Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates multiple overlapping mass notification platforms simultaneously, creating redundancy, inefficiency, and gaps in emergency communications. A vacant Emergency Management position and recent leadership transition further expose operational risk during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Upcoming July 2026 grant deadlines—including HSGP and BRIC—offer aligned funding to support consolidation with limited local match required. Acting now leverages new EM leadership momentum, reduces compliance exposure under Michigan EMHSD requirements, and strengthens community-wide emergency response.
Emergency Management Program Strengthening
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A staffing vacancy, recent leadership turnover, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises signal significant preparedness gaps in the Emergency Management division. Michigan EMHSD requirements and recent policy amendments add compliance pressure, elevating risk to residents and operational continuity.
The opportunity
New EM leadership, open staffing, and approaching grant deadlines create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps. FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program funding, with deadlines around July 2026, supports eligible initiatives and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.
Endpoint Security and IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active endpoint security overhaul is underway with a hard December 22nd deadline, targeting unified management across all devices and streamlining software subscriptions. Fragmented tools and inconsistent IT hygiene create compliance exposure and operational risk for staff and public-facing services.
The opportunity
A proposed CISO role and Technology Services reorganization signal committed leadership investment, while JAG and TEP grant windows closing in July 2026 offer viable funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with strategic priorities and reduces the window of cybersecurity vulnerability.
Privileged Access & Credential Security Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization has an active credential security program, but a pending CISO hire and Technology Services reorganization signal gaps in governance and oversight maturity. Without structured privileged access controls, public sector entities face elevated risk of credential-based breaches and audit findings.
The opportunity
The current leadership transition and department restructuring create a strategic window to formalize and expand credential security coverage before new oversight roles are seated. TEP grant funding with July 2026 deadlines may offset costs, and alignment with the upcoming fiscal cycle supports timely procurement.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website has documented ADA/WCAG compliance gaps, with audit findings and site errors signaling incomplete remediation despite a plan being in place. These gaps create moderate but real legal exposure and limit equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Audit findings and federal procurement non-compliance signals make remediation time-sensitive, with inaction increasing legal and operational risk heading into the next fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now supports equitable service delivery, strengthens compliance posture, and may align with available state or federal funding for digital modernization.
