Emergency Operations Plan Review and Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Eaton County faces documented gaps in emergency preparedness, including an overdue EOP review, a recent Emergency Manager transition, and limited local control over its mass notification system. Strong compliance mandates require ongoing EOP maintenance, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A proposed 9-1-1 millage provides a direct funding path for the Emergency Management Office, and the Homeland Security Grant Program aligns well with this effort. Acting now leverages new leadership momentum and available funding to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization for Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification system is county-hosted, limiting local control and reliability for staff and resident communications during emergencies. With an Emergency Preparedness Score of 3, identified EOP review gaps, and a recent Emergency Manager transition, operational and compliance risk is elevated.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and proposed 9-1-1 millage funding provide a clear, near-term budget pathway for this modernization. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens emergency response continuity, and improves outcomes for residents and first responders.
9-1-1 Millage
Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces active gaps in endpoint protection across 600+ devices while restructuring its Technology Services department and establishing new CIO/CTO and CISO roles. Existing tools leave coverage inconsistencies, and first responder device deployments underscore the operational and public safety stakes of unresolved endpoint management risk.
The opportunity
Upcoming contract renewals, available unexpended funds, and new technology leadership create a timely window to advance endpoint security investments. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG provides an eligible funding path, and acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns modernization efforts with incoming leadership priorities.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county website faces documented ADA/WCAG compliance mandates alongside significant performance deficiencies—including high JavaScript error rates and low performance scores—that impair public access to government services. These gaps create legal exposure and erode equitable service delivery for residents.
The opportunity
Active website update efforts already underway provide a cost-efficient entry point to address accessibility and performance gaps within the current fiscal cycle. Remediating now reduces compliance risk, supports equitable public access, and may align with available state or federal digital equity funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Dash Camera Deployment
Fleet Safety · Law Enforcement Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county's fleet, including law enforcement vehicles, currently lacks telematics and dash camera coverage, leaving a documented safety gap highlighted by a patrol vehicle strike incident. Without video monitoring or GPS telematics, the county faces elevated liability exposure and limited situational awareness for fleet operations.
The opportunity
An upcoming technology contract renewal creates a timely integration or modernization window, and the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG provides a viable funding pathway for law enforcement fleet technology. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to close safety gaps, strengthen officer accountability, and reduce operational risk.

Discuss this project →Countywide Credential & Identity Security Program
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county is expanding its credential management footprint alongside new public-facing email infrastructure and the creation of dedicated CISO and CIO/CTO roles, signaling growing identity security complexity. Without a formalized program, credential sprawl and unauthorized access risks increase across county systems and staff.
The opportunity
The establishment of new security leadership roles creates a timely window to formalize identity and credential governance before risk exposure grows. This effort may align with Edward Byrne Memorial JAG or HSGP funding streams, supporting implementation within the current fiscal planning cycle.
