Emergency Operations Plan Update & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2015, exceeding the required 4-year renewal cycle and creating significant compliance and operational risk. Lightning damage to communications infrastructure has compounded preparedness gaps, threatening dispatch continuity and public safety response capabilities.
The opportunity
The overdue EOP and active hazard mitigation planning create immediate urgency, with Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC funding available to offset costs. Addressing this now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the county's current grant pursuit activity.
IT Managed Services & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP (RFP-Data-2024) is underway for IT managed services covering remote monitoring, endpoint detection, patch management, and secure credential storage, with no incumbent cybersecurity vendors currently identified. The existing managed services contract expires within 18 months, creating a defined renewal window and elevated risk if gaps in endpoint protection and patch compliance go unaddressed.
The opportunity
The active RFP and approaching contract expiration create a clear, time-bound procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) directly funds law enforcement technology, including cybersecurity, and cooperative purchasing via MITN/BidNet enables streamlined, compliant acquisition to reduce cost and administrative burden.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple recorded fleet-involved accidents and the absence of dash cameras or telematics systems—particularly within the Sheriff's Office—have created a significant safety and liability gap. Without documented monitoring technology, the county faces elevated operational risk and limited ability to improve driver accountability or incident response.
The opportunity
Active public safety and transportation grant programs, including JAG and Safe Streets and Roads funding, offer viable pathways to offset project costs with limited local match required. Addressing this gap now aligns with current grant cycles, supports cooperative procurement options, and directly reduces liability exposure for county operations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's web accessibility mandate establishes a 2026 compliance deadline, requiring the county to remediate gaps across public-facing portals and digital properties. Failure to act elevates legal exposure and risks excluding residents from equitable access to government services.
The opportunity
The defined 2026 deadline creates near-term urgency, making this an ideal project to advance within the current fiscal planning cycle. Proactive remediation reduces compliance and litigation risk while improving equitable service delivery for all residents.
Mass Notification System Evaluation and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification infrastructure faces reliability concerns compounded by recent communications tower lightning damage, creating gaps in resilient public alerting. With an overdue Emergency Operations Plan and active EM modernization underway, notification capabilities require immediate reassessment to meet operational and compliance standards.
The opportunity
Bundling this evaluation with the broader emergency management modernization effort accelerates decision-making and aligns with Homeland Security Grant Program funding windows. Acting now ensures notification infrastructure supports the updated EOP, reduces public safety risk, and positions the county to leverage available grant funding before the current cycle closes.
Dispatch & Communications Infrastructure Repair and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lightning damage to county communications towers has caused immediate disruption to dispatch operations, directly impairing public safety response capabilities. This unplanned infrastructure failure creates urgent operational and continuity risk for residents and first responders alike.
The opportunity
The high-profile nature of this incident positions it as a near-term capital priority eligible for Homeland Security and emergency preparedness grant programs. Acting within the current funding cycle supports rapid restoration of critical communications infrastructure and strengthens long-term public safety resilience.
