Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly available local Emergency Operations Plan, operates fragmented mass-notification systems, and has no documented exercises on record. These gaps create direct compliance risk under NIMS and EMPG mandates and undermine coordinated emergency response for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY2025 EMPG award provides an immediate funding path, while FY2026 grant cycles are opening and a proposed Emergency Services millage renewal could generate over $1M for equipment and services. Acting now aligns procurement with available funding and closes critical preparedness gaps before the next grant window closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active RFP targeting WCAG 2.1 AA website compliance, alongside strategic initiatives to improve public access to online forms and government information. Existing accessibility gaps create legal exposure under federal disability access requirements and limit equitable service delivery for residents.
The opportunity
An active RFP signals near-term procurement readiness with a defined compliance target, making this an immediate priority within the current fiscal cycle. Closing accessibility gaps reduces legal risk, broadens resident access to public services, and aligns with federally recognized digital equity standards — with solutions potentially eligible for state and federal technology funding.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cheboygan County has received an $84,000 cybersecurity grant to implement two-factor authentication and launch a compliant .Gov website, while several IT maintenance contracts are nearing expiration. Active strategic initiatives to modernize cybersecurity systems and replace aging hardware and software signal both urgency and displacement risk if action is delayed.
The opportunity
The confirmed grant award creates an immediate procurement window, reinforced by the 2026–2031 Capital Improvements Program and expiring contracts that align with fiscal planning cycles. Additional funding paths through JAG and HSGP grants, alongside an annual IT spend of $383,008, support a structured and fully fundable modernization effort.
Fleet Visibility and Vehicle Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
Cheboygan County's planned new vehicle purchases signal active fleet expansion with limited visibility or management infrastructure in place. Without structured fleet oversight, the county risks inefficient asset utilization, untracked maintenance cycles, and reduced accountability over publicly funded vehicles.
The opportunity
New vehicle acquisitions create a timely onboarding window to establish fleet management practices before gaps compound. Cooperative purchasing programs available to county governments can simplify procurement, and alignment with the upcoming capital improvements cycle supports budget justification.
