Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Dispatch Resilience
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an outdated or missing EOP, a vacant 911 Director position, and aging UPS units supporting dispatch equipment. These deficiencies create significant compliance exposure under NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan Emergency Management Act expectations, threatening continuity of life-safety operations.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates and a regional hazard mitigation plan create immediate urgency, while HSGP and BRIC grant pathways offer viable funding with limited local match. A 2027 capital improvement window for UPS infrastructure signals a time-bound, funded procurement cycle aligned with current fiscal planning.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
Active procurement is underway to remediate website accessibility gaps across existing platforms, driven by DOJ compliance mandates. Known infrastructure gaps present legal and reputational risk if remediation is not completed ahead of the pending decision deadline.
The opportunity
A second reading scheduled for July 2026 creates an immediate decision window, making timely action critical. Procurement is already active, and cooperative purchasing programs may streamline acquisition while reducing local administrative burden and cost.
MiDEAL
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates an active fleet, including drones, and leadership has proactively identified the need for driver safety monitoring, telematics, and dash cameras before incidents occur. Without structured monitoring, the county faces growing liability exposure and limited visibility into fleet operations and risk.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing programs available to Michigan counties, such as MiDEAL, can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-deployment within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now establishes a proactive safety posture, supports stewardship of public assets, and positions the county ahead of potential compliance or liability pressures.
MiDEAL
Discuss this project →Strengthen Endpoint Security and Cybersecurity Posture
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Lenawee County's existing Microsoft 365 and network security environment present integration opportunities for endpoint management and cybersecurity hardening, but gaps remain. Without dedicated budget increases, unaddressed vulnerabilities elevate operational and compliance risk across county systems and public services.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) explicitly permits technology purchases for IT and cybersecurity, offering a viable funding path within the current grant cycle. Acting now aligns with regional emergency management priorities and positions the county to close security gaps before the next fiscal planning window.
UPS Infrastructure Upgrade for Dispatch Continuity
Emergency Management · Critical Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Aging uninterruptible power supply units supporting dispatch equipment and the server room have been flagged as a critical infrastructure gap. Failure of these systems during an emergency could disrupt 911 operations and public safety communications, elevating both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A 2027 capital improvement plan provides a funded, time-bound window to address this gap before the next emergency season. Acting within this cycle ensures procurement aligns with available appropriations and supports uninterrupted dispatch continuity for residents and first responders.
