Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Aetna Township lacks a township-level Emergency Operations Plan and must complete a mandatory Michigan EOP review with CEO signature on a four-year cycle. Without NIMS implementation, the township risks losing eligibility for federal preparedness funds—a gap amplified by recent county-level disaster declarations.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates and an active county hazard mitigation initiative create a clear near-term deadline, while FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program funding offers a direct path to offset costs. Acting within the current grant window reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community preparedness outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies solely on a county-administered notification system, leaving it without independent capacity to alert residents and staff during emergencies. This gap, combined with the absence of a township-level Emergency Operations Plan, creates significant operational and compliance risk under Michigan's EOP review mandates and NIMS eligibility requirements.
The opportunity
Active FEMA Hazard Security Grant Program funding aligns directly with this preparedness gap, offering a viable path to implementation within the current grant cycle. Addressing this now strengthens independent emergency response, supports federal funding eligibility, and reduces liability exposure for township leadership and residents.

Discuss this project →ADA-Compliant Website Rebuild & Accessibility Compliance
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An ADA-compliant website rebuild is actively underway, with a documented mandate for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. Gaps in document accessibility and the current website platform create legal liability and limit equitable access to municipal services for residents.
The opportunity
The in-progress rebuild opens an immediate procurement window aligned with the current IT vendor transition and fiscal planning cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal exposure, supports cooperative purchasing pathways, and advances equitable, resident-facing service delivery.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township is actively dissolving its current IT vendor contract and transitioning to a new provider, creating an immediate and open procurement window. This mid-transition period elevates operational and cybersecurity risk, requiring careful vetting of new services to ensure continuity and data protection for township staff and residents.
The opportunity
The active vendor transition signals confirmed budget availability and board-level commitment to IT investment, aligning with the current fiscal cycle. The COPS TEP grant is identified as applicable to IT and cybersecurity solutions, offering a funding pathway that reduces local cost burden while strengthening public-sector resilience.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Modernization Through Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a documented maintenance backlog for fire apparatus and municipal vehicles, compounded by the absence of in-vehicle cameras and telematics, creating measurable safety and liability exposure. With no fleet management platform currently in place, operational visibility into vehicle health, driver behavior, and asset utilization remains a critical gap.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and COPS TEP grant funding are applicable to fleet safety initiatives, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, compliant procurement path. Addressing this gap now reduces public safety risk, supports responsible stewardship of municipal assets, and aligns with the township's active public safety investment cycle.
