Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Compliance & Risk Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
The Land Bank Authority lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, mass-notification enrollment, and formal exercises — gaps exposed by a recent ice storm that resulted in a FEMA denial. NIMS and Public Act 390 compliance mandates make formalizing an emergency management program both an operational and legal imperative.
The opportunity
Multiple FEMA-aligned grant programs with deadlines in July 2026 offer a near-term funding path requiring limited local match. Acting now leverages leadership momentum following the recent incident and positions the authority ahead of a potential millage reset that would further stabilize emergency management funding.
Enterprise Password Management Implementation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks a documented enterprise password manager, creating a significant credential security gap across the organization. Staff transitions — including the imminent departure of personnel managing critical license renewals — heighten the risk of access disruption and unauthorized credential exposure.
The opportunity
An upcoming staff change creates immediate urgency to formalize credential governance before institutional knowledge is lost. A proposed millage measure in August 2026, if approved, is expected to expand discretionary IT budget — making this fiscal cycle a strategic window to advance credential security investment.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A staff transition has created an immediate gap in VPN license management, putting remote access security and operational continuity at risk. This urgency is prompting a broader review of the county's IT security posture and compliance with access control requirements.
The opportunity
The near-term procurement trigger aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and potential budget increases, creating a timely window to address remote access gaps. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden on IT staff.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county operates an existing remote monitoring and management platform, but coverage gaps and a pending VPN renewal—complicated by a key staff departure—create immediate operational and security risk. Expanding the current platform footprint addresses continuity, access control, and IT governance across county operations.
The opportunity
A proposed millage reset in August 2026, if approved, would increase discretionary IT spending and support broader platform adoption. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the county to leverage existing infrastructure investments and reduce compounding risk ahead of the budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Website ADA Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Compliance & Legal Risk
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an approaching ADA compliance deadline for its public-facing website, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable digital access for residents. The current state of remediation is unclear, making timely assessment and corrective action critical to avoid enforcement risk.
The opportunity
An upcoming ADA compliance deadline creates near-term urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle, reducing legal liability and improving public service delivery. Cooperative procurement vehicles may streamline vendor selection, and accessibility improvements can align with broader digital equity and public trust goals.
