Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has experienced recent dispatch failures and widespread power outages, while operating with an understaffed, interim-led team. Explicit mandates for Michigan EOP compliance and NIMS adoption create direct liability exposure and risk of losing grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Significant public safety technology funding is already allocated, and federal grant programs provide clear pathways to address these gaps with limited local match. Acting within the current procurement cycle reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the jurisdiction to retain and expand grant eligibility.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Controls and IT Oversight
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's contracted IT environment spans backup, ransomware protection, antivirus, and Microsoft services, yet a financial irregularities audit has exposed gaps in access control and credential management. These weaknesses elevate operational and compliance risk across public-facing systems and internal workflows.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle and audit findings create a timely window to address internal controls before risk exposure grows. HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity investments, supporting action within the current fiscal planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have active WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gaps ahead of a firm 2026–2027 ADA deadline, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Existing document and digital workflow investments are underutilized without a coordinated compliance strategy.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 compliance deadline creates a defined procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, improves equitable public access, and positions the entity to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.

Fleet Safety · Public Works & Emergency Services
High Priority
About this project
Active procurement of snow trucks and heavy apparatus creates an immediate window to integrate telematics and fleet safety technology. Volunteer fire departments operating heavy vehicles carry inherent operational risk, and without preventative monitoring, liability exposure and incident costs remain unmitigated.
The opportunity
The current vehicle procurement cycle offers a cost-effective entry point for fleet safety solutions, with potential BRIC grant eligibility supporting funding. Acting within this active procurement window aligns investment with existing budget activity and reduces long-term operational and liability risk.
Strengthen Data Backup and Disaster Recovery Resilience
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Documented power outages and dispatch failures have exposed critical gaps in data protection and operational continuity, with ransomware and backup identified as active IT risk areas. Without validated recovery capabilities, public safety operations and essential services face significant disruption risk during future incidents.
The opportunity
Active IT contract reviews and existing IT budget create a timely window to consolidate and strengthen backup and recovery infrastructure. HSGP and BRIC grant programs may support infrastructure resilience investments, reducing local funding burden while advancing compliance and operational continuity goals.
