Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Oshtemo Township's current notification ecosystem is fragmented, with a legacy "Notify Me" system creating gaps in unified, reliable emergency communications. Active Emergency Operations Plan compliance mandates and coordination with county-level emergency management elevate the operational and public safety risk of inaction.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program offers a direct funding path, and $7.5 million in unspent ARPA funds facing an 8-month obligation deadline creates strong fiscal-year urgency. Advancing this initiative now supports EOP compliance, strengthens community-wide emergency response, and aligns with the township's current budget planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Strong compliance mandates require EOP review, yet no current, updated plan is confirmed in place and no dedicated emergency preparedness budget line exists. County-level emergency declarations and a newly appointed Emergency Management Director elevate the urgency of closing this gap before the next fiscal cycle.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program offers a direct funding path, and a confirmed $50,000 local match signals budget readiness. With the FY27 budget retreat approaching, now is the critical window to advance compliance, reduce operational risk, and strengthen community preparedness.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's website and digital services initiative is under pressure from WCAG/ADA accessibility mandates, with document accessibility identified as a specific gap. An incumbent CMS environment and competing platform presence signal a need for ecosystem consolidation to meet compliance and equitable public access requirements.
The opportunity
Approximately $7.5M in unspent ARPA funds carries an 8-month obligation deadline, and an upcoming FY27 budget retreat creates a near-term fiscal window. Addressing accessibility compliance now reduces legal exposure and ensures digital services are equitable and available to all residents.
Fire Fleet Visibility & Apparatus Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has an active fleet and apparatus maintenance initiative with recent capital purchases, yet no telematics solution is in evidence — creating a gap in real-time fleet visibility and driver safety monitoring. Without structured oversight, the department faces elevated operational risk across emergency response operations.
The opportunity
The Fire Fund's positive balance and active procurement activity signal leadership readiness and available budget for investment this fiscal cycle. Funding through the Homeland Security Grant Program may apply where a preparedness nexus is established, and unspent ARPA funds with a near-term deadline add urgency to accelerating this decision.

Discuss this project →Fire Department IT Administration & Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department's administration and technology initiative signals a need for improved IT management tooling, with active network equipment procurement already underway. The department's entire IT and software budget of $161,810 is dedicated to emergency management and public safety operations, making reliable endpoint oversight critical to continuity.
The opportunity
An upcoming FY27 budget retreat and an eight-month deadline on unspent ARPA funds create near-term fiscal triggers for advancing this investment. Addressing IT administration gaps now supports operational resilience, aligns with active infrastructure spending, and may be eligible for state cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline the process.
