Municipal Website Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's website lacks a site-wide WCAG 2.1 compliance statement and has a documented critical error on the police department page, creating legal exposure and barriers to public access. A binding federal mandate requires municipal website accessibility compliance by April 26, 2027, making remediation both urgent and non-discretionary.
The opportunity
The April 2027 federal deadline creates a defined, time-bound procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle, and cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan municipalities can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden. Acting now allows sufficient lead time for assessment, remediation, and validation before enforcement begins.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Montrose Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county-level emergency management without documented local coordination, creating significant gaps in NIMS compliance and mass-notification readiness. These deficiencies elevate operational and regulatory risk during critical incidents, leaving residents and staff without a clear, locally governed response framework.
The opportunity
The township's active FEMA funding relationship and alignment with the Homeland Security Grant Program create a timely pathway to address emergency preparedness gaps with reduced local fiscal burden. Acting within the current FY 2026–2027 budget cycle positions the township to close compliance gaps, strengthen community resilience, and meet federal coordination standards before the next incident occurs.
Endpoint Security & Password Policy Hardening
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a documented password management policy and comprehensive endpoint management coverage, leaving critical systems exposed to credential-based threats and unauthorized access. These gaps represent an undermanaged IT security posture with direct compliance and operational risk to township staff and public services.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs aligned with endpoint and credential security—including JAG and COPS TEP—offer viable funding paths with strong fit for this project scope. Acting within the current procurement cycle allows the township to close documented security gaps, reduce audit exposure, and leverage cooperative purchasing to streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Video Deployment
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The township's police department currently lacks in-vehicle video and telematics systems, with no formal fleet safety policies in place. This gap creates unmitigated liability exposure, limits incident documentation, and reduces driver accountability across vehicle operations.
The opportunity
An active fleet replacement program provides a natural funding vehicle for telematics adoption, with JAG and COPS TEP grant programs offering eligible pathways. Cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement timelines, reducing cost and administrative burden within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Modernize Local Mass Notification Capability
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a documented local mass-notification solution, relying entirely on county-level systems for resident and staff alerts. This gap undermines direct incident coordination and creates meaningful communication risk during emergencies, particularly as preparedness mandates require local accountability.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding and a positive external funding environment—bolstered by recent FEMA and Smart Growth awards—support near-term investment in emergency communication infrastructure. Addressing this now aligns with EOP compliance requirements and strengthens local incident response before the next budget cycle closes.
