Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The discontinuation of the township's fire siren has created an immediate mass-notification gap, leaving residents without a unified alert system. A fragmented communications ecosystem and a recent outage expose the township to significant operational and NIMS/EOP compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FEMA EMPG grant window presents a time-sensitive funding path, and an August 2026 capital millage renewal offers an additional local mechanism. Acting within the next 90 days positions the township to close a critical safety gap while aligning with cooperative procurement options that simplify the process.
Emergency Operations Plan Development and Mass Notification Gap Closure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance exposure under NIMS and Michigan EOP review mandates, while a discontinued fire siren and recent communications outage have left critical mass-notification gaps unaddressed. These compounding vulnerabilities elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Multiple grant opportunities with deadlines in the July–August 2026 window directly align with emergency preparedness and mass-notification needs, and the Fire Department's healthy fund balances and capital millage renewal signal near-term budget availability. Acting now addresses urgent compliance mandates, closes life-safety gaps, and positions the department to maximize available funding before the fiscal window closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively working toward WCAG 2.1 AA compliance but faces ongoing gaps in document and portal accessibility, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Unresolved deficiencies risk non-compliance with federal accessibility mandates affecting residents who rely on digital services.
The opportunity
Closing remaining accessibility gaps now reduces legal and audit risk ahead of compliance review cycles, and improvements may qualify for state or federal digital equity funding. Addressing this within the current fiscal window supports equitable service delivery and strengthens public trust in government digital infrastructure.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent fleet accident has exposed significant liability and potential repair or replacement costs, with no safety technology currently in place to prevent recurrence. A planned fire engine acquisition and absence of any existing telematics system create an immediate window to address operational risk and asset accountability.
The opportunity
The fire department's capital millage renewal and new vehicle procurement align with the current budget cycle, offering a natural funding pathway for fleet safety investment. Acting now eliminates greenfield risk, supports responsible stewardship of public assets, and may qualify for cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.
