Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan required under Michigan Public Act 390, while relying on basic email notifications and nonfunctional weather sirens for public safety. Active litigation from two townships alleging mismanagement intensifies the urgency for a structured, compliant emergency management framework.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates, a critical preparedness gap, and available Homeland Security and BRIC grant funding create a near-term window to address this risk. Acting now reduces legal exposure, strengthens public safety outcomes, and aligns with capital improvement budget cycles already in motion.
Mass Notification & Emergency Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority relies on basic email for emergency notifications and has nonfunctional weather warning sirens, leaving residents without reliable alerting during critical incidents. Active litigation tied to alleged mismanagement and public safety failures, combined with Michigan Public Act 390 compliance obligations and an overdue EOP review cycle, elevate both legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC subaward funding offer a direct path to modernizing emergency communications with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, reduces liability exposure, and ensures residents receive timely, reliable alerts during emergencies.
Website Modernization & Digital Accessibility Upgrade
IT Modernization · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The authority has identified website updates and digital services improvements as a high-priority strategic initiative, reflecting a recognized gap in public-facing digital infrastructure. Without modernization, residents face barriers to accessing services, and the authority risks falling short of public accessibility expectations.
The opportunity
This initiative aligns with the authority's existing IT modernization budget and capital improvement planning cycle, providing a near-term funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal window supports cooperative procurement options that can reduce administrative burden and accelerate delivery.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The authority operates a fragmented IT environment with no centralized endpoint management, security tooling, or credential management, creating measurable cybersecurity risk and operational inefficiency. Active cloud migration planning signals readiness for modernization, but the split ecosystem leaves critical infrastructure and data exposed.
The opportunity
Allocated capital improvement and IT modernization funding provides a viable pathway to address endpoint and security gaps within the current budget cycle. Acting now reduces operational risk, supports cloud transition readiness, and positions the authority for stronger long-term infrastructure governance.
