Emergency Operations Plan Development & Governance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town lacks a verifiable, publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, with no evidence of a recent EOP review, exposing gaps in NIMS-aligned planning and Tennessee's local emergency management framework. Recent incidents—including a wildfire and ice storm—revealed critical communication weaknesses and have generated sustained public pressure to act.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget was approved in May 2026, creating an active fiscal window, and streamlined procurement thresholds support phased implementation without a formal bid process. Addressing EOP governance now reduces compliance and operational risk while aligning with public safety funding pathways available in the current budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town has no dedicated mass notification capability, and recent wildfire and ice storm events exposed critical communication gaps that generated public pressure. Current reliance on third-party website alerts and county 911 dispatch leaves residents without a direct, municipal-controlled emergency communication channel, elevating both operational and compliance risk under Tennessee's emergency management framework.
The opportunity
With the FY 2026–2027 budget recently approved and cooperative purchasing vehicles available, the town is well-positioned to act without a lengthy procurement process. Closing this gap now strengthens NIMS-aligned readiness, addresses documented EOP deficiencies, and delivers on public expectations for reliable emergency communication.

Fleet Management · Public Accountability
High Priority
About this project
A 2023 audit flagged gaps in fleet fuel-use recordkeeping, signaling accountability and oversight deficiencies. An emerging micro-mobility enforcement program—covering e-bikes, scooters, and similar vehicles—may further expand fleet oversight requirements without a supporting management framework in place.
The opportunity
With the FY 2026–2027 budget recently approved and state grant funding potentially available, the upcoming fiscal cycle offers a practical entry point to address audit findings and build scalable fleet oversight before micro-mobility enforcement demands increase operational complexity.
