Fire Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Risk Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recently acquired fire apparatus is operating without telematics, creating liability and risk-control gaps for heavy vehicle operations. A pending millage vote allocates an estimated $229,000 in its first year for vehicles and equipment, and a countywide transit authority initiative signals further fleet expansion needs.
The opportunity
An August 2026 millage vote and a concurrent state fleet electrification grant deadline create a narrow, high-confidence funding window within the next 90 days. Acting now aligns procurement with active budget signals, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and a clear path to reducing operational liability for public safety personnel.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township and fire department lack a formalized Emergency Operations Plan, and recent county emergency management leadership turnover has disrupted local planning continuity. Compliance exposure under NIMS and the Michigan Emergency Management Act elevates operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator creates a timely opening to establish planning priorities aligned with state and federal mandates. Acting now supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and positions the township to leverage available public safety funding in the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification platform relies on an opt-in model, meaning a significant share of residents may never receive critical emergency alerts. This coverage gap poses real public safety risk and undermines reliable emergency communication during time-sensitive incidents.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator brings a timely window to reassess notification infrastructure and align modernization efforts with emergency preparedness mandates. Acting within this leadership transition supports compliance with NIMS and Michigan Emergency Management Act requirements while strengthening countywide alert reach.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county carries nearly $1M in annual IT and software spend and is actively migrating to Microsoft 365 and Azure, while managing major contract renewals across virtualization and core business systems. These overlapping transitions create identity, endpoint, and access security gaps that elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active procurement cycles and near-term contract renewals create a natural window to address cybersecurity gaps alongside existing infrastructure decisions. Investments may align with the current fiscal year and are eligible for state and federal technology funding programs available to local government entities.
