Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Integration
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Richville Fire lacks a publicly available municipal EOP and documented mass notification capability, while NIMS integration and MSP/EMHSD EOP review standards remain unmet. These gaps create direct risk to EMPG funding eligibility and leave the community without a compliant emergency response framework.
The opportunity
A defined 90-day action window aligns with FY2026 budget adoption and multiple available grant programs—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—that are eligible to fund this work. Closing compliance gaps now protects existing federal funding, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community emergency readiness.
Municipal Mass Notification Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No documented municipal-level mass notification capability exists for Richville Fire, creating a critical gap in resident and staff alerting during emergencies. This deficiency, combined with unresolved EOP and NIMS compliance requirements, elevates operational risk and threatens eligibility for emergency management grant funding.
The opportunity
Active grant windows — including federally backed emergency preparedness programs — support mass notification and EOP modernization with potential for significant cost offset. Addressing this gap now aligns with FY planning cycles, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community-level emergency response outcomes.
Fleet Safety Monitoring and Telematics Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent total loss of an Animal Control vehicle due to an accident has exposed a documented gap in fleet safety oversight and monitoring. Active pursuit of crash and safety data collection funding, combined with new vehicle acquisitions, signals growing operational and liability risk across county fleet operations.
The opportunity
An active grant application for crash and safety data collection indicates budget pursuit is already underway, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Addressing fleet safety now reduces liability exposure, supports responsible stewardship of public assets, and may qualify for cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website has an ongoing need for WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to services for residents with disabilities. Leadership has identified this as an active strategic initiative, signaling awareness but an unresolved remediation gap.
The opportunity
With FY2027 budget planning underway and a focus on proactive management and cost reduction, now is the right time to fund and formalize a compliant, accessible digital presence. Addressing this proactively reduces litigation risk and ensures equitable public service delivery ahead of enforcement action.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and IT Compliance Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Audit findings have identified deficiencies in basic cybersecurity and privacy practices, including a required Michigan universal chart of accounts conversion. With over $260,000 in annual IT spend, the county faces operational and compliance risk without a structured security and systems management framework.
The opportunity
Grant programs including HSGP, JAG, SLCGP, and EMPG are aligned funding sources for cybersecurity and IT management initiatives, and FY2027 budget planning prioritizes expenditure reduction and ROI. Acting within the current grant window positions the county to close compliance gaps while reducing long-term operational risk.
