Emergency Operations Plan Development and Local EM Framework
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has no publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and lacks Lima-specific emergency management documentation, creating significant regulatory exposure under NIMS implementation and EOP review cycle mandates. Continued reliance on county and state responders without a local framework elevates operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant pathways are available to fund local emergency management planning, and a near-term decision window makes this the right moment to act. Establishing a compliant EOP now reduces regulatory liability, strengthens local response capacity, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on a county-operated notification platform and a limited local email signup, leaving residents and staff without a dedicated, township-controlled alert capability. This gap creates operational risk during emergencies and conflicts with NIMS compliance and EOP review obligations.
The opportunity
Active FEMA BRIC and HSGP funding windows present a timely pathway to offset implementation costs with limited local match required. Establishing township-owned notification capability now reduces county dependency, strengthens compliance posture, and improves emergency response outcomes ahead of the 90-day decision window.

Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township faces unresolved WCAG/ADA compliance obligations across its public-facing web presence and digital documents, with no documented remediation progress. Gaps in accessible content—including PDFs—expose the township to legal risk and limit equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
An active website renovation creates a practical, lower-cost entry point to embed accessibility compliance into ongoing work rather than address it retroactively. Acting within the current project window reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and avoids costlier remediation in a future budget cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Pilot
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a documented fleet management or telemetry solution, creating measurable gaps in emergency fleet readiness and exposure to workers' compensation audit risk. A targeted pilot focused on dash cams and telematics is recommended to address these operational vulnerabilities.
The opportunity
The annual contract renewal window closing before mid-2027 creates near-term procurement urgency, and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) offers a potential funding pathway for fleet technology. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports responsible stewardship and reduces operational and liability risk.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & Credential Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township currently has no documented endpoint management or credential security solution in place, leaving systems and sensitive data exposed to unauthorized access and breach risk. With no active IT modernization initiative underway, this unaddressed gap represents a growing operational and cybersecurity liability for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant offers an eligible funding pathway for this category, and low procurement thresholds may allow a pilot to advance quickly within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now closes a critical security gap before it becomes a compliance or incident-response liability.
