Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county-level mass notification with unclear local coverage, and has no documented exercises or after-action reports. NIMS and EOP compliance is mandated by Michigan EMHSD guidance, and noncompliance risks loss of preparedness grant funding—a risk heightened by a recent major disaster declaration in Michigan.
The opportunity
Active federal preparedness grant programs, including EMPG-aligned funding, support EOP development and NIMS compliance with limited local match required. Addressing these gaps now protects grant eligibility, reduces operational and liability risk, and strengthens the township's alignment with the Lenawee County Hazard Mitigation Plan ahead of the next funding cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing website does not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating legal exposure under ADA requirements and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. Digital governance capacity is thin, with website maintenance currently handled by temporary staff rather than a dedicated resource.
The opportunity
ADA-driven accessibility mandates create a clear, near-term compliance deadline that elevates procurement urgency. Addressing this gap now reduces legal liability, improves resident service delivery, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle — with remediation efforts potentially eligible for state technology or equity-focused funding programs.

IT Modernization · Government Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township has placed a BS&A Cloud Platform Upgrade on its June 2026 agenda, signaling an imminent decision on a core government software transition. Delaying or mismanaging this upgrade risks operational disruption to finance, assessing, and utility billing functions that residents and staff depend on daily.
The opportunity
The June 2026 agenda placement creates a defined, near-term procurement window aligned with the current operating budget cycle. Acting now allows the township to sequence complementary infrastructure or security improvements alongside the upgrade, maximizing efficiency and stewardship of public funds.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a unified fleet management system for DPW and related vehicles, creating gaps in operational visibility, driver accountability, and liability exposure. Recent investment in police in-car cameras signals readiness for broader safety technology adoption across the fleet.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement vehicles can streamline acquisition and reduce costs, while programs such as the COPS Technology and Equipment Program may offer eligible funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to reduce liability risk and improve public works service delivery.
COPS Technology and Equipment Program (TEP)
Discuss this project →Strengthen Endpoint Security and IT Visibility
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks visible unified IT management, leaving endpoint security maturity and software spend largely unassessed. Public safety infrastructure connected through regional law enforcement systems may carry unmitigated credential and device-level risks without structured endpoint oversight.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and COPS TEP funding explicitly cover IT and cybersecurity equipment, offering viable paths with limited local match. Advancing endpoint and identity security now aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and reduces operational risk across public safety systems.
