Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Horton Township lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a mass-notification system, and an updated county hazard-mitigation plan now approximately a decade overdue. Recent emergency declarations and a vacant emergency management leadership position compound compliance gaps, elevating risk to residents and operational continuity.
The opportunity
State revenue sharing allocations supporting public safety investments and an active leadership transition create an immediate window to address critical preparedness deficiencies. Acting now aligns with EOP compliance mandates, reduces liability exposure, and positions the township to leverage available public safety funding in the current fiscal cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing web presence currently meets only WCAG 2.0 standards, falling short of the ADA/WCAG 2.1 mandate required by April 24, 2027. With no remediation plan in place, the township faces growing legal exposure and risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
A firm federal compliance deadline creates a defined and urgent procurement window through 2026–2027. Acting now allows the township to sequence remediation responsibly, align with fiscal-year planning, and reduce legal and reputational risk before the deadline arrives.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
Horton Township lacks documented fleet safety technology while managing routine operational risks from winter maintenance and shared emergency response duties. Identified safety gaps in vehicle operations elevate risk to staff and the public, and the absence of telematics visibility limits accountability and incident response.
The opportunity
A pre-approved 2026 Vehicles & Equipment Replacement Reserve provides an immediate funding path, and the JAG grant—open to units of government—explicitly permits fleet telematics investments, offering a supplemental mechanism. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the township to close safety gaps before the next winter operations season.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township's IT management and cybersecurity posture presents consolidation gaps, with limited visibility into software spend and system coverage. Without structured oversight, public data and operational continuity remain exposed to growing cyber threats targeting local government.
The opportunity
The JAG grant explicitly permits IT management and cybersecurity investments, offering a low- or no-cost funding path aligned with the current grant window. Acting within this fiscal cycle enables the township to close coverage gaps, reduce operational risk, and strengthen public trust in government systems.
