Emergency Operations Plan & Management Platform Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an overdue Emergency Operations Plan update, leadership continuity gaps following a recent fire chief transition, and active NIMS and Emergency Management Plan compliance mandates. Unresolved dispatching concerns and fragmented notification infrastructure elevate operational risk for the community.
The opportunity
New leadership creates an immediate opening to reassess emergency communications priorities, and the FM Fire Prevention Grant Program offers a direct conceptual funding path. Acting within the current budget decision window supports compliance, consolidates planning infrastructure, and strengthens community response readiness.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline by 2028, with no identified tooling currently in place for document accessibility remediation. Unaddressed gaps across digital portals expose the entity to legal and regulatory risk while limiting equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate provides a clear, non-negotiable deadline that makes early, phased remediation planning both fiscally responsible and operationally achievable. Acting now allows the entity to sequence remediation efforts, align with cooperative purchasing vehicles, and avoid the higher cost and legal exposure of last-minute compliance efforts.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates ten response units with aging assets and no documented telematics or dash camera systems, creating gaps in driver behavior monitoring, evidence capture, and risk management. Without proactive vehicle safety infrastructure, the department faces elevated liability exposure and limited visibility into fleet performance and incident documentation.
The opportunity
Fleet sustainment is an active strategic initiative, and cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. The PROTECT grant represents a potential funding pathway, particularly when pursued in coordination with the City, making this an opportune moment to advance the project within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & IT Management Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No acute cybersecurity mandates have been identified, but a recent leadership transition and heightened public accountability pressure create an opening to address IT management and credential security gaps. With a constrained technology budget, even targeted improvements carry meaningful risk-reduction value for the department.
The opportunity
The current leadership transition represents a near-term window to reassess security priorities, and JAG grant eligibility offers a viable funding path with limited local match required. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the department to reduce credential and access risk before gaps become liabilities.
