EOP Development and NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Airport Authority lacks a comprehensive EOP, and recent severe weather events exposed critical communication and coordination failures — underscored by a FEMA major disaster declaration. Michigan's 2026 EOP review cycle and mandatory NIMS implementation create a hard compliance deadline tied directly to federal and state funding eligibility.
The opportunity
FAA AIP eligibility (95% federal share) and available state grants significantly reduce local match burden, making this an ideal fiscal window to act. Addressing gaps now ensures compliance, protects funding eligibility, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the 2026 review deadline.
Public Safety Communications Modernization and Mass Notification Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current mass-notification systems show enrollment shortfalls and reliability gaps, leaving residents underserved during emergencies. Active Fire/EMS notification upgrade discussions, a pending E911 radio procurement, and a 2026 Michigan EOP review deadline signal compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines—including HSGP and BRIC—directly fund emergency communications equipment, with reduced local match requirements freeing up local dollars. Acting now aligns with the EOP review cycle, strengthens public safety reach, and positions the county for federal funding eligibility before the window closes.
Airport Website Refresh & Digital Experience Modernization
IT Modernization · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The airport's digital presence is fragmented across split website vendors, creating inconsistent public-facing experiences and potential accessibility compliance gaps. Active IT oversight by the Ways & Means Committee signals organizational readiness to consolidate and modernize digital infrastructure.
The opportunity
Existing software tool usage at the county level creates a natural pathway for consolidation, reducing redundancy and long-term costs. Aligning this initiative with current IT modernization discussions and the upcoming fiscal cycle supports efficient use of public funds and improved constituent access.

IT Modernization · Public Sector Technology
High Priority
About this project
A county-level IT Needs Assessment is actively underway under Ways & Means Committee oversight, with FY25/26 budgets of $165k for equipment and $180k for maintenance allocated. Gaps in technology infrastructure and total annual IT spend exceeding $595k signal both investment readiness and the need for structured modernization.
The opportunity
The active assessment creates a defined evaluation window aligned with confirmed FY25/26 budget capacity, making this an ideal time to advance modernization priorities. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating timelines for eligible technology solutions.
