Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Lake Township faces a federal DOJ mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility compliance by April 2027, with enforcement risk if unmet. Current website services are under board review, and document remediation for PDF accessibility represents an additional unresolved compliance gap.
The opportunity
The April 2027 enforcement deadline and an adopted FY 2026–27 budget create an immediate, funded window to act. Addressing both platform and document accessibility now reduces legal exposure and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Dissatisfaction with current cloud services and the tabling of an existing remote monitoring agreement signal critical gaps in IT security and operational oversight. A pending compliance requirement for multi-factor authentication (MFA) and alignment with Michigan's Cyber Command Center (MC3) priority elevate the urgency for local action.
The opportunity
Grant funding through Edward Byrne JAG and HSGP—with July 2026 deadlines—explicitly covers IT and cybersecurity investments, making this actionable within the current 90-day window. With the FY 2026-27 budget adopted, near-term procurement is feasible and aligned with both compliance mandates and public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent fire truck damage incident has exposed gaps in fleet safety protocols, incident documentation, and driver monitoring. The absence of dash cameras and telematics leaves the agency without the data needed to reduce liability, improve driver accountability, and meet operational safety standards.
The opportunity
Multiple grants with July 2026 deadlines explicitly fund vehicle telematics and fleet safety technology, making this financially actionable within the current planning cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed available, streamlining procurement and accelerating time to deployment.

Discuss this project →Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Gaps in after-action reporting, vendor transition instability in mass notification, and ongoing EOP compliance risk leave the township exposed to operational and funding vulnerabilities. If local EOPs are not actively maintained, compliance standing and access to emergency management funding may be jeopardized.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding with near-term deadlines covers emergency management equipment and preparedness initiatives, creating an actionable window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Consolidating mass notification and strengthening EOP documentation now reduces displacement risk and positions the township for sustained compliance and grant eligibility.
Modernizing Resident and Staff Communication Services
Civic Engagement · Service Delivery
High Priority
About this project
Lake Township is actively evaluating modern communication platforms to address gaps in resident and staff outreach, with documented service delivery pain points driving the review. Without a reliable, centralized communication solution, the township risks delayed notifications, reduced public trust, and continued operational inefficiencies.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget has been adopted and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, supporting a streamlined, near-term procurement path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the township to close service gaps, improve resident responsiveness, and maximize available funding structures.
