Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's EOP is likely over 12 years old, exceeding Michigan's 4-year review cycle and falling out of NIMS/ICS compliance. Without a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator or township-specific mass notification system, preparedness and regulatory gaps pose significant risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Upcoming July 2026 grant deadlines—including Homeland Security and BRIC programs—offer a near-term funding path aligned with the township's budget-approved emergency management priority. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and positions the township ahead of a leadership transition.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-operated alert platform rather than a dedicated, township-owned notification system, creating communication gaps during emergencies. This fragmentation limits timely, targeted outreach to residents and staff and conflicts with NIMS/ICS compliance expectations and Michigan's EOP review cycle.
The opportunity
Emergency management is a funded strategic priority, and grant windows opening in July 2026—including Homeland Security-aligned programs—support near-term procurement with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a critical preparedness gap and strengthens compliance posture ahead of the township's EOP review obligations.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent fire engine rollover with injuries has exposed critical gaps in fleet safety oversight, with no dashcam or telematics systems currently in place. Without driver behavior monitoring or incident documentation, the township faces elevated liability exposure and lacks the tools needed to prevent future harm to personnel and the public.
The opportunity
FY 2026 capital funding for new fire rescue vehicles creates a timely integration point for fleet safety technology, and justice assistance grant funding may offset implementation costs. Acting now addresses an active safety risk, strengthens liability defense, and aligns with the current budget and capital planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Forms Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Citizen Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's citizen-facing digital services lack WCAG 2.1 compliance, with permit processing dependent on PDFs and an external contractor, limiting access for residents with disabilities. Web accessibility and cybersecurity technology statuses are unconfirmed, signaling unaddressed compliance and service delivery gaps.
The opportunity
An upcoming leadership transition creates a timely opening to reset digital service priorities, and an existing IT budget line item may support accessibility and portal modernization investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to reduce compliance exposure and improve equitable resident access.
