Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Churchill Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a township-level mass notification system, and documented exercises, creating significant compliance exposure under Michigan Publication 201. Reliance on county infrastructure and an aging 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan leave residents and staff without adequate preparedness safeguards.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and multiple aligned federal grant programs provide clear, near-term funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Acting now addresses regulatory mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and positions the township to protect public safety before the next hazard event.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing web presence, with no documented remediation plan in place ahead of the April 24, 2026 federal deadline. Continued non-compliance exposes the township to legal liability and limits equitable digital access for residents.
The opportunity
The April 2026 compliance deadline creates immediate urgency, and the active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a timely window for funding allocation. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and may align with cooperative purchasing programs available to Michigan municipalities.
MiDEAL
Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented credentials across the township's IT environment represent an unmanaged cybersecurity risk, with no formal credential or privileged access controls currently in place. This gap exposes public systems and sensitive data to unauthorized access, creating operational and security vulnerabilities even without a direct mandate.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding provides a viable path to offset project costs, and early fiscal-year budget availability following the recent FY 2026–2027 hearing supports near-term action. Addressing credential risk now reduces exposure, strengthens IT posture, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of public infrastructure.
IT Endpoint & Infrastructure Consolidation
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a unified endpoint and IT management solution, creating fragmented operations and unmonitored security exposure across systems. Without consolidated visibility, the risk of undetected vulnerabilities and inefficient resource use remains an ongoing operational liability.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding provides a viable path to offset costs, and the active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle creates a timely window for new allocations. MiDEAL cooperative purchasing can reduce procurement complexity, accelerating implementation and strengthening IT resilience.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a fleet telematics solution, leaving transfer-station operations and roadside vehicles without visibility or accountability. This gap creates measurable operational risk, including exposure to disputed claims and unmonitored field activity.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and cooperative purchasing availability through MiDEAL offer a streamlined procurement path with reduced administrative burden. Grant programs including JAG, HSGP, and BRIC have been identified as eligible funding sources, supporting early fiscal-year action.
