Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Clare County lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and has no mass notification system in place, creating critical gaps in public safety readiness. Compliance mandates including HSEEP, EMPG, and Michigan Publication 201a are unmet, elevating regulatory and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Pending FEMA/EGLE grant discussions and a reported $6.2M state allocation present near-term funding paths aligned with the county's Hazard Mitigation Plan priorities. Acting within the current grant window reduces compliance exposure and advances EOC communications readiness before the next severe weather season.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have ongoing ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents. This is an active, unresolved initiative requiring structured remediation to meet federal accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
Identified grant funding, including HSGP and BRIC, may support digital accessibility improvements, reducing local cost burden. Addressing compliance gaps now limits legal liability, improves public service delivery, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.
Internet Connectivity Agreement Renewal Planning
IT Modernization · Broadband & Connectivity
High Priority
About this project
The entity's current internet service agreement is set to expire by December 31, 2026, creating a defined procurement decision window. Failure to act proactively risks service disruption, unfavorable contract terms, and gaps in connectivity that affect public operations and service delivery.
The opportunity
The 2026 expiration establishes a clear planning horizon aligned with upcoming fiscal and budget cycles, allowing the entity to reassess bandwidth needs and secure favorable terms. Acting ahead of the deadline supports uninterrupted public services and may align with available state or cooperative procurement pathways.

Fleet Management · Capital Planning
High Priority
About this project
Recent streets millage renewal and approval of new street projects signal active capital investment, creating a potential opening for a formal fleet management initiative. Currently, no fleet-related safety incidents or liability concerns have been identified, placing this at an early planning stage.
The opportunity
The active capital budget environment and availability of cooperative purchasing agreements offer a low-friction procurement pathway for fleet telematics. Formalizing this initiative during the current budget cycle can improve asset visibility, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and support responsible stewardship of public infrastructure funds.
