Emergency Operations Plan & Local Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted local Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented after-action reports, and relies on county-level mass notification with potential local coverage gaps. Michigan mandates local EOP review, approval, and NIMS implementation — requirements that are currently unmet, elevating compliance and operational risk amid recent severe weather events.
The opportunity
Grant funding aligned with emergency preparedness and hazard mitigation carries deadlines in July 2026, creating an immediate and time-sensitive funding path with strong eligibility. Acting now addresses critical compliance mandates, closes local notification gaps, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.
Mass Notification & Emergency Alert Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on county-level mass notification infrastructure, creating gaps in local coverage, control, and response coordination. Hazard mitigation and emergency notification improvements are active strategic priorities, and Michigan mandates for local EOP review and NIMS implementation elevate compliance urgency.
The opportunity
Grant funding through BRIC and HSGP programs is available with deadlines approaching in July 2026, creating a near-term window to advance this initiative with limited local match. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place to streamline procurement, and acting now reduces compliance exposure while strengthening community-level emergency response.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates a high-risk mixed fleet—including snowmobiles and heavy vehicles—with no telematics or dashcam coverage currently in place. This gap creates unmonitored operational risk, liability exposure, and limited visibility into driver safety and vehicle performance across public works operations.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a near-term funding path for fleet safety technology, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer an expedited procurement route. Acting now closes a recognized regional safety gap and positions the township to leverage available public safety funding before the window closes.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A website redesign and ADA digital accessibility initiative approved in 2023 remains stalled due to budget constraints, leaving the township exposed to compliance risk under federal accessibility mandates. Without remediation, residents face barriers to public services and the entity remains vulnerable to legal and audit findings.
The opportunity
Newly active Opioid Settlement Funds (beginning June 29, 2026) and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and MiDEAL offer viable, low-barrier funding paths to restart this effort within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now resolves a standing compliance gap, improves equitable public access, and aligns with the township's already-approved initiative.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's current IT environment lacks documented endpoint management and credential security controls, creating operational and compliance exposure. Without structured tooling, public systems and sensitive data remain vulnerable, and the township may fall short of emerging state and federal cybersecurity expectations.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as BRIC and HSGP explicitly support cybersecurity and IT management initiatives, with deadlines approaching in July 2026. Acting within the current grant window allows the township to offset budget constraints while reducing risk to public infrastructure and resident data.
