Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a township-specific EOP, has no documented exercises, and relies on county-level mass notification without a local plan. Michigan's 4-year EOP review mandate—requiring CEO signature—is unmet, risking loss of state disaster assistance eligibility amid recent flooding emergencies.
The opportunity
FY2026 includes an $8.76M Central Dispatch appropriation, and aligned grant programs support emergency management and mass notification with strong multi-program funding potential. Acting now addresses active compliance gaps, strengthens disaster response readiness, and positions the county ahead of the upcoming fiscal and grant cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Muskegon County currently relies on a standalone mass notification system without an integrated local emergency plan, creating fragmentation and critical response gaps. Recent declared emergencies and overdue EOP compliance requirements—including Michigan's 4-year review mandate—elevate risk to residents and eligibility for state disaster assistance.
The opportunity
FY2026 grant programs explicitly covering communications and mass notification technologies present a well-aligned, time-sensitive funding path with a significant Central Dispatch budget appropriation already in place. Acting within the current grant window strengthens coordinated emergency response, closes documented preparedness gaps, and protects continued eligibility for state and federal disaster assistance.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Muskegon County's recent adoption of a new content management system has triggered a WCAG 2.1/ADA compliance requirement with a hard deadline of April 24, 2026. Failure to meet this mandate exposes the county to legal liability and restricts equitable resident access to public-facing digital services.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates clear urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle, and the CMS transition provides a natural implementation window. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with the county's active IT investment posture.

Cybersecurity · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county maintains an active but evolving cybersecurity posture—including endpoint protection, virtualization, and penetration testing—yet gaps remain as infrastructure planning matures. A related entity carries explicit cybersecurity mandates, and an exploratory Data Center initiative signals growing operational and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
Annual IT and software investment exceeding $1M confirms budget capacity, and HSGP grant funding identifies cybersecurity and IT systems as eligible expenditures. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to close security gaps, meet compliance obligations, and leverage cooperative purchasing for cost-effective procurement.
