Strengthen Village-Level Emergency Preparedness and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county-level mass notification, leaving residents without a standalone preparedness framework. Michigan Public Act 201 mandates EOP review and approval, and the absence of after-action reports compounds both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The accepted 2026–2027 budget and a projected increase in state revenue-sharing create a near-term fiscal window to close preparedness gaps. Available public safety grant funding supports eligible emergency management initiatives, enabling action that strengthens community resilience and satisfies state compliance requirements.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village depends on county-level mass notification and a manual siren system, with no standalone village-owned alerting capability. This gap limits independent emergency response for residents and staff, and raises compliance risk under Michigan's EOP review mandates.
The opportunity
County adoption of an existing notification platform creates urgency for the village to evaluate its own dedicated solution. Grant funding aligned with emergency preparedness and public safety is available, and the current fiscal window supports investment in a system that strengthens independent alerting and long-term operational resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Public Service Delivery
High Priority
About this project
The village has identified gaps in website accessibility and usability for public-facing digital portals, with improvements already underway. Unresolved compliance exposure under federal accessibility standards poses legal and service delivery risk to residents.
The opportunity
Active momentum and existing budget consideration make this a near-term, actionable initiative aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Closing accessibility gaps reduces legal liability, broadens equitable public access, and supports compliance with federal digital service requirements.
Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Safety Technology
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Police Department lacks documented onboard video and telematics capabilities across its fleet, creating measurable gaps in officer accountability, incident documentation, and risk mitigation. A recent department reorganization and new Police Chief appointment in June 2026 have created an immediate catalyst for equipment and technology decisions.
The opportunity
The accepted 2026–2027 budget and active grant programs explicitly listing law enforcement equipment and in-vehicle systems as eligible uses create a direct funding pathway for this initiative. Acting within this fiscal window allows the department to advance officer safety, strengthen accountability, and leverage cooperative purchasing to streamline acquisition.
