EOP Modernization and NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 2026 audit is scheduled to assess emergency response adequacy, while Michigan EOP review and NIMS compliance requirements remain overdue. High personnel turnover compounds preparedness gaps, increasing operational and compliance risk for the county and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
The 2026 audit creates a near-term urgency to close EOP and NIMS gaps before findings escalate. Federal funding through homeland security and infrastructure resilience grant programs provides viable, identified pathways to advance this work within the current planning cycle.
Consolidate Mass Notification for Unified Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented emergency notification ecosystem—combining a software-based mass notification platform with physical sirens—creating redundancy, coordination gaps, and uneven public alerting coverage. A scheduled 2026 audit to assess emergency response adequacy and standing NIMS and EOP compliance mandates elevate the operational and regulatory risk of inaction.
The opportunity
The 2026 emergency response audit creates a defined window to address notification gaps before findings become liabilities. Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding is directly applicable to mass notification improvements, reducing local budget exposure. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can accelerate procurement and simplify the path to a unified, compliant solution.
Cybersecurity Policy and Endpoint Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Governance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
This public safety entity lacks formal cybersecurity and password policies, and endpoint management practices fall short of acceptable standards. These gaps create measurable compliance and operational risk, particularly given the sensitivity of data handled and recent audit findings citing accountability and management deficiencies.
The opportunity
Audit findings and an active technology grant window—including JAG-eligible funding for equipment and computer technology—create a timely path to address these vulnerabilities. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces exposure, supports compliance, and strengthens the security posture of public-facing operations.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties must meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards to ensure equitable access for all residents. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure, risk of complaint or litigation, and undermine public trust in government services.
The opportunity
Proactively addressing accessibility compliance reduces long-term legal and reputational risk while improving service delivery for residents with disabilities. Remediation efforts may align with upcoming fiscal planning cycles and broader IT modernization investments already underway.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Active fleet modernization—including recent fire apparatus acquisition and in-house maintenance—signals readiness to advance safety and operational visibility. Without telematics integration, liability exposure and fleet performance gaps remain unaddressed across public safety and transit operations.
The opportunity
A potential transit millage expansion and cooperative purchasing agreements provide accessible, cost-effective procurement paths aligned with current budget activity. Acting within this fiscal window supports liability reduction, operational efficiency, and positions the agency ahead of upcoming procurement and safety audits.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Ongoing data center growth discussions and high personnel turnover signal mounting pressure on legacy IT systems that rely heavily on manual processes. Without modernized infrastructure and streamlined endpoint management, operational continuity and accountability remain at risk across county departments.
The opportunity
With an annual IT and software spend exceeding $18 million and active infrastructure planning underway, the current fiscal environment supports strategic investment. Leadership transitions in finance and administration create a timely opening to align new solutions with evolving priorities before the next budget cycle.
