Township Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Cleon Township lacks a documented township-level EOP, has no recorded exercises, and relies on county-level resources with identified local gaps. NIMS compliance is a standing mandate, and the absence of a township-specific plan creates measurable operational and regulatory risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant programs explicitly fund emergency operations and mass notification initiatives, creating a near-term, low local-match pathway to close preparedness gaps. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns with FY planning, supports NIMS compliance, and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on county-level mass notification, creating documented gaps in its ability to independently alert residents and staff during emergencies. This preparedness gap elevates operational and life-safety risk, particularly as severe weather and emergency events demand reliable, jurisdiction-controlled communication.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant programs explicitly identify mass notification systems as eligible equipment, offering a direct funding pathway with limited local match required. A newly appointed county Emergency Management Coordinator and active preparedness initiatives signal strong momentum for near-term action aligned with the current grant cycle.
Fire Station & Emergency Services Infrastructure Build-Out
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Cleon Township has identified construction of a new fire station and township hall as its top capital priority, with $150,000 in ARPA funding already secured. Significant gaps in emergency preparedness—including no township-level EOP, undocumented exercises, and limited mass notification coverage—elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Allocated ARPA funding and a regional fire initiative signal near-term capital readiness, with potential eligibility for additional emergency management grants such as EMPG and HSGP. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the township to address infrastructure needs and close preparedness gaps before funding timelines lapse.
Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a documented mandate to bring its public website and digital documents into WCAG/ADA compliance by April 26, 2027. Unresolved PDF and document remediation gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The 2027 compliance deadline establishes a clear planning window, and addressing remediation now avoids costly last-minute corrections and litigation risk. This project aligns with the township's existing website governance policy and may be eligible for state digital equity or accessibility funding in the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Fleet Safety · Fire & EMS Operations
High Priority
About this project
Fire apparatus and fleet vehicles currently lack dashcams and telematics, leaving driver behavior unmonitored and incident documentation gaps unaddressed. Without these safeguards, the township carries preventable liability exposure and limited visibility into apparatus safety performance.
The opportunity
Active fire station construction and a regional fire initiative create a natural budget conversation for apparatus safety technology during the current infrastructure investment cycle. ARPA-funded capital improvements and cooperative purchasing programs may provide accessible pathways to fund and procure fleet safety solutions with minimal procurement friction.
