Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct exposure under NIMS preparedness mandates and the FEMA-approved Midland County Hazard Mitigation Plan. This foundational gap undermines the township's ability to coordinate emergency response and protect residents, particularly amid growing public safety concerns tied to a large local solar development.
The opportunity
Active budget planning and eligibility for federal preparedness grant funding—including programs aligned with hazard mitigation—create a credible procurement path within the next 90 days. Addressing this now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the township to act before the current grant window closes.
Mass Notification & Emergency Communications Platform
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a standalone mass-notification platform, relying solely on county 911 dispatch for emergency alerts, which limits independent public communications. Growing public safety concerns tied to a large-scale solar development and NIMS preparedness mandates have elevated the urgency for a dedicated emergency communications solution.
The opportunity
A near-term procurement window has emerged, driven by active budget planning, solar project public interest, and grant eligibility through federal hazard mitigation funding programs. Addressing this gap now strengthens compliance posture, supports independent alerting capability, and aligns with the current fiscal and grant cycle.
Securing Credential Access Across Township Systems
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township has no enterprise password or credential management solution in place, leaving access controls for public systems unprotected and inconsistent. This gap increases exposure to unauthorized access, credential-based breaches, and audit findings across municipal operations.
The opportunity
With no incumbent tool to displace, implementation can move quickly within the current fiscal cycle and align with broader IT modernization priorities. Addressing this gap now reduces cybersecurity risk, supports responsible stewardship of public data, and may qualify under existing cooperative procurement vehicles.

IT Modernization · Records Management
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a defined document and digital content management strategy, creating operational inefficiencies and potential compliance gaps in public records handling. Without a structured solution, staff workflows, records retention, and public transparency obligations remain at risk.
The opportunity
Addressing document management now aligns with active budget planning cycles and positions the township to improve operational efficiency ahead of the upcoming fiscal year. Modernizing content workflows supports public accountability, reduces administrative burden, and may qualify for cooperative procurement vehicles available to Michigan municipalities.
