Emergency Operations Plan Development & Management
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Albert Township lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, has unresolved mass notification governance gaps, and has conducted no recorded preparedness exercises. A March 2025 ice storm exposed these deficiencies firsthand, and the township's Master Plan explicitly mandates development of a coordinated emergency management program.
The opportunity
Dedicated federal funding through HSGP and EMPG aligns directly with this initiative, reducing local fiscal burden during the current grant cycle. Acting now addresses documented compliance and operational risk while positioning the township to meet Master Plan directives before the next emergency event.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Albert Township's IT environment is fragmented, with township-hosted email and decentralized endpoints identified as key vulnerabilities. Leadership has flagged cybersecurity as a top priority, and the absence of enterprise-grade security tools elevates risk to municipal operations and resident data.
The opportunity
An active MI Par Plan grant application and an approved 2026/27 budget create a funded, near-term procurement window for cybersecurity solutions. Acting now aligns with leadership priorities, reduces operational exposure, and leverages available state funding before the current grant cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Albert Township's fire and EMS apparatus operate across rural terrain with aging vehicles and limited oversight of driver behavior, creating liability exposure and operational risk. Without proactive fleet monitoring, the township lacks visibility into vehicle health, response performance, and incident documentation needed to protect staff and public assets.
The opportunity
The township's approved 2026/27 budget signals capacity for targeted, pilot-scale investments, making a phased telematics deployment financially feasible within the current planning cycle. Addressing fleet monitoring now reduces liability risk, supports safer emergency response, and may align with available state or federal funding pathways through programs supporting rural public safety operations.

IT Modernization · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The township is mid-transition to a new WordPress-based website, surfacing gaps in digital accessibility and content management. While formal ADA mandates may not currently apply at this scale, unaddressed accessibility barriers create reputational and service delivery risk for residents.
The opportunity
The active vendor transition creates a low-disruption window to embed accessibility and usability standards before the new site is fully deployed. Modest IT budget increases signal available capacity, and acting now avoids costly retrofits in a future compliance environment.
