Fire Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Health Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates an aging fire fleet—including a 26-year-old engine and a tanker requiring recent costly repairs—with no telematics solution in place to monitor vehicle health or driver safety. Public and media scrutiny over fleet conditions has elevated operational and reputational risk for township leadership.
The opportunity
A proposed $2.34M fire millage on the August 2026 ballot and a $650K state appropriation for a new tanker create a defined, near-term funding milestone for fleet modernization. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed available, streamlining procurement and enabling faster deployment ahead of the fiscal deadline.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township faces active compliance mandates around NIMS adoption and Emergency Operations Plan guidance, with recent tornado declarations exposing real gaps in emergency response capability. County-level 911 coordination requirements further elevate the need for interoperable, standards-aligned emergency management infrastructure.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program deadline falls within a 90-day window, and a proposed 2026 fire millage creates parallel funding momentum for public safety initiatives. New township leadership and active capital planning present a timely opening to advance compliance, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kalamazoo County's legacy civic alert platform may no longer meet current emergency communication standards, particularly given recent tornado declarations and NIMS compliance requirements. Gaps in county-township notification coordination elevate operational and public safety risk for residents during time-critical events.
The opportunity
An active Homeland Security Grant Program window within 90 days creates a near-term funding pathway to address notification gaps with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with NIMS compliance mandates, supports county-level emergency coordination, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified gaps in WCAG and Section 508 website accessibility compliance, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to public-facing digital services for residents. Unresolved compliance gaps carry increasing risk as accessibility enforcement and public expectations continue to rise.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility gaps aligns with the township's active 2025–2030 Capital Improvement Plan, providing a natural funding pathway within current planning cycles. Acting now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the township to meet compliance standards before gaps escalate to formal findings.
Securing Township Credentials and Cyber Infrastructure
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks any cybersecurity or password security solution, creating a greenfield exposure to credential-based threats and data breaches. Compliance mandates referencing cybersecurity and password security requirements remain unmet, elevating operational and regulatory risk for staff and residents.
The opportunity
County-level ARPA funds must be obligated by end of 2026, creating a near-term funding window that may extend to township cybersecurity initiatives, with HSGP also potentially applicable. Acting now addresses compliance gaps, reduces breach risk, and aligns with active regional technology investment momentum.
