Cybersecurity Services Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active, unmet RFP for comprehensive cybersecurity services, while critical financial system failures—including ACH/EFT reconciliation eight months behind and no general ledger entries since October—signal severe operational risk. Compliance mandates are driving urgency, and current IT service delivery is under active review for displacement.
The opportunity
The June 4, 2026 RFP deadline creates an immediate window to address unmet cybersecurity needs, with the FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program offering a viable funding path. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, stabilizes financial operations, and aligns with cooperative procurement options that can accelerate award timelines.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is unclear or outdated, with the foundational E-9-1-1 plan dating to 2008 and a fragmented mass notification system. Active NIMS and EOP compliance mandates expose the county to significant preparedness and regulatory risk, threatening coordinated emergency response for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Clear preparedness gaps and active compliance mandates make this a near-term priority. The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program aligns directly with emergency management needs, and a proposed $30M state investment in fire and emergency services provides a strong funding pathway with limited local match required.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has awarded a $239,400 contract to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan, signaling an active, funded initiative amid broader emergency preparedness gaps. Outdated planning documents and a fragmented mass notification system elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
With funding committed and planning underway, this is the optimal window to align complementary preparedness capabilities—including EOP updates and unified notification—before the current planning cycle closes. FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program funds are available and directly applicable to emergency management priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a unified mass notification system, creating a critical emergency preparedness gap. Fragmented communication during incidents limits effective public response and falls short of NIMS and modern emergency management standards.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance mandates and active state and federal funding opportunities — including the FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program — provide a clear, near-term path to address this gap. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens community resilience and reduces operational and compliance risk.

Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a federally mandated WCAG/ADA compliance deadline of 2027, requiring updates to public-facing digital assets and physical facilities such as marina infrastructure. Failure to act risks legal exposure, inequitable public access, and non-compliance with federal accessibility standards.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline creates a defined planning window that aligns with current fiscal cycles, allowing the county to phase investments responsibly. Accessibility improvements are broadly eligible for state and federal funding and directly advance equitable service delivery for all residents.
Emergency Vehicle Fleet Safety & Telematics Deployment
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Bootjack Fire Department currently operates its emergency vehicle fleet without telematics or dashcam capabilities, creating unmitigated safety risks for personnel and the public during emergency response. Fleet safety initiatives have been identified but remain unfunded, leaving the department exposed to liability and operational gaps.
The opportunity
The Michigan Fire Equipment Grant Program (deadline June 19, 2026), the department's existing FEMA grant-funded status, and a proposed $1.7B state allocation for local public safety create a compelling, near-term funding window. Acting now positions the department to close a critical safety gap while aligning with available grant cycles before the fiscal deadline.
