Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available EOP, operates on an outdated 2018 strategic plan, and relies on a limited notification platform without full EOC or incident coordination capability. Michigan PA 390 mandates EOP review and approval, creating an active compliance gap and measurable operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A February 2026 Fire Chief transition and the adoption of the 2026–2032 Capital Improvements Plan create an immediate window for reprioritization, with FY2026–2027 budget discussions underway. FEMA HSGP and BRIC grants are identified funding pathways, reducing local match burden and accelerating the path to compliance and operational readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's current mass notification capability is limited and lacks full emergency coordination features, leaving gaps in public alerting and EOP compliance under Michigan PA 390. This exposes the community to elevated risk during incidents and leaves the department out of alignment with state emergency management review requirements.
The opportunity
A Fire Chief leadership transition and the recently adopted 2026–2032 Capital Improvements Plan create an immediate window for procurement prioritization. FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, and cooperative procurement options can accelerate the process within the current budget planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Municipal Website WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Remediation
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The municipality's public-facing website has documented WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to digital services for residents. The current CMS is in place but has not resolved known accessibility deficiencies, leaving the issue unaddressed.
The opportunity
Remediation aligns with the active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and the recently adopted Capital Improvements Plan, creating a timely procurement window. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, broadens equitable service access, and may qualify for state or federal digital equity funding.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department operates heavy apparatus without telematics, leaving fleet activity unmonitored and exposing the agency to significant liability and asset-replacement cost risk. This proactive gap in safety and risk management creates operational vulnerability that grows alongside the fleet's capital value.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2032 Capital Improvements Plan creates a timely entry point to integrate telematics into capital project planning, and FEMA BRIC and HSGP grants may offer eligible funding pathways. Acting within the current budget and CIP cycle positions the agency to reduce liability, protect public assets, and strengthen operational accountability.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & IT Hygiene Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks remote monitoring and management (RMM) and enterprise credential management tools, creating foundational cybersecurity gaps. Without these controls, endpoints and access credentials remain unmonitored, elevating operational risk and exposure across public-sector systems.
The opportunity
The active Capital Improvements Plan and upcoming FY2026–2027 budget cycle create a timely window to address these greenfield gaps before risks compound. Investments in endpoint and credential management may align with state and federal funding pathways and support long-term IT resilience.
