Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township recently launched a new CMS-hosted website, creating an immediate obligation to meet WCAG 2.1 and ADA accessibility standards, including document and PDF remediation. Unresolved compliance gaps expose the township to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
A dedicated budget line item for website redesign and ongoing accessibility aligns with the March planning cycle, making this an ideal window to act. Addressing WCAG compliance now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the township for solutions eligible through cooperative procurement vehicles such as MiDEAL.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan, with unresolved NIMS compliance gaps and no documented exercises or audits on record. Reliance solely on the county's plan creates preparedness and compliance exposure that elevates risk for residents and emergency responders.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs aligned with emergency management—including equipment, communications, and IT—are actively available and represent a viable funding path with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to close compliance gaps, strengthen independent response capacity, and reduce operational liability.
Township Mass Notification Independence and Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-operated alert system for public notifications, creating a gap in direct communication control during emergencies. This dependency limits the township's ability to issue timely, localized alerts and leaves its standalone emergency preparedness posture underaddressed.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer aligned funding paths for communications and emergency management infrastructure, and the active budget environment supports near-term evaluation. Establishing a dedicated township notification capability now reduces operational risk and strengthens public safety outcomes ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.
Fire Apparatus Fleet Safety & Telematics Deployment
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's active fire apparatus fleet currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating significant liability exposure and safety monitoring gaps. With volunteer responders operating high-value apparatus, the absence of fleet oversight elevates risk to personnel, equipment, and public trust.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement pathways available to Michigan municipalities can reduce acquisition costs and accelerate deployment within the current budget cycle. Addressing this gap now limits liability exposure and supports responsible stewardship of public safety assets before the next operational season.
