Emergency Operations Plan Development & Mass Notification Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan and relies on fragmented notification channels without local integration, creating gaps in public warning capability. NIMS compliance mandates and EOP readiness requirements are unmet, elevating operational and regulatory risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Adoption of the FEMA-approved County Hazard Mitigation Plan unlocks eligibility for federal preparedness and mitigation grant funding, with an approved CIP and dedicated budget line creating near-term alignment. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the township to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience ahead of the 2025–2026 planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Jerome Township's public-facing web presence has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its WordPress-based portal, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to digital services. These gaps represent a significant compliance mandate requiring remediation to reduce liability and restore inclusive service delivery.
The opportunity
The township's proposed governance modernization ballot measure (August 2026) creates a clear timing signal to advance digital infrastructure improvements now. Remediating accessibility gaps aligns with the broader modernization initiative, reduces legal risk, and may be procured through existing cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MiDEAL, minimizing administrative burden and local funding requirements.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No dash-cam or telematics solution is currently documented for township fleet operations, creating latent liability exposure during rural roadway emergency responses. Without real-time fleet visibility, operational accountability and incident documentation remain gaps that could escalate risk over time.
The opportunity
An approved capital improvement plan for 2025–2026 and access to cooperative purchasing programs provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path. Acting proactively addresses liability risk before an incident occurs and positions the township to leverage available funding in the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Website Security and IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's WordPress-based web environment and fragmented digital infrastructure present cybersecurity and endpoint management vulnerabilities. With a constrained annual IT budget near $50,000, unaddressed gaps in website security and document workflow create operational and compliance exposure for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The approved CIP for 2025–2026 and a governance modernization ballot measure signal emerging budget capacity for lightweight, high-impact IT security investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the township to align procurement through existing cooperative purchasing agreements and reduce risk before vulnerabilities escalate.
