Firewall Replacement and Network Security Upgrade
Cybersecurity · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
End-of-life firewalls present an active cybersecurity vulnerability, with procurement already underway and grant applications submitted. A split IT environment across departments compounds exposure, elevating risk to public data and operational continuity.
The opportunity
An ongoing budget cycle and identified grant funding paths (JAG, HSGP) create a near-term window to close this critical security gap. Acting now reduces breach risk, supports compliance, and aligns capital investment with available public safety funding.
Unified Credential Management Across Dual-Domain Environment
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department and township operate across separate email domains, creating a fragmented IT ecosystem with elevated credential management risk and increased administrative burden. Without a unified access management system, the dual-domain environment introduces security gaps and compliance exposure that are difficult to audit or remediate consistently.
The opportunity
An active IT infrastructure planning effort and approved technology budget increases signal strong organizational readiness to address this gap now. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already identified, streamlining procurement and supporting responsible stewardship of public funds within the current budget cycle.
Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department's split IT ecosystem—spanning township and fire department operations—creates compounded management overhead and elevated cybersecurity exposure, including end-of-life firewall infrastructure. A budget-approved initiative to improve department software is actively underway, signaling recognized gaps in endpoint visibility and control.
The opportunity
This project aligns with an active IT planning cycle and an approved budget baseline, with cooperative procurement vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Relevant state and federal grant programs may offset costs, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational and compliance risk.
Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has an unclear local emergency management coordinator, and undocumented mass-notification contract details. These gaps elevate preparedness, coordination, and public communication risks during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A $1.6M budget amendment for emergency services is approved, and named grant programs provide additional funding paths with strong timing alignment. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk, strengthens incident response, and positions the department ahead of the current grant cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
ADA Title II obligations and Michigan's WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline are driving active remediation of public-facing digital assets. Without timely action, the entity risks legal exposure and continued barriers to equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
A defined compliance deadline and a budget-approved initiative to expand the department's online presence create immediate, low-friction conditions for action. Addressing web and document accessibility together maximizes public engagement outcomes and positions the entity ahead of enforcement risk within the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates aging apparatus under an active capital replacement plan, with personnel costs creating budget pressure. Limited adoption of safety technologies such as telematics creates liability exposure and reduces maintenance efficiency across the fleet.
The opportunity
Aligning telematics adoption with existing apparatus procurement cycles allows the department to leverage capital budgets already in motion. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces friction, supports fleet compliance tracking, and strengthens long-term operational and fiscal stewardship.
