Emergency Operations Plan Review and Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's standard EOP review cycle is overdue, and the county lacks a clearly designated emergency management coordinator — gaps made more urgent by recent declared emergencies including flooding and severe storms. Local schools have flagged mass-notification template deficiencies, compounding communication risk during active incidents.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly funds emergency communications and alert/warning systems, providing a direct and accessible funding path with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle and alongside active hazard mitigation planning efforts positions the county to close compliance gaps and strengthen community-wide response readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's emergency communications infrastructure includes a decades-old mobile command vehicle and a mass notification system with documented clarity and reliability gaps, leaving residents and schools underserved during declared emergencies. An overdue Emergency Operations Plan review and recurring severe weather events compound operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program provides a direct funding path for emergency communications equipment, aligning with the current planning cycle. Acting now addresses overdue compliance requirements, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to maximize available grant dollars before the window closes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The municipality faces a firm April 2027 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across its public-facing website, creating a clear compliance mandate. Failure to meet this standard elevates legal exposure and restricts equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The defined deadline creates immediate procurement urgency, and cooperative purchasing agreements such as MiDEAL provide an accessible, cost-effective path to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing conformance now reduces legal risk, supports digital equity, and ensures uninterrupted public access to essential government information.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department lacks documented fleet safety technology, leaving liability exposure and operational risk unaddressed. Recent county investment in street department equipment and law enforcement camera upgrades signals active fleet modernization, but telematics adoption remains a gap.
The opportunity
Active fleet equipment appropriations and a proposed municipal wheel tax indicate budget availability and readiness for safety technology investment. Addressing telematics now reduces liability exposure and may align with cooperative procurement vehicles such as MiDEAL or Sourcewell for cost-effective acquisition.
