Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no published Emergency Operations Plan, no HSEEP-style exercises or After Action Reviews, and fragmented mass notification capabilities. A recent flooding-related state of emergency and Michigan NIMS compliance mandates elevate the risk of continued inaction for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle includes potential increased funding for emergency services, and HSGP and EMPG grants offer direct funding paths with limited local match required. Addressing this now closes critical compliance gaps and strengthens the township's capacity to protect residents before the next emergency event.
Modernize Township Mass Notification for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's mass notification capabilities are fragmented and lack reliable township-level reach, reducing effective public communication during emergencies. A recent flooding event and state of emergency declaration have exposed these gaps, elevating operational risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and EMPG grant funding aligns directly with this project, and the approved FY2026–2027 budget cycle creates a near-term procurement window. Addressing notification gaps now advances NIMS compliance, strengthens emergency preparedness, and reduces risk to the communities served.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Township officials currently rely on personal vehicles for official duties, with no telematics or dash cam capabilities in place. These gaps create measurable safety risks, limit incident accountability, and reduce visibility into fleet operations and public liability exposure.
The opportunity
The FY2026 COPS TEP grant provides a direct funding path for fleet safety initiatives, and an upcoming county-level Road Commission millage may offer additional budget support. Acting within the current fiscal cycle enables procurement through cooperative purchasing, streamlining the path to implementation.

Cybersecurity · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
Township officials conducting government business through personal email accounts creates significant identity and data security vulnerabilities. County-level IT and cybersecurity governance mandates signal growing compliance pressure that extends to township operations and public trust.
The opportunity
HSGP, EMPG, and FY2026 COPS TEP grant funding provide viable pathways to address credential and identity management gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces breach risk, supports compliance alignment, and strengthens the township's overall security posture.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance across public-facing digital services, creating ongoing legal exposure under the DOJ web accessibility rule. Unresolved gaps risk civil rights complaints, service inequity for residents with disabilities, and reputational harm to the township.
The opportunity
The upcoming annual budget cycle presents a timely window to remediate compliance gaps before legal exposure escalates. Addressing accessibility now supports broader digital services modernization, aligns with federal mandates, and ensures equitable public access for all residents.
