Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear operational responsibilities, and shows no documented exercises — all critical gaps. NIMS compliance is mandated for funding eligibility, and without it, the entity risks disqualification from state and federal public safety dollars.
The opportunity
Michigan's FY 2026 public safety funding allocation and a current federal technology grant program create a time-sensitive window to close preparedness gaps with limited local match. Acting now ensures compliance, protects funding eligibility, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the FY27 budget cycle.
FY 2026 COPS Technology Program
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
No confirmed fleet safety technology is currently in place, creating operational risk and visibility gaps across public works and transportation functions. With a new Director of Public Services recently onboarded, the timing is aligned for a structured evaluation of fleet monitoring and safety capabilities.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 COPS Technology & Equipment Program represents a direct funding match for fleet safety and telematics, and Michigan's $50M state public safety allocation further strengthens the budget case. A November 2026 contract renewal window creates near-term procurement urgency, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined path to implementation within the current fiscal cycle.
FY 2026 COPS Technology Program
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2027, creating high urgency for accessible public-facing digital services. Without remediation, the entity faces legal exposure and risks excluding residents from essential online services and document access.
The opportunity
The defined April 2027 deadline creates a clear procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles. Acting now allows time for phased remediation of document workflows and portal accessibility, reducing legal risk while improving equitable public access to government services.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification environment presents continuity and coverage gaps tied to emergency management preparedness, including no publicly available EOP and unclear operational responsibilities. NIMS compliance mandates and an identified need for reliable public alerting elevate both operational and funding-eligibility risk.
The opportunity
A November 2026 public safety technology renewal window and the FY 2026 COPS Technology & Equipment grant create aligned procurement and funding timing for this initiative. Acting within the current cycle supports NIMS compliance, strengthens community-wide emergency response, and leverages available state and federal public safety funding.
FY 2026 COPS Technology Program
Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and IT Management Modernization
Endpoint Security · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No confirmed endpoint security or IT management solutions are in place, creating inferred operational and cybersecurity gaps. With a moderate annual IT spend of $132,750, the organization faces exposure to data breaches, service disruptions, and unmanaged device risk across public-facing operations.
The opportunity
The absence of incumbent solutions presents a timely opportunity to establish foundational endpoint protections ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Eligible cooperative procurement vehicles and state public safety funding may offset costs while reducing operational and compliance risk.
