Emergency Operations Plan Development and Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county-level notification systems without township-specific outreach, and has no recorded exercises or reviews. A recent Muskegon River flooding incident exposes these preparedness gaps, elevating operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance is directly tied to grant eligibility, and the Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly funds alert, warning, and emergency communications initiatives. Acting within the current planning cycle aligns with the active Muskegon County Hazard Mitigation Plan update and supports procurement through cooperative contracting vehicles.
Mass Notification & Emergency Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township relies solely on a county-level notification system with no independent municipal alert capability, limiting its ability to respond to localized emergencies. A recent flooding incident exposed this gap, and the absence of a township-level EOP elevates both operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
HSGP funding explicitly supports alert, warning, and emergency communications upgrades, creating a viable path with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, strengthens resident safety, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's recently relaunched website carries unresolved WCAG 2.1 accessibility gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access under ADA requirements. Without remediation, the township remains at risk of complaints, litigation, and exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential digital services.
The opportunity
With the 2026–2027 budget approved and new website infrastructure already in place, this is an optimal moment to fund and execute accessibility remediation within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, improves service equity, and aligns with digital investment already underway.

Physical Security · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Cedar Creek Township's current physical security infrastructure has been flagged as insufficient and is under active review, creating operational and liability risk for staff and public facilities. The upgrade is being evaluated alongside broader emergency management priorities within the same budget cycle.
The opportunity
With the 2026–2027 budget recently approved and cooperative procurement pathways available, the township is well-positioned to advance this project efficiently and cost-effectively. Acting now reduces ongoing security risk and aligns with parallel emergency preparedness investments already under consideration.
