Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps at the Township Level
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a township-level mass notification system, and documented exercise activity—relying entirely on county infrastructure for emergency alerts. NIMS implementation, required for preparedness funding eligibility, remains unaddressed, elevating both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active grant pathways—including HSGP, BRIC, and JAG—are available now, and a newly appointed Clerk overseeing grant and ARPA funding creates a near-term decision window. Addressing these gaps strengthens resident safety, satisfies NIMS compliance, and positions the township to capture available federal and state preparedness funding.
Achieve WCAG 2.1 AA Digital Accessibility Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified active gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and equity risk for residents who rely on accessible online services. A stated strategic commitment to remediation signals urgency, while unresolved gaps leave the township vulnerable to ADA-related complaints and compliance findings.
The opportunity
A leadership transition in the Clerk's office creates an immediate window to advance accessibility remediation aligned with the township's stated compliance goals. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and the project is well-positioned for the current fiscal planning cycle, reducing both timeline and budget risk.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Program
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently operates municipal vehicles without a telematics or dashcam program, leaving driver behavior unmonitored and safety practices undocumented. This gap creates liability exposure and the absence of a baseline compliance framework for fleet operations.
The opportunity
The COPS TEP grant provides an identified funding pathway for fleet telematics initiatives, offering a low-barrier entry point for establishing a documented safety program. Acting within the current grant window allows the township to build a compliance baseline while minimizing local budget impact.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Larkin Charter Township is actively evaluating IT configuration changes, signaling emerging gaps in identity and credential management and endpoint security. Without structured cybersecurity controls, township systems and resident data face growing exposure and operational risk.
The opportunity
Freed budget from a declined land purchase, combined with JAG grant eligibility and cooperative purchasing vehicles, creates a near-term window to act. Addressing these gaps now supports the incoming Clerk's grant management responsibilities and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
