Emergency Operations Center Build-Out and Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has a funded, top-priority initiative to construct a new Emergency Operations/911 Center, alongside identified preparedness gaps including an unverified EOP review cycle, absence of HSEEP-style exercises, and active mass-notification system transition. NIMS adoption and EOP review compliance mandates elevate operational and regulatory risk during this period of change.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator signals fresh initiative momentum, and dedicated federal funding paths — including HSGP, BRIC, and FEMA/EMPG FY2026 — are available to offset local costs. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns capital investment with compliance requirements and strengthens countywide emergency readiness.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is mid-transition between two mass-notification platforms, creating operational complexity and potential gaps in public alerting during emergencies. This split ecosystem elevates compliance risk under NIMS and EOP review mandates, and threatens continuity of resident notifications during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Active system transition creates an immediate window to consolidate platforms, reduce redundancy, and close notification gaps before the next emergency event. Federal preparedness funding—including HSGP and EMPG—is available this fiscal cycle, and addressing this now supports compliance, operational readiness, and responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active fleet management evaluation underway with no current telematics vendor in place. The absence of in-vehicle dash-cams and telematics for cruisers, combined with high-speed pursuit exposure and county-level self-insurance, creates measurable liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
A Michigan Transportation Alternative Program grant provides a targeted funding path, and an active evaluation signals high-intent and near-term procurement readiness. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces risk exposure and aligns with cooperative purchasing options that can accelerate procurement timelines.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified gaps in WCAG 2.0 A/AA and WCAG 2.1 compliance across public-facing web portals, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. While a remediation plan is noted, compliance risk persists until full implementation is complete.
The opportunity
Web accessibility mandates carry ongoing legal and reputational risk for public entities, and addressing gaps aligns with equitable service delivery obligations. Acting within the current fiscal cycle leverages existing CMS infrastructure to reduce remediation cost and timeline.
Cybersecurity & Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county operates under active cybersecurity and password management mandates within a Microsoft 365 environment, creating compliance obligations around credential security and endpoint oversight. Without clearly documented controls in place, the county faces audit exposure and operational risk across departments relying on shared infrastructure.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS Office Technology and Equipment Program grant provides a direct, eligible funding pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, aligning with the current budget cycle. Acting now allows the county to satisfy compliance mandates, reduce credential and endpoint risk, and leverage cooperative purchasing to accelerate procurement.
