Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a confirmed, current village-level Emergency Operations Plan and has identified gaps in local mass notification coverage, with reliance on county systems creating local control and continuity risks. NIMS-aligned emergency management practices represent an explicit compliance mandate, leaving the community exposed to operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Multiple 2026 grant deadlines—including EMPG, HSGP, BRIC, and JAG—directly align with emergency management and mass notification initiatives, offering near-term funding pathways with potential for limited local match. Michigan's FY2027 public safety budget proposals and a transitional leadership environment create a timely window to advance compliance, close coverage gaps, and strengthen community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's public-facing website has confirmed WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, representing an active federal ADA obligation and an elevated risk of complaint or legal exposure. A digital transparency and website update initiative has received budget approval, signaling leadership readiness to address the gap.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 compliance is an ongoing federal mandate with no grace period, making delay a continuous liability for the village. Budget approval is already in place, and cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan municipalities can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden—enabling faster resolution within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented vehicle incident involving a police unit exposed a critical gap in fleet safety technology, with no dashcam or telematics data available to support review. Budget-approved fleet replacements are underway, but safety monitoring and accountability tools remain absent, elevating operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
Public safety grant programs with 2026 deadlines and cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan government entities support streamlined, cost-effective acquisition. A leadership transition within the department and active fleet procurement create a timely window to close this safety gap and strengthen officer and community accountability.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Documented gaps in cybersecurity infrastructure leave municipal systems and sensitive public data exposed, with no confirmed endpoint management practices in place. A transitional leadership environment and absence of active IT modernization initiatives elevate operational and compliance risk across departments.
The opportunity
Grant programs with 2026 deadlines explicitly list cybersecurity solutions as eligible categories, and Michigan's FY2027 public safety budget increases may free up local funds for related technology. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the municipality to close critical security gaps while maximizing available funding pathways.
