Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated local emergency coordinator, and documented exercises — creating direct exposure under NIMS compliance mandates. A newly appointed county Emergency Management Coordinator signals active pressure to close these gaps within a near-term window.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP, EMPG, and BRIC are available to fund preparedness and hazard mitigation initiatives, and adoption of the Mason County Hazard Mitigation Plan is a prerequisite for eligibility. Acting within the next 90 days aligns with new leadership momentum and positions the township to access funding while meeting compliance obligations.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Adoption & Local Implementation
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has prioritized adoption of the Mason County Hazard Mitigation Plan but lacks the local infrastructure to implement it. Without formal adoption, the township remains ineligible for key federal preparedness and mitigation grants, and documented gaps in local emergency coordination elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Formal plan adoption unlocks eligibility for federal mitigation and preparedness funding, including active grant pathways aligned with current planning cycles. New county emergency management leadership creates a favorable window to align local implementation with county-level priorities and close documented preparedness gaps.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a documented dashcam or telematics program, leaving fleet operations without incident documentation or fault dispute capabilities. Rural road conditions elevate crash risk for public works staff and residents, creating measurable operational safety gaps.
The opportunity
Existing intergovernmental agreements with the county may support a cooperative purchasing pathway, reducing procurement timelines and local cost burden. Addressing fleet safety now strengthens staff protection, improves liability documentation, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Strengthen Credential Security to Reduce Cyber Risk
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a centralized password management solution, creating a measurable credential-security gap. Concurrent procurement activity in broadband, IT, and surveillance infrastructure increases exposure to credential-based threats and unauthorized access risks.
The opportunity
Secondary funding paths through homeland security and emergency preparedness grant programs may support cybersecurity investments, aligning with the current procurement cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces operational risk and positions the township ahead of potential compliance mandates tied to NIMS and broader IT security standards.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital presence has an identified gap in meeting WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating barriers for residents with disabilities. Without remediation, the township faces compliance exposure and risks excluding community members from essential government services online.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 mandates create a defined, near-term remediation window aligned with the current fiscal planning cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal and compliance risk while improving equitable service delivery for all residents.
