Web Accessibility & Digital Self-Service Modernization
Digital Accessibility · Civic Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Town of Burns faces a hard compliance deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards for its public website and digital documents by April 2027–2028. The current digital experience is fragmented, creating resident access gaps and meaningful legal and operational risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
A budget-approved initiative for online municipal payments and digital self-service modernization signals near-term procurement readiness and executive sponsorship. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the Town to meet its compliance mandate, close resident service gaps, and leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline procurement.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Town lacks a publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan and has not secured available EMPG funding, while current mass notification coverage relies on a county-level regional system with unconfirmed municipal reach. These gaps elevate operational and life-safety risk for residents and first responders, particularly as leadership transitions create uncertainty around existing preparedness commitments.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 EMPG Program explicitly funds emergency management, interoperable communications, and mass-notification infrastructure, offering a viable path to close preparedness gaps with limited local match. An ongoing leadership transition creates a timely opening to re-evaluate current systems and establish a dedicated municipal solution before the next budget cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Works
High Priority
About this project
The Town's aging fleet lacks collision evidence monitoring, telematics, and documentation controls, creating measurable gaps in safety assurance and operational accountability. A diesel-emissions reduction and fleet modernization effort has been identified as a funded strategic initiative, with budget already allocated to address these deficiencies.
The opportunity
With funding already in place, procurement risk and budget uncertainty are significantly reduced, making this an actionable initiative within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now closes safety monitoring gaps, advances emissions compliance mandates, and positions the Town to demonstrate responsible stewardship of public assets.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Town currently lacks identified cybersecurity, password management, and endpoint management programs, leaving resident data and public services exposed to significant operational and security risk. This foundational gap in IT infrastructure represents a critical vulnerability for a municipal entity with public-facing service obligations.
The opportunity
With no incumbent solutions to displace, this is a greenfield opportunity aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle and eligible for secondary funding through the FY 2026 EMPG Program for cybersecurity equipment. Leadership transition creates openness to new security initiatives, making now an ideal time to establish baseline protections.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The municipality has no identified password management program in place, creating a discrete and documented security risk for staff credentials and internal systems. This standalone gap increases exposure to unauthorized access and undermines broader cybersecurity posture across municipal operations.
The opportunity
With no incumbent solution and leadership in transition, this is a low-friction entry point for a foundational security control ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. The FY 2026 EMPG Program may offer secondary funding eligibility for cybersecurity-related initiatives, reducing local budget burden.
