Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Town currently has no Town-specific Emergency Operations Plan, no mass-notification system, and no designated emergency management coordinator — critical gaps that elevate resident risk during severe events. Active mandates for EOP development and NIMS adoption remain unmet, creating significant compliance and operational exposure.
The opportunity
A confirmed $50,000 Emergency Management budget line in the proposed FY 2026–2027 budget, with a public hearing on September 22, 2026, creates a clear and immediate funding window. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance liability, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with cooperative purchasing pathways that can accelerate procurement.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
The Town faces a passed cybersecurity training compliance deadline, with potential felony-level consequences for continued non-compliance. Fragmented credential and access management tooling compounds the legal and operational risk to staff and public systems.
The opportunity
The passed deadline creates immediate legal urgency, and the FY 2026–2027 budget includes allocated IT and security funding. Acting before the September 22, 2026 budget hearing positions the Town to remediate compliance gaps and protect public infrastructure within existing appropriations.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Town is subject to a WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility mandate with no current compliance in place, exposing residents to access barriers and the municipality to legal liability. Without remediation, digital content and public-facing portals remain inaccessible to individuals with disabilities, creating equity and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The Town's active "General digital and connectivity support" initiative signals planned investment, and the upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a timely window to fund remediation before the compliance deadline. Addressing this now reduces legal exposure, improves equitable resident access, and aligns with existing digital modernization priorities.

IT Modernization · Network Security
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented IT and WiFi/security tooling creates administrative gaps and uneven oversight across systems, including newly added endpoints from a funded SCADA and water-system controls modernization. Without centralized administration and security monitoring, operational continuity and infrastructure integrity are at risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated FY 2026–2027 budget lines for IT support and WiFi/security are confirmed, with a public budget hearing on September 22, 2026 serving as a near-term decision milestone. Acting within this cycle enables consolidation of fragmented tooling, reduces operational risk, and aligns spending with already-approved appropriations.

Discuss this project →Fleet Visibility & Telematics Pilot Program
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The town faces three identified operational safety risks—limited fleet visibility, equipment lifecycle uncertainty, and insurance cost ambiguity—without confirmed incidents to date. Addressing these gaps proactively reduces exposure before risks escalate into liability or unplanned capital costs.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program offers a potential funding pathway for telematics tied to evacuation-route resilience, with the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle approaching. A pilot initiative now can establish baseline data and build the case for broader adoption with minimal upfront local investment.
