Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing Emergency Operations Plan is 11 years old, far exceeding the recommended 2–4 year review cycle, and documented drills and exercises are lacking. These gaps create significant operational risk and leave the county out of alignment with required NIMS/HSEEP compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant programs directly fund emergency management planning and exercise initiatives, providing clear, accessible funding paths with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses overdue compliance requirements and meaningfully strengthens community preparedness and response capacity.
Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Digital Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Gladwin County faces active compliance mandates under WCAG/ADA Title II standards, with clear consequences for non-compliance affecting public-facing digital services. An ongoing transition to a managed hosting platform signals infrastructure change already in motion, making accessibility remediation both timely and operationally necessary.
The opportunity
ADA Title II enforcement timelines and an active website migration create a narrow, well-aligned window to embed accessibility standards into the new infrastructure from the outset. Acting now avoids costly retroactive remediation, reduces legal exposure, and ensures equitable public access—potentially eligible for state or federal digital equity funding in the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Patrol vehicles have sustained recurring damage from deer strikes and road hazards, resulting in deductibles, repair costs, and active risk management involvement. These unmitigated incidents represent a direct and ongoing financial liability for the county.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path that reduces administrative burden and supports budget stewardship. Addressing fleet safety proactively limits future repair costs, lowers insurance exposure, and strengthens operational continuity for public safety services.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Infrastructure & Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Ongoing camera system upgrades and dispatch equipment discussions point to underlying infrastructure gaps with cybersecurity implications. Without defined endpoint protections, county systems and sensitive public data remain exposed to evolving threats, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with public safety infrastructure — including HSGP, EMPG, and JAG — offer viable funding paths for cybersecurity improvements in the current cycle. Active IT procurement activity creates a natural window to layer in endpoint protections, reducing risk while maximizing existing budget momentum.
