Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Ira Township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and has unclear mass-notification coverage, creating significant preparedness gaps for residents and first responders. Firm compliance deadlines — including Michigan's EOP review and Macomb County EOP alignment by October 2025 — elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 HSGP grant cycle explicitly covers mass-notification, emergency communications, and incident management, offering a strong and time-sensitive funding pathway. New Fire Department leadership and active siren and radio upgrade initiatives create an immediate opening to close preparedness gaps and strengthen community safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has approved capital fleet purchases and faces growing risk from unverified incident records and public scrutiny tied to a reported truck accident. Without dash cameras and telematics, the department lacks objective data to monitor driver behavior, document incidents, and defend against liability exposure.
The opportunity
Approved fleet capital funding creates a timely opening to layer in safety and monitoring technology with minimal additional budget impact. Acting now establishes incident documentation practices before scrutiny escalates, supporting operational accountability and responsible stewardship of public safety resources.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital portal has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. The federal ADA/WCAG mandate carries a firm April 2026 deadline, requiring timely remediation across web and document accessibility.
The opportunity
The April 2026 compliance deadline defines a clear and near-term procurement window, aligning with current fiscal planning cycles. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, improves equitable resident access, and may qualify for cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline the process.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A statewide RFP for municipal cybersecurity assessment services signals institutional recognition of risk, but limited budget visibility and constrained discretionary spending following a failed police millage complicate full scope planning. Without a completed assessment, the township faces unquantified exposure to data breaches, service disruptions, and compliance gaps.
The opportunity
The active statewide RFP creates a structured, near-term procurement entry point aligned with the current fiscal cycle, and cooperative contract vehicles may reduce local cost burden. Completing a cybersecurity assessment now positions the township to prioritize remediation, protect public data, and strengthen eligibility for future state and federal funding.

Discuss this project →Emergency Response Equipment Procurement and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has active funding designated for emergency response equipment, but significant preparedness gaps remain — including no publicly posted EOP and unclear mass-notification coverage. Michigan EOP review requirements and Macomb County alignment deadlines by October 2025 elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 HSGP NOFO presents a direct funding pathway for emergency communications and equipment, with a July 2026 deadline. Acting now aligns procurement with the current grant window, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and upcoming fiscal planning cycles to close critical readiness gaps.
