Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Land Bank lacks an agency-specific Emergency Operations Plan, and existing EOP review dates are unknown — a direct gap against Michigan's mandated EOP review requirements. Recent leadership turnover in county emergency management and active severe weather declarations compound operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active EMPG and HSGP funding create near-term, grant-eligible paths to close preparedness gaps with limited local match required. An ongoing leadership transition opens a timely window for new decision-makers to prioritize compliance, strengthen community resilience, and align investments with the current grant cycle.
Mass Notification System Consolidation and Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's emergency alert program operates across a fragmented, split notification ecosystem, limiting the integration needed for reliable, comprehensive public communications during emergencies. Leadership turnover in emergency management and unresolved EOP review requirements elevate both operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Michigan EOP review mandates, active EMPG and HSGP grant funding, and an incoming county administration create a timely window to consolidate and strengthen emergency communications. Acting now aligns with fiscal planning cycles, reduces compliance exposure, and positions the county for improved public safety outcomes.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Through Enterprise Password Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has an identified compliance gap in enterprise password management, lacking verified MFA enforcement and audit trail capabilities. Grant data security requirements and an active Technology Modernization initiative signal an incomplete security posture that elevates operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP, EMPG, and COPS Office TEP offer viable funding paths for cybersecurity tools, and the county's active IT modernization initiative provides executive alignment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens data security across grant-funded programs.
Modernizing County Endpoint and IT Operations Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's technology modernization initiative has surfaced gaps in unified endpoint oversight and IT operations management across a fragmented environment. Without consolidated visibility and controls, the county faces elevated cybersecurity risk, compliance exposure, and operational inefficiencies that affect service delivery and grant-funded program integrity.
The opportunity
Active grant funding—including a $708K CDBG award and increased Health Department appropriations—creates budget pathways for IT infrastructure investment beyond core IT spend. Addressing endpoint and operations gaps now aligns with the current fiscal cycle and supports compliance requirements tied to grant administration and cybersecurity mandates.
Countywide Transit Fleet Management Modernization
Fleet Operations · Public Transit
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified creation of a countywide transit authority as a top strategic priority, with an existing Motor Pool and active fleet-related procurements signaling operational readiness. Without a unified fleet management system, gaps in oversight, safety accountability, and operational efficiency pose growing risk to service delivery and public trust.
The opportunity
This initiative carries the highest urgency rating among current county priorities, and federal funding through the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG program offers a viable path to offset costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to accelerate procurement, reduce operational risk, and deliver measurable public transportation outcomes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces documented gaps in WCAG 2.1 web accessibility and public-facing document compliance, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to government services. Active grant administration activity—including CDBG and Blight Elimination Program deadlines—amplifies the urgency of ensuring digital information meets federal accessibility standards.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates make this a non-discretionary priority, and active grant spending timelines create a near-term window to address accessibility gaps alongside existing digital infrastructure investments. Resolving these gaps reduces legal risk, supports equitable public service delivery, and may align with cooperative procurement vehicles already in use by the county.
