Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kochville Township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and faces ongoing Michigan statutory requirements for CEO approval and periodic review cycles. With a high Emergency Preparedness Gap score and recent severe weather incidents lacking published after-action findings, the township carries significant compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Michigan compliance mandates create a continuous, non-discretionary driver for action, and the recently approved Capital Improvement Plan signals an active project planning window. Identified grant pathways—including homeland security and emergency preparedness programs—offer funding options that align with the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks independent mass notification capability, relying entirely on a county-run system with no local redundancy or control. Combined with an overdue EOP review and recent severe weather incidents, this gap elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
An active county-level initiative to expand mass notification creates near-term momentum and a complementary opening for local redundancy investment. Grant programs including HSGP and BRIC offer eligible funding pathways, and alignment with the current fiscal planning cycle supports timely action to close preparedness gaps.

Discuss this project →Public Safety Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Monitoring
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The township's police and fire fleet currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, leaving no preventative monitoring or risk-reduction tools in place. This operational gap exposes the township to liability, limits incident documentation, and reduces fleet accountability across public safety operations.
The opportunity
Increased public safety budget allocations and applicable grant programs—including justice assistance and homeland security funding—create a timely pathway to address this gap. Acting within the current fiscal planning cycle supports responsible stewardship and strengthens operational oversight for first responders.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital content carries ongoing ADA compliance obligations, and identified accessibility gaps create legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Without remediation, residents with disabilities may be unable to access essential government information and services online.
The opportunity
ADA digital accessibility obligations are non-discretionary and continuous, making this a persistent compliance priority that aligns with current fiscal planning cycles. Addressing gaps now reduces legal risk, improves public service equity, and may be eligible for state or cooperative procurement pathways that streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No publicly identifiable cybersecurity tooling—such as endpoint management or privileged access controls—is currently in place, leaving systems and sensitive data exposed. With a confirmed annual IT and software budget of $75,300, foundational security infrastructure remains unaddressed, creating measurable operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A recently approved Capital Improvement Plan and a proposed technology budget increase signal active IT planning, creating a timely entry point. Cybersecurity initiatives may be eligible for state and federal grant funding, enabling meaningful risk reduction without full reliance on the general fund.
