Emergency Operations Plan and Alert System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a mass-notification system — three critical gaps elevating operational and compliance risk. Active NIMS implementation and EOP/exercise management mandates make these deficiencies an immediate liability for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP and BRIC) create a 90-day decision window with available funding to address preparedness gaps at limited local cost. Acting now aligns with the township's Hazard Mitigation Plan commitments and reduces compliance exposure before the next audit cycle.
Mass Notification & Public Alert System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks any mass-notification or public alert capability, representing a critical gap in emergency preparedness alongside an absent Emergency Operations Plan. With county-level emergency management operating separately, the township faces unmet obligations under NIMS compliance and leaves residents without a direct warning channel during emergencies.
The opportunity
Grant funding through HSGP and BRIC programs, with deadlines approaching in July 2026, may substantially offset implementation costs with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window aligns with the township's active Hazard Mitigation Plan participation and closes a compliance gap before the next audit cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's website must meet WCAG 2.1/ADA compliance standards by April 2027, with early signals pointing to an April 2026 milestone. Current reliance on downloadable forms reflects a digital services gap that elevates accessibility risk for residents and creates exposure to compliance findings.
The opportunity
A firm compliance deadline and explicit budget language mandating ADA-compliant web improvements create a clear, near-term procurement window. Available ARPA funds and cooperative purchasing vehicles support cost-effective action ahead of the fiscal deadline.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Budget language explicitly mandates the addition of security measures, yet annual IT spend totals just $2,709, signaling a minimal existing security posture. This leaves endpoints and credentials significantly exposed, creating operational and public-trust risk for the township.
The opportunity
TEP and JAG grant deadlines in July 2026 offer an externally funded path to close critical security gaps within the current 90-day window. Acting now aligns with the budget mandate, leverages available grant dollars, and reduces the risk of a costly incident before the next fiscal cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
A citizen-initiated audit request has surfaced roadway safety concerns, fire department equipment maintenance gaps, and limited in-vehicle video and telematics coverage. These active risk factors expose the township to operational liability and underscore the need for structured driver and vehicle safety monitoring.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements such as MiDEAL may streamline procurement within the township's modest budget and low purchasing thresholds, reducing barriers to action. Addressing fleet visibility gaps now supports public safety outcomes and positions the township ahead of its annual budget and audit cycle.
