Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating critical compliance and operational gaps. NIMS requirements and Michigan's EOP review cycle mandate these deficiencies be resolved to ensure readiness during major incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a public safety contract expiring in 2027 create a near-term decision window, while federal FEMA preparedness and mitigation grants offer a direct funding path. Acting now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community protection before the next review cycle.
Township-Level Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, relying on ad-hoc communication while a county-level platform leaves a critical gap in local alerting. This absence elevates operational and compliance risk, particularly given NIMS requirements and overdue EOP review obligations.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 procurement window, combined with active FEMA preparedness grant funding (including HSGP and BRIC), creates a timely and well-funded path to close this alerting gap. Acting now strengthens NIMS compliance, supports EOP readiness, and ensures residents and staff receive reliable emergency notifications.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
WCAG/ADA web accessibility standards carry a 2028 federal compliance deadline, requiring public-facing digital properties to meet defined accessibility thresholds. While some steps have been taken, ongoing gaps expose the entity to legal risk and limit equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The multi-year window to 2028 supports phased remediation planning, but early action reduces legal exposure and distributes costs across budget cycles. Addressing accessibility now aligns with FY planning and demonstrates proactive stewardship of equitable public service delivery.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The department's aging fleet and volunteer staffing model operate without telematics or dashcam coverage, leaving no visibility into driver behavior or incident response data. This gap elevates liability exposure and limits the operational insight needed to protect personnel and the public.
The opportunity
A recent ARPA-funded apparatus purchase signals active fleet investment and a receptive budget environment, while public safety fleet grants and cooperative purchasing vehicles offer accessible procurement paths. Acting within the current FY2026–2027 planning window positions the department to close safety gaps and strengthen accountability.
Strengthen Credential Security and Cybersecurity Hygiene
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization operates with low IT maturity — including reliance on consumer email accounts and minimal formal infrastructure — with no evidence of structured password management practices. This creates measurable credential security risk across staff and systems, increasing exposure to unauthorized access and data compromise.
The opportunity
The low-complexity environment supports a straightforward, low-cost deployment that can be advanced within the current or upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing credential hygiene now reduces operational risk, supports responsible stewardship of public resources, and lays a foundation for broader IT security improvements.
Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Consolidation
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Governance
High Priority
About this project
The department operates with low IT maturity, relying on consumer-grade tools and lacking formal endpoint oversight or device governance. This creates measurable security and operational gaps that expose public-sector data and continuity to avoidable risk.
The opportunity
Procurement thresholds support agile, streamlined purchasing within the current fiscal cycle—no formal bid process required for right-sized solutions. Addressing endpoint visibility and IT consolidation now reduces operational risk and positions the department for stronger compliance and infrastructure readiness.
