Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a current, publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and is out of compliance with NIMS and EOP review mandates. A recent winter storm triggered a Local State of Emergency, exposing critical preparedness gaps that carry direct consequences for continued non-compliance.
The opportunity
The emergency declaration creates immediate urgency, while state-level public safety budget increases and available grants provide a strong funding outlook. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the department to leverage accessible procurement pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in the existing mass notification system limit the county's ability to reliably alert staff and residents during emergencies. A recent Local State of Emergency declaration has exposed these vulnerabilities, elevating operational risk and reinforcing NIMS and EOP compliance obligations.
The opportunity
The recent emergency declaration creates near-term urgency to close notification gaps before the next incident. Emergency management funding windows and state public safety budget increases offer viable pathways to advance modernization within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has documented equipment damage, unresolved apparatus maintenance issues, and a confirmed absence of vehicle safety technologies such as dashcams and telematics. Aging fleet assets and active procurement planning signal growing operational and safety risk for personnel and public service delivery.
The opportunity
A near-term millage renewal and grants explicitly referencing vehicle telematics and equipment create an accessible funding window aligned with current fleet replacement planning. Acting within this cycle supports safer operations, reduces liability exposure, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing website must meet WCAG/DOJ digital accessibility standards by a firm 2027 deadline. Non-compliance carries legal exposure and restricts equitable public access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline supports a phased remediation approach, allowing budget alignment across upcoming fiscal cycles. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline contracting, reducing administrative burden and accelerating compliant delivery.
