Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, relies on opt-in county alerts rather than a proactive notification system, and experienced strained resources during recent severe weather. Compliance mandates under MSP/EMHSD Pub. 201 and Pub. 204 create urgent regulatory pressure to formalize preparedness documentation and protocols.
The opportunity
Active grant cycles, including Homeland Security and hazard mitigation funding streams, align directly with this project and reduce the local financial burden. Addressing these gaps now strengthens regulatory compliance, improves resident safety outcomes, and positions the township ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on opt-in county-level alerts with no independently managed notification capability, leaving residents and officials underserved during emergencies. Compliance mandates under MSP/EMHSD Pub. 201 and Pub. 204, combined with recent flood events, elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
An active Hazard Mitigation Plan update signals leadership engagement, and grant programs including HSGP and BRIC offer strong funding alignment for this initiative. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the township to close a critical preparedness gap and meet state emergency management compliance requirements.
Credential and Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Township officials are operating on consumer-grade email accounts with no enterprise credential or endpoint management tools in place, creating significant exposure to unauthorized access and data compromise. This greenfield gap leaves public systems, staff, and resident data without baseline protections expected under current cybersecurity standards.
The opportunity
COPS TEP grant funding directly aligns with cybersecurity initiatives of this type, and the current budget cycle reflects active willingness to invest in technology modernization. Addressing credential and endpoint gaps now reduces operational risk, supports compliance posture, and leverages cooperative procurement pathways to maximize public funds.

Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township is actively procuring security cameras as part of a budget-approved IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative. Gaps in physical security infrastructure present operational and public safety risks that this investment is designed to address.
The opportunity
Budget approval is already secured and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline and accelerate procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces administrative burden and delivers public safety improvements without delay.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's website has an identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gap, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limiting equitable public access to government information and services. Without remediation, residents with disabilities face barriers, and the township remains at risk of civil complaints or enforcement action.
The opportunity
The America250MI grant and improved fiscal capacity from Michigan's 2026 Consensus Revenue update present a timely funding pathway for this remediation effort. Addressing the gap now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and aligns with the current budget planning cycle.
