Emergency Operations Plan Review & Exercise Support
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's Emergency Operations Plan is more than five years old, exceeding Michigan's required 2–4 year review cycle, with no documented exercises or audits on record. This gap creates measurable compliance and preparedness risk, leaving residents, staff, and public safety personnel without a validated response framework.
The opportunity
Grant funding with a July 2026 deadline provides a near-term, low-local-match path to address the overdue EOP, and incoming leadership presents a timely window to reset preparedness priorities. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented mass notification ecosystem across multiple platforms, reducing reliability and speed of resident and staff alerting. A high-profile security incident in February 2026 has heightened urgency to establish a unified, dependable notification capability.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with grant-eligible funding windows and addresses an active operational risk before the next emergency event.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Replacement & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A police vehicle and fleet replacement program is budget-approved in the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan, making it an active, funded priority. An ongoing civil case against the township and police department underscores potential liability exposure tied to fleet operations, elevating urgency for improved oversight and accountability.
The opportunity
CIP funding is already secured, and available grant programs citing law enforcement equipment and telematics as eligible uses offer additional financial pathways ahead of a July 2026 deadline. Acting within this fiscal window reduces liability risk, strengthens operational accountability, and maximizes use of approved public safety capital.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Posture and Incident Response Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A high-profile security incident in early 2026 exposed gaps in the township's cybersecurity posture, compounded by an open IT staffing vacancy that leaves critical systems underprotected. Digital transformation and cybersecurity improvement are active strategic priorities, making this a compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
Available grants listing information systems as eligible uses provide a near-term funding pathway, and a contract renewal due by end of 2027 establishes a clear decision window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk and positions the township to leverage cooperative procurement for cost efficiency.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital properties do not meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents who rely on online services. Unaddressed gaps risk ADA-related complaints, litigation, and inequitable access to government information and services.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates make this a non-discretionary priority, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk while improving equitable service delivery. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and maximize stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →IT Endpoint Management & Staffing Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The township faces operational strain from an open IT position and a reported annual IT and software spend of just $6,500, signaling significant underinvestment in infrastructure and tooling. These gaps elevate risk around endpoint visibility, remote management, and service continuity for staff and residents.
The opportunity
An incoming IT hire creates a timely window to establish modern endpoint and remote management practices aligned with the township's contract renewal horizon through end of 2027. Acting within the current planning cycle supports long-term operational resilience and responsible stewardship of limited public IT resources.
