaddressed and fleet operations without data-driven oversight. This gap creates measurable liability exposure and limits the authority's ability to demonstrate due diligence in vehicle safety and risk management.
The opportunity
With an active FY2026–27 budget review underway and cooperative purchasing pathways available, this is a practical near-term window to close a clear operational gap with minimal procurement friction. Addressing fleet safety now reduces liability risk and positions the authority for stronger operational accountability ahead of the next budget cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Unresolved phone and internet connectivity issues, a meter reader system under investigation, and planned plant communications upgrades expose operational vulnerabilities and financial reporting risks. Without secure, reliable infrastructure, service continuity and governance accountability remain at risk.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–27 budget review and open grant windows—including programs that explicitly cover IT and cybersecurity enhancements—create a near-term funding pathway. Acting now aligns procurement with budget planning cycles and reduces operational and financial reporting risk before gaps escalate.
Meter Reading System Modernization
Utility Operations · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority has identified a recognized gap in its meter reading infrastructure and is actively evaluating replacement options to improve operational efficiency and service delivery. Without modernization, the authority risks continued inefficiencies, inaccurate billing, and degraded service reliability for ratepayers.
The opportunity
The concurrent FY2026–27 budget review creates a timely window to advance procurement, and cooperative contract vehicles may reduce administrative burden given the authority's low formal bid threshold. Acting now positions the authority to align capital investment with budget planning cycles and improve long-term utility stewardship.
