Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, depends entirely on county-level mass notification, and has no documented exercises or After-Action Reviews. Approval of the Mason County Hazard Mitigation Plan is required to maintain Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant eligibility, creating a direct compliance and funding risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle opens a clear spending window, and federal grant programs support emergency preparedness initiatives with established funding pathways. Acting now preserves grant eligibility, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens community resilience before the next hazard event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-provided mass notification system, limiting its ability to alert residents independently during emergencies. This reliance represents a documented preparedness gap, and the absence of a standalone alerting capability elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–2027 budget and available emergency management grant funding create a clear window to act. Establishing an independent notification capability now strengthens compliance posture, supports Hazard Mitigation Plan obligations, and ensures residents receive timely, reliable alerts without dependency on county systems.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a board-mandated deadline to deliver accessible digital documents by April 2026 and must meet WCAG 2.1 standards for its public-facing website. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to government services.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–2027 budget includes confirmed funding for a new website and ADA document compliance, creating a clear and immediate spending window. Acting ahead of the April 2026 deadline reduces legal risk and ensures residents receive equitable, uninterrupted access to public information.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified fleet safety risks tied to increasing vehicle activity from planned road construction projects, with liability exposure cited as a key operational driver. Without telematics and dashcam infrastructure in place, the township faces elevated risk during a period of heightened fleet demand.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–2027 budget includes significant road project funding, creating a direct spending window for fleet safety investments, with the COPS TEP grant identified as an applicable funding source. Acting within this cycle allows the township to reduce liability exposure, improve driver accountability, and leverage cooperative procurement to streamline acquisition.
