Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Dayton Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county emergency management that showed critical gaps during recent flooding. Michigan Public Act 390, NIMS compliance mandates, and an active FEMA Major Disaster declaration elevate legal and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The Newaygo County Hazard Management Plan expires June 2026, creating a 90-day action window aligned with available federal Public Assistance funding from the FEMA disaster declaration. Formalizing emergency operations planning now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Dayton Township lacks a direct mass notification contract, relying on county-level systems that proved insufficient during recent flooding tied to a FEMA disaster declaration. This gap in resident communication capability elevates operational risk and conflicts with Michigan Public Act 390 and NIMS compliance requirements.
The opportunity
The township's Hazard Management Plan expires June 2026, and an active disaster declaration creates immediate urgency. Federal grant funding through FY2026 Homeland Security programs is directly applicable, and MiDEAL cooperative purchasing simplifies procurement—making this an actionable, fiscally responsible window to close a critical public safety gap.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified gaps across public-facing digital portals that do not meet the state-mandated WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standard. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and prevents equitable resident access to essential township services.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates provide a clear, immediate driver for structured remediation, and procurement may be streamlined through cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan local governments. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal risk and ensures all residents can access public services equitably.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Infrastructure Deployment
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks documented dashcam and telematics solutions, creating measurable liability exposure and limiting transparency in incident reporting. Without fleet safety infrastructure, public works operations remain vulnerable to unmitigated risk across daily service delivery.
The opportunity
The active FEMA Major Disaster declaration opens federal Public Assistance pathways that may support fleet safety as an emergency protective measure, aligning with the current funding window. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan local governments can simplify procurement and accelerate deployment within the fiscal cycle.
