Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a mass notification platform, and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating significant compliance and operational risk. Fragmented alert systems and unmet NIMS implementation requirements further compound preparedness gaps affecting resident and staff safety.
The opportunity
Active mutual aid participation beginning June 2026 and an authorized FEMA grant application signal a near-term investment window aligned with the March 31 fiscal year end. The Homeland Security Grant Program and Michigan Fire Equipment Grant offer direct funding paths to close preparedness gaps and meet compliance mandates.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a dedicated mass notification platform, relying instead on fragmented, county-managed alerting tools that limit direct control during incidents. This gap elevates operational risk for both staff and residents and conflicts with NIMS implementation and EOP compliance requirements.
The opportunity
With no incumbent platform in place, adoption friction is low and the path to a unified alerting capability is clear. The 2026 HSGP deadline and the Michigan Fire Equipment Grant opening in May 2026 provide direct, time-sensitive funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to meet compliance mandates and strengthen community-wide emergency response.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The township website does not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, and existing PDF workflows create additional barriers for residents with disabilities. These gaps create legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limit equitable access to public services and information.
The opportunity
Fiscal year-end budget alignment (March 31) creates a timely window to fund remediation before the next cycle closes. Proactively addressing compliance gaps reduces legal risk, improves resident service delivery, and positions the township ahead of potential audit or complaint triggers.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township is currently using a consumer Gmail account for official government communications, creating a direct and high-urgency cybersecurity vulnerability. An explicit mandate to adopt password and credential security best practices for local government IT remains unmet, elevating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
With the fiscal year closing March 31, near-term budget alignment exists to address this gap before the next cycle. Secondary cybersecurity funding through the Homeland Security Grant Program may offset costs, making this an actionable, compliance-driven investment with strong public stewardship justification.

Discuss this project →Modernizing Endpoint Management for Township IT
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks enterprise endpoint management, leaving critical gaps in device visibility, patch management, and access control across public infrastructure systems. Without centralized oversight, the risk of undetected vulnerabilities and non-compliance with cybersecurity best practices for local government remains elevated.
The opportunity
With no existing solution to displace, implementation can move quickly — and secondary cybersecurity funding through HSGP may offset costs, with a 2026 deadline creating near-term urgency. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and align with the township's fiscal year cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks telematics and dash camera coverage across its fleet, limiting visibility into vehicle incidents and driver behavior. Without this data, the township faces elevated liability exposure and reduced ability to defend against claims or demonstrate operational accountability.
The opportunity
Proactively addressing fleet visibility gaps reduces long-term liability costs and supports responsible stewardship of public assets ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement pathways may reduce acquisition costs, making this a practical near-term investment without requiring dedicated grant funding.
