Emergency Operations Plan & Coordinator Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly referenced Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a reliable mass notification system. These gaps create direct compliance exposure under LEPC, SARA Title III, Michigan EMHSD/MSP guidance, and FEMA EMPG grant requirements.
The opportunity
Active hazard mitigation priorities and available grant funding through HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG create a strong near-term window to close critical preparedness gaps. Current budget cycle timing supports planning and procurement decisions that protect residents and satisfy state and federal compliance mandates.
Local Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a dedicated, locally controlled mass notification system, currently depending on an inferred county-run solution that limits independent emergency communication. This gap, compounded by the absence of a documented EOP and named Emergency Management Coordinator, elevates operational and compliance risk under Michigan EMHSD and SARA Title III guidance.
The opportunity
Active grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, explicitly fund hazard mitigation and mass notification improvements, with cooperative purchasing pathways available to accelerate procurement within the current budget cycle. Addressing this now strengthens independent emergency response, closes compliance gaps, and improves outcomes for residents during critical incidents.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public website contains standalone PDFs and content that do not meet WCAG 2.1 standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to constituent access. General ADA and WCAG obligations remain unaddressed, and an active website redesign initiative has surfaced this gap as an immediate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The current website redesign cycle creates a practical, low-disruption window to remediate accessibility gaps before new content is published at scale. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, improves equitable public access, and aligns remediation costs with an already-budgeted project initiative.
Fleet Liability Risk Reduction and Evidence Management
Fleet Management · Public Works
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified liability exposure tied to fleet operations, prompting a $45,000 insurance fund adjustment to address risk. Gaps in incident evidence collection are limiting the ability to reduce insurance claims and demonstrate operational accountability.
The opportunity
Road millage renewals provide a dedicated funding pathway, and an aligned federal grant program has been identified to support fleet safety improvements. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the township to reduce claims, lower long-term liability costs, and strengthen public works accountability.
