Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This authority lacks an identifiable Emergency Operations Plan, with staff explicitly acknowledging the absence of emergency preparedness — a critical gap against Michigan's local EOP requirements and active state of emergency declaration mandates. Without a documented plan or mass notification capability, the entity remains operationally vulnerable during emergencies.
The opportunity
Michigan compliance mandates and an active state of emergency declaration create a near-term procurement window, while HSGP and BRIC grant funding provides an identified pathway to address preparedness gaps with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens emergency response for the communities served.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This authority currently relies on a basic phone and answering machine as its sole emergency communication method, with no documented mass notification system or formal emergency operations plan in place. This gap exposes staff and the public to significant safety risk during incidents and places the authority out of alignment with Michigan local EOP compliance requirements.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and BRIC grant windows provide time-sensitive funding explicitly aligned with resilient communications infrastructure, reducing the local financial burden. Acting within the current cycle supports compliance, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the authority to leverage cooperative purchasing for streamlined procurement.
HR and Financial System Replacement for FLSA Compliance
HR & Financial Modernization · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority has an active RFP to replace its legacy HR and financial software platform ahead of mandatory 2026 FLSA overtime reporting requirements. A prior failed implementation heightens the urgency for a reliable, compliant solution that protects operational continuity and public accountability.
The opportunity
The open RFP and a hard 2026 compliance deadline define a clear and time-sensitive procurement window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces audit exposure, supports FLSA adherence, and positions the authority to layer in complementary IT and cybersecurity controls for new systems.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A prior data breach—resulting in identity protection services for affected individuals—signals an unresolved cybersecurity vulnerability. With no visible enterprise security or IT management tooling in place, the authority faces compounding exposure as new HR and financial systems are brought online.
The opportunity
An active software replacement initiative, leadership transition, and documented breach history create a timely window for investment. This project aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and may be eligible for state or federal funding, reducing risk to public data and operational continuity.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Infrastructure Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority has made initial safety investments such as backup cameras but lacks fleet-wide telematics and video monitoring, creating unaddressed liability and oversight gaps. A newly acquired crane truck and ongoing infrastructure upgrades add assets and operational complexity that current tools are not equipped to manage.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden within standard bidding thresholds. Acting within the current infrastructure investment cycle allows the authority to extend safety coverage across its growing fleet while aligning with responsible stewardship of public operational assets.
