Emergency Operations Plan Development and Formalization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Town lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical compliance gap tied to NIMS adoption requirements for federal grant eligibility. Recent severe weather events have exposed coordination deficiencies, and leadership transitions among Police and Fire Chiefs add urgency to formalizing emergency protocols.
The opportunity
New public safety leadership and strong General Fund reserves ($7M+) create a strategic window for discretionary investment in emergency preparedness. Acting within the current budget cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and positions the Town to maintain federal grant eligibility.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Carroll County EMA's active "Alerts Coming Soon" status signals a critical public alerting gap, compounded by a legacy notification system in need of consolidation. Documented severe weather events and NIMS compliance obligations elevate the operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
New public safety leadership and a county-led EOC coordination initiative create a timely opening to advance resident-facing alerting capabilities. The Town's strong General Fund reserves support near-term discretionary investment, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement within the current budget cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Town's City Garage has received two serious OSHA citations tied to maintenance workflow and safety compliance, with no fleet camera or telematics system in place. This gap creates ongoing compliance liability and operational risk for staff, vehicles, and the public.
The opportunity
Active OSHA citations provide a defensible, audit-supported justification for fleet safety investment, and the Town's strong General Fund reserves support discretionary action within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use can streamline procurement and reduce time to implementation.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Town's public-facing WordPress site has not achieved WCAG compliance, leaving residents—including those with disabilities—without equitable digital access. Despite an active ADA Advisory Committee, remediation remains incomplete, creating legal exposure and ongoing barriers to public services.
The opportunity
With an ADA Advisory Committee already in place and strong General Fund reserves, the Town is well-positioned to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing WCAG compliance now reduces legal risk, advances the Town's broader accessibility commitments, and supports equitable resident access to public information.
