Emergency Operations Plan & Local Mass Notification Build-Out
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a dedicated Emergency Operations Plan and depends on county-level mass notification, reducing local control during critical incidents. Recent severe weather events have exposed resource shortfalls, elevating operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding is available for emergency communications and preparedness infrastructure, aligning with the township's active participation in the County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance gaps, strengthens local response capacity, and reduces reliance on county systems.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township is actively transitioning to a new website vendor while under compliance pressure from ADA and WCAG accessibility mandates, including a USDA audit requiring a language and grievance plan. Gaps in accessible digital services elevate legal and reputational risk and limit equitable public access to government information.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates and an ongoing website transition create a near-term window to embed accessibility standards before the new platform is fully deployed. Addressing this now reduces audit exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with the current annual budget cycle when IT expenditures have board support.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a confirmed password management solution and operates a fragmented security environment with no dominant security tooling in place. An active cybersecurity proposal signals awareness of the gap, but without foundational controls, public systems and sensitive data remain at operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS TEP grant programs represent a direct funding path for IT management and cybersecurity initiatives, aligning with the township's current budget cycle and demonstrated willingness to invest in security. Acting now positions the township to close critical gaps before the next fiscal planning window closes.
Fire Apparatus Acquisition with Fleet Safety Controls
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township is acquiring a new fire truck in 2025 with no documented fleet risk-control program, dash-camera deployment, or telematics oversight. Operating emergency vehicles without structured safety monitoring creates liability exposure and operational risk for the municipality and the residents it serves.
The opportunity
The active apparatus procurement creates a time-sensitive window to integrate fleet safety controls before vehicle delivery, avoiding costly retrofits. Bundling telematics into the acquisition aligns with the current capital cycle and supports responsible stewardship of public safety assets.
