Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has documented emergency preparedness gaps—including unresolved exercise remediation items, NIMS compliance requirements, and high staff turnover—while operating a fragmented notification setup separate from county systems. A recent tornado alert exposed alerting infrastructure vulnerabilities, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026, an active county $500K grant application, and an upcoming FY26–27 budget cycle create a narrow window to act. An audit plan specifically flagging Emergency Preparedness adds compliance urgency, and Sourcewell membership supports streamlined, cost-effective procurement.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
State and county budget signals indicate active investment in situational awareness, with grants earmarked for critical-incident mapping and Sheriff's Office public safety needs. Gaps in unified alerting, NIMS compliance remediation, and emergency preparedness continuity elevate operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Identified state and county grant funding—including a $400K critical-incident mapping allocation and a $52K public safety grant—creates a near-term, funded procurement window ahead of FY26-27 budget finalization. Acting within the current cycle aligns investment with active E-911 planning, audit findings in emergency preparedness, and imminent grant deadlines, maximizing public safety outcomes with available funding.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing website lacks an accessibility statement, falling short of WCAG 2.1 AA standards already adopted at the county level. This gap creates legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limits equitable digital access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Upcoming FY26–27 budget hearings and an active audit plan that includes procurement and preparedness reviews create strong timing to address this gap before a formal finding is issued. Acting now reduces compliance risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns remediation costs with the current budget cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Existing cybersecurity services provide a baseline posture, but no formal audit finding or mandate has confirmed whether credential management and endpoint security meet current standards. Without documented controls, the township faces latent risk to public data and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 COPS TEP and HSGP grant windows identify cybersecurity as an eligible category, aligning with the upcoming budget cycle and FY26–27 planning hearings. Formalizing credential and endpoint security now reduces audit exposure and positions the township to leverage available public safety funding.
FY 2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The fire fleet currently lacks telematics or vehicle monitoring capabilities, creating unmitigated risk around emergency-response driving incidents and operational blind spots. Fleet modernization is included in the 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan, signaling recognized need but no near-term action yet taken.
The opportunity
FY 2026 grant programs supporting vehicles and public safety equipment offer a near-term funding pathway to accelerate what is otherwise a long-horizon CIP item. Acting within the current grant window reduces future capital burden and closes a measurable safety gap before an incident occurs.
