Emergency Operations Plan Review and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review and currently listed as incomplete, while NIMS implementation requirements add compounding compliance risk. A significant reduction in EMPG funding narrows the window to close these preparedness gaps before they become critical operational and legal liabilities.
The opportunity
Active grant alignment through hazard mitigation and preparedness programs, combined with confirmed local revenue from updated 9-1-1 surcharge rates and FEMA approvals, provides a strong near-term funding path. Addressing the EOP now satisfies overdue compliance mandates and strengthens the county's readiness posture ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Federal Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's Hazard Mitigation Plan update is an active, federally-driven requirement with grant activity already in motion, signaling an in-flight initiative under its broader emergency management program. Failure to complete a compliant HMP update risks loss of FEMA eligibility and continuity of critical emergency preparedness funding.
The opportunity
Active federal grant alignment and confirmed FEMA funding approvals create a near-term window to advance this initiative with limited local match burden. Completing the HMP update now preserves grant eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county for future emergency management funding cycles.
Strengthen County Credential and Password Security
Cybersecurity · Data Governance
High Priority
About this project
The county's active Encryption Committee signals recognized gaps in credential and data protection practices, yet no formal security controls for password management are documented. Without structured credential governance, county systems and sensitive resident data remain exposed to unauthorized access and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Incoming cybersecurity grant funds—including potential alignment with COPS TEP and JAG programs—are creating defined decision windows tied to compliance deadlines. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the county to close credential security gaps, satisfy policy mandates, and leverage available funding with limited local match.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's IT environment reflects fragmented, legacy endpoint management tooling amid active modernization efforts, including phasing out outdated communication methods and reassessing infrastructure. Incoming cybersecurity grant funds introduce defined compliance and spending deadlines, elevating operational risk if endpoint gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity grant funds currently in place create a defined decision window aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle, enabling the county to consolidate endpoint management with limited budget exposure. Cooperative procurement vehicles are confirmed, reducing acquisition complexity and accelerating time to improved security posture.

Discuss this project →Time & Attendance Software Procurement
Workforce Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Gratiot County has an active procurement underway for time and attendance software, signaling a defined gap in workforce management tooling that leadership is working to close. Without a modern solution, the county risks continued inefficiencies in labor tracking, payroll accuracy, and staff accountability across departments.
The opportunity
An in-flight procurement decision window creates immediate opportunity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Established cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and accelerate deployment of a compliant, cost-effective solution.
