Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent ambulance totaling incident—compounded by a prior crash involving the same vehicle—has created an urgent need for fleet telematics and driver safety technology. With new ambulance acquisitions underway and a planned service expansion, the authority faces growing operational risk without supporting fleet management infrastructure.
The opportunity
An upcoming millage vote and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a clear funding and procurement pathway to act within the current budget cycle. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure, supports safe service expansion, and positions the authority to steward public resources responsibly.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical gap in operational readiness tied to NIMS standards, EOP requirements, and Public Act 57 of 1988. With an emergency preparedness gap rated at high severity, the absence of documented protocols and mass-notification capabilities poses significant compliance and continuity risk.
The opportunity
Grant funding windows in July 2026, including Homeland Security and hazard mitigation programs, offer a near-term pathway to fund this initiative with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses non-discretionary compliance mandates, reduces operational liability, and strengthens the authority's readiness to protect the communities it serves.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No documented mass-notification system is in place, and HSEEP-style exercise records are limited, leaving a critical gap in public communication and emergency preparedness. This deficiency creates significant operational and compliance risk under NIMS, EOP requirements, and Public Act 57 of 1988.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with emergency management and public safety—with deadlines approaching in July 2026—offer a funded pathway to close this gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window directly advances the authority's core public safety mission and reduces compliance exposure.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces a mandated website accessibility remediation deadline of April 29, 2027, creating defined legal compliance exposure. Failure to act risks public-facing digital services falling out of compliance, limiting equitable access for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The fixed 2027 deadline establishes a clear, plannable procurement window with a non-discretionary compliance driver that reduces budget justification risk. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for assessment, remediation, and validation before the mandate takes effect.
