Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance risk under Michigan MSP/EMHSD Pub. 201 review requirements and potential loss of grant eligibility. Recent leadership transitions signal readiness to close this gap before it affects funding or operational response capacity.
The opportunity
FEMA FY2026 grant windows closing in July 2026 create near-term urgency to establish a compliant EOP and mass notification capability, with strong alignment to HSGP and BRIC funding. Acting now protects grant eligibility, reduces compliance exposure, and positions the department for sustained emergency preparedness investment.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, limiting timely outreach to residents and staff during emergencies. This gap, combined with overdue Emergency Operations Plan compliance requirements under Michigan MSP/EMHSD Pub. 201, elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Alignment with county hazard mitigation planning and the FEMA FY2026 grant deadline in July 2026 creates a near-term funding and procurement window. Acting now supports compliance, strengthens community warning capabilities, and positions the township to secure available emergency management funding before the cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two documented patrol vehicle damage incidents and a confirmed absence of fleet safety technology expose the department to operational, liability, and safety risks. Interest in dash cameras and license plate recognition signals a broader gap in vehicle oversight that requires immediate attention.
The opportunity
Active capital planning discussions and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement without lengthy bid cycles, while a potential EV-related grant may offset telematics adoption costs. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure, improves officer safety, and aligns with the current budget planning cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance deadlines in 2026–2027, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access to digital services. An ongoing transition to a managed hosting environment adds urgency to remediating accessibility gaps before deadlines take effect.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 compliance window is defined and approaching, making the current fiscal cycle the right time to act before remediation costs and legal risk escalate. This effort aligns with active digital modernization work and may be eligible for state or federal accessibility funding support.
