Emergency Operations Plan Development & Committee Setup
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This jurisdiction lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and has not completed required committee structures (LPT, LEPC, EOC), placing it out of compliance with Michigan Emergency Management Act mandates. Warming shelter operations remain unresolved, compounding legal exposure and community safety risk.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—offer a clear funding path with an active deadline, reducing the local budget burden. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and reduces operational and legal risk.
Fleet Safety Telematics & Vehicle Replacement
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has experienced multiple serious safety incidents—including two demolished patrol vehicles and a deputy injured on duty—while aging Road Commission trucks and failing dash cameras compound operational risk. Vehicle replacement reserves are an active strategic initiative, signaling near-term procurement planning is underway.
The opportunity
Operational pain is high and immediate, with vehicle replacement reserves already identified as a funded priority. Acting within the current fiscal cycle enables the agency to reduce liability exposure, improve driver safety outcomes, and leverage cooperative purchasing agreements to streamline procurement and maximize public dollars.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital properties have identified gaps in WCAG and ADA accessibility requirements, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to services for residents. Unresolved compliance deficiencies elevate the risk of complaints, audits, and potential litigation.
The opportunity
With compliance mandates scored at high urgency and the township already modernizing digital permitting workflows, this is an actionable moment to remediate accessibility gaps in a phased, severity-based approach. Addressing these issues now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.
Mass Notification & Communications Resilience Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified communications and mass-notification resilience as a high-priority strategic initiative, yet current coverage and capability gaps remain. Without a fully documented EOP and reliable notification infrastructure, residents and staff face elevated risk during emergencies, and Michigan Emergency Management Act compliance obligations go unmet.
The opportunity
Active inclusion in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan and alignment with current FEMA preparedness grant cycles (HSGP, BRIC, EMPG) create a timely funding pathway with limited local match required. Addressing gaps now strengthens compliance posture, supports EOP development, and improves community-wide emergency response outcomes.
Strengthening Cybersecurity and Identity Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
With an annual IT spend of approximately $6,300, this township likely relies on minimal or legacy cybersecurity tooling, leaving credentials, systems, and public data exposed. Limited internal capacity increases the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and non-compliance with state security expectations.
The opportunity
State-level grants and cooperative purchasing vehicles offer accessible, low-barrier funding paths to close critical security gaps without straining the local budget. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to protect public data, reduce operational risk, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of community assets.
