Close Critical Emergency Preparedness Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Munising Township lacks a verifiable mass-notification system and a public Emergency Operations Plan, while recent flooding incidents underscore growing risk. NIMS compliance is required for preparedness funding eligibility, and Michigan's recommended EOP review cycle adds further urgency for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026-27 budget signals an active spending cycle, and aligned federal grant programs—including hazard mitigation and homeland security funding streams—offer viable paths with limited local match. New leadership creates a timely opening to prioritize preparedness investments that protect lives and unlock compliance-gated funding.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Munising Police Department lacks telematics and documented driver safety programs, while facing an active civil-rights lawsuit and a history of officer-involved crashes. These gaps create significant legal, financial, and operational risk for the municipality and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget is active and already includes approved public safety equipment purchases, signaling a viable funding window. Cooperative purchasing membership further streamlines procurement, and ongoing pursuit of public safety grants may offset costs—making near-term action both practical and fiscally responsible.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's website is nearing launch and must meet WCAG and ADA accessibility standards before go-live, including document accessibility requirements. Failure to comply exposes the city to legal risk and creates barriers to equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The pre-launch window is the lowest-cost moment to embed accessibility compliance, avoiding expensive post-launch remediation. The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget provides an active funding cycle, making this an ideal time to act decisively and protect public access continuity.
Closing Critical Cybersecurity and Endpoint Gaps
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active cyber insurance training signals a recognized but unresolved security exposure, compounded by the absence of any password management solution. These gaps elevate risk to municipal operations, sensitive data, and compliance standing with insurers and grant administrators.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program and Edward Byrne JAG both support eligible cybersecurity tooling, aligning with the current FY2026–27 spending cycle. Incoming leadership presents a timely opening to assess security posture and act before insurance renewal or audit review.
