Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no local control over mass notifications, and has not published after-action reports — gaps underscored by a recent flooding incident. Unmet NIMS and EOP review mandates risk the loss of federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding with a July 2026 deadline offers a clear path to address preparedness gaps with federal support, and the township's June 2026 budget approval cycle creates a well-aligned window for action. Acting now reduces compliance risk, strengthens local emergency response, and protects continued access to federal grants.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification Independence for Local Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-managed platform for mass notifications, limiting local control over emergency communications and the ability to tailor alerts to residents. This gap, combined with the absence of a public EOP and unmet NIMS compliance requirements, elevates operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding offers a near-term pathway to establish independent notification capability ahead of the July 2026 grant deadline. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle strengthens compliance, reduces county dependency, and improves emergency response outcomes for residents.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township relies on consumer-grade email accounts for official communications, reflecting fragmented identity and credential management with no enterprise security controls in place. This gap exposes public data and operations to significant risk, particularly as an active endpoint refresh signals broader IT modernization readiness.
The opportunity
COPS TEP grant eligibility through July 2026 creates a near-term funding path for cybersecurity improvements, and cooperative purchasing options support streamlined procurement. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces operational risk and advances the township's ongoing modernization goals.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing website has documented ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents. Unresolved compliance deficiencies increase liability risk and undermine the township's stated commitment to accessible public information.
The opportunity
Active budget planning cycles in late 2025 and summer 2026 offer a well-timed window to address compliance before audit or legal risk escalates. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan government entities can streamline procurement and support responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township is actively replacing fleet vehicles but lacks telematics and dashcam solutions, creating gaps in operational visibility and increasing liability exposure. Without these tools, the township faces elevated insurance costs and limited ability to document or mitigate safety incidents.
The opportunity
Road millage funding and COPS TEP grant eligibility through July 2026 present near-term pathways to offset project costs with limited local match. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the township to reduce insurance premiums, strengthen driver accountability, and improve public safety outcomes.
