Close Critical Emergency Preparedness Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a modern opt-in mass-notification system. These gaps create significant compliance exposure under Michigan's EOP review cycle mandates and limit the township's ability to respond to hazards independently of county resources.
The opportunity
Active investment momentum—including an approved MI-MABAS mutual aid agreement, identified hazard mitigation actions, and prior FEMA-funded public safety purchases—signals strong readiness to act. FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program funding is directly applicable, and addressing these gaps now aligns with Michigan's recurring EOP compliance cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on basic email alerts for emergency notifications, creating a significant reach gap compared to the county's more capable platform. This disparity limits timely resident and staff communication during incidents, elevating both operational risk and compliance exposure under Michigan's EOP review requirements.
The opportunity
The county's platform transition creates a near-term window to close the township's notification gap before the next incident or compliance review cycle. FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program funding offers a viable path with limited local match, and approved mutual aid agreements signal institutional readiness to act.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Modernization and Liability Risk Reduction
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has experienced multiple fleet-involved accidents, a 38% rise in municipal liability insurance, and a disputed fire truck insurance claim. An existing fleet management solution has not closed gaps in driver behavior monitoring or incident evidence capture, leaving the township exposed to continued financial and operational risk.
The opportunity
Recent capital approvals for public safety vehicles—including a significant pumper truck investment—confirm both budget capacity and leadership prioritization of fleet safety. Addressing monitoring and evidence capture gaps now supports cost containment, strengthens the township's insurance position, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township is actively replacing end-of-life desktops running unsupported software and navigating an upcoming internet service contract expiration, creating compounding operational and security risk. A recently approved managed IT agreement covering cybersecurity and 24/7 monitoring signals a formal modernization effort already underway.
The opportunity
Contract expirations and active budget commitments create a near-term window to consolidate IT services, reduce vulnerability exposure, and improve continuity. Aligning additional endpoint and security investments now supports fiscal-year planning and maximizes the value of existing managed service commitments.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks enterprise password management, creating a credential governance gap as managed IT services and an archival digitization initiative expand the digital attack surface. Without structured credential controls, sensitive systems and public records face elevated exposure risk.
The opportunity
The active managed IT agreement provides a natural foundation for layering credential security into existing infrastructure, reducing implementation friction. Public safety technology grant programs may offset qualifying costs, and alignment with the current fiscal cycle supports timely action before further digital expansion increases risk.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has a budget-approved website managed services and ADA/accessibility work order, with formal acknowledgment of accessibility obligations. Gaps in digital accessibility expose the municipality to compliance risk and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
With funding already approved and accessibility mandates creating a recurring compliance driver, this initiative is positioned for near-term execution within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these obligations now improves public-facing service delivery and reduces legal and operational exposure.
