Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant regulatory exposure under Michigan's Publication 201 EOP review cycle and NIMS compliance mandates. With an Emergency Preparedness Score of 3 and frequent severe weather exposure, the gap poses direct risk to resident safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program offers a direct funding path, and dedicated public safety and fire fund appropriations confirm local budget alignment. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and reduces liability ahead of the next review cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently depends on an opt-in county alerting system with potential reach limitations and no dedicated mass-notification platform, leaving gaps in public coverage during emergencies. Frequent severe weather exposure and overdue Michigan EOP review requirements (Publication 201/NIMS) elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program offers a direct funding path for mass-notification and emergency preparedness improvements, reducing local budget burden. Dedicated public safety appropriations are already in place, cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement, and acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with compliance timelines and strengthens community-wide alerting outcomes.

Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a current, publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and faces recurring severe weather exposure, creating measurable preparedness gaps. Michigan's EOP review requirements (Publication 201) and NIMS compliance mandates elevate the urgency for a formalized Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program provides a direct funding pathway for hazard mitigation planning, with dedicated public safety budget appropriations available to support local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens compliance standing, reduces operational risk, and improves community resilience outcomes.

Discuss this project →County-Wide Transit Authority Formation & Fleet Management
Fleet Management · Public Transit
High Priority
About this project
The county is establishing a unified transit authority while managing active fleet operations, including specialized emergency vehicle acquisitions. Without centralized fleet visibility, operational gaps in routing, maintenance tracking, and asset accountability create risk for service continuity and public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
The transit authority formation creates a time-sensitive window to implement fleet management infrastructure before operations scale. Funding pathways such as the COPS TEP grant and dedicated public safety appropriations support investment now, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Health Department IT Modernization & Endpoint Security
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Health Department has launched an active technology modernization initiative to close software gaps and improve usability, but lacks centralized credential management and endpoint oversight. These systemic deficiencies elevate operational and security risk across public health staff and sensitive resident data.
The opportunity
An active, named modernization initiative creates a near-term procurement window aligned with current IT budget allocations exceeding $600K annually. Addressing endpoint and credential management gaps now supports compliance posture, reduces breach risk, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
