Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Hazard Mitigation Readiness
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified critical gaps in its Emergency Operations Plan documentation, with no publicly confirmed current plan on record. Michigan state guidance mandates EOP maintenance, and non-compliance risks loss of state and federal aid, increased liability, and reduced capacity to respond to disasters—including recent severe weather events with significant recovery costs.
The opportunity
FY26 grant programs and the upcoming 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan review create a well-defined window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can accelerate procurement, reducing administrative burden and aligning with current fiscal planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current emergency notification system relies on opt-in enrollment, limiting reach and reliability during critical events such as the severe weather incidents the county has already experienced. This identified preparedness gap, combined with EOP maintenance mandates under Michigan guidance, elevates both operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan review creates a timely, natural milestone to advance notification modernization with clear mission alignment. FY26 grant programs and cooperative purchasing agreements are available to reduce local cost burden and streamline acquisition, supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.
FY26 TEP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals with unresolved WCAG AA gaps create legal exposure and restrict equitable access to government services for residents. Active compliance mandates require remediation, and unaddressed deficiencies elevate liability risk for the entity.
The opportunity
Compliance timelines create a clear near-term driver for action, and cooperative procurement vehicles already in place can streamline vendor engagement and reduce administrative burden. Addressing accessibility gaps now protects the entity from legal risk while improving service delivery for all residents.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's public safety fleet shows rising operational costs—fuel, repairs, and equipment rental—alongside recent collision activity and new vehicle additions, with no documented safety technology in place. Gaps in driver monitoring and evidence collection present operational risk and liability exposure for the county.
The opportunity
Planned heavy equipment and law enforcement vehicle acquisitions create a near-term window to integrate fleet safety technology, with FY26 funding programs potentially applicable to public safety technology investments. Acting within the current budget cycle supports cost control, reduces liability, and strengthens fleet accountability across departments.
FY26 TEP
Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a documented endpoint management or password management solution, creating measurable gaps in credential security and device oversight. With an existing Microsoft 365 environment and SCADA infrastructure in use, unmanaged endpoints and weak credential controls elevate operational and cyber risk across departments.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions—including a new County Administrator—create a timely opening for technology modernization across departments, with no incumbent solutions to displace. Confirmed cooperative purchasing memberships streamline procurement, and this initiative aligns well with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
