Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village has no publicly available EOP, no municipal mass-notification system, and no documented local exercises or After Action Reviews — leaving residents and staff exposed during emergencies. Michigan's EOP review cycle and NIMS compliance mandates are unmet, and the emergency preparedness gap is rated the highest identified risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant windows offer a direct funding path with limited local match required, and the approved FY2026–27 budget opens a near-term procurement window. Acting now addresses critical compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and advances a top-priority public education and disaster readiness initiative already identified in the county hazard mitigation plan.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's municipal website has documented accessibility gaps and does not meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to public access for residents with disabilities. A federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 is in effect, with no technology currently in place to address the requirement.
The opportunity
The April 2027 mandate creates a firm remediation timeline, and the FY2026–27 budget cycle opening July 1, 2026 is the nearest fiscal window to initiate procurement. Acting now allows for phased implementation, reduces legal risk, and ensures equitable public access ahead of the deadline.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The village's DPW fleet operates without telematics or real-time monitoring, creating operational blind spots in route accountability, asset utilization, and driver safety. A state appropriation of $834,400 for pedestrian safety and increased local transportation revenue signal growing investment in infrastructure, but without visibility tools, stewardship of those funds remains difficult to demonstrate.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–27 budget opens a new purchasing window aligned with increased transportation and public safety funding, including cooperative procurement pathways that reduce administrative burden. Acting within this fiscal cycle positions the village to improve operational accountability, support pedestrian safety outcomes, and maximize the impact of committed public dollars.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and Cybersecurity Hygiene Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks confirmed enterprise endpoint management and credential security tooling, creating measurable exposure across municipal systems and staff devices. Cybersecurity risk mitigation is an active strategic priority within the Oakland County Hazard Mitigation Plan, elevating this gap from operational to institutional risk.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–27 budget opens a new purchasing window, and cooperative procurement vehicles available to Michigan municipalities support streamlined, cost-effective acquisition. Addressing endpoint hygiene now reduces breach risk, supports county-aligned cybersecurity initiatives, and positions the village for relevant state and federal funding eligibility.
