Township-Level Mass Notification & Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks an independent mass notification system, relying entirely on the county for emergency alerts, while EOP status and planning processes remain unverified. A recent flood declaration highlights the operational risk this gap poses to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) directly supports emergency communications investments, and the Fire Operating Millage presents a near-term local funding pathway. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens preparedness, reduces liability, and aligns with NIMS compliance expectations.
Emergency Operations Plan & Hazard Mitigation Adoption
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's EOP status is unknown and planning processes are untested, creating measurable compliance risk against NIMS and EOP mandates. Local adoption of the Hazard Mitigation Plan remains incomplete, compounding governance gaps and leaving residents without a validated emergency response framework.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs aligned with emergency management planning—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—represent active funding pathways with limited local match requirements. The Fire Operating Millage and healthy general reserves provide additional financial capacity, and current leadership transitions create a timely window to advance planning priorities before the next budget cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a binding WCAG 2.1 AA compliance mandate with an April 2028 deadline, with identified gaps in document and portal accessibility. Failure to remediate risks ADA violations, resident service inequity, and potential legal exposure for the municipality.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined, time-bound procurement window aligned with current budget planning cycles, and healthy general fund reserves support near-term investment. Acting now allows for phased remediation, reduces compliance risk, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township faces vehicle repair budget overruns, insurance coverage concerns related to retrofits, and no active dash camera or telematics deployment. The recent addition of an ATV and the absence of a fleet vendor underscore an unmanaged safety and liability gap affecting public operations.
The opportunity
Healthy general reserves and alignment with the COPS TEP grant create a viable funding pathway to address fleet safety now. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces insurance liability exposure and establishes a foundational fleet safety program before risks escalate.
