Emergency Operations Plan Development and Formalization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
GRSD lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, with its EOP review status flagged as overdue and EM staffing coordination unclear. Recent severe weather declarations and unmet NIMS implementation requirements compound preparedness gaps, elevating risk to public safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Newly appointed Emergency Management leadership creates a direct window for planning investment, supported by a $2M federal grant and active public safety millage discussions. Acting within the current funding cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community resilience.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
GRSD currently lacks any documented mass or rapid notification system, leaving residents and staff without reliable alerting during emergencies or severe weather. This critical gap compounds broader emergency preparedness deficiencies, including an overdue EOP review and unmet NIMS compliance requirements.
The opportunity
Recent severe weather declarations and new emergency management leadership create immediate momentum for action. Established funding paths through emergency management grants and cooperative purchasing agreements support streamlined, cost-effective procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
Countywide Transit Authority Fleet Management
Transit Operations · Fleet Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A high-priority initiative to establish a Unified Countywide Transit Authority is actively underway, supported by committed state transportation funding. Ongoing fleet procurements reflect continuous operational demands tied to the authority's build-out and service delivery obligations.
The opportunity
Committed MDOT funding and the initiative's urgency classification create a defined fiscal pathway to act within the current planning cycle. Aligning fleet management investments now supports operational continuity, responsible stewardship of public transportation funds, and long-term service reliability for residents.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and Cybersecurity Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented, split IT ecosystem creates security and management gaps that elevate operational and compliance risk across departments. Ongoing renewals and incremental hardware investments signal continuous modernization needs without a cohesive, unified strategy to reduce exposure.
The opportunity
A substantial existing IT and software budget confirms fiscal capacity, and cooperative procurement vehicles can streamline acquisition within the current planning cycle. Consolidating infrastructure now reduces long-term risk, supports continuity of public services, and aligns with available state and federal funding pathways.
