Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lodi Township lacks a posted township-level EOP, a dedicated mass-notification system, and documented emergency exercises, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. Michigan's EOP review mandate and reliance on county-level alert infrastructure leave residents and staff underserved during localized emergencies.
The opportunity
Active budget lines for siren maintenance, a pending fire authority millage vote in November 2026, and available grant funding create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps. Acting now aligns with Michigan compliance requirements and positions the township to leverage dedicated public safety funding before the fiscal cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lodi Township relies entirely on Washtenaw County for emergency alerts, with no township-owned mass notification system, no local EOP, and no documented exercises on record. This dependency limits the township's ability to independently reach residents during incidents, elevating operational risk and leaving a compliance gap under Michigan's EOP review requirements.
The opportunity
Public safety grant funding—including opportunities with deadlines in the upcoming summer cycle—explicitly covers mass notification and emergency preparedness technology with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the current leadership transition, active budget planning, and dedicated emergency management spend already on the books.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's WordPress site and associated PDF documents contain documented WCAG/ADA accessibility gaps identified through a formal compliance audit. A hard remediation deadline of April 26, 2028 creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access if gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
A confirmed audit finding and fixed federal deadline make this a time-sensitive, compliance-driven priority aligned with the current budget planning cycle. Phased remediation approaches can fit within existing procurement thresholds, reducing legal risk while improving digital equity for all residents.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates trucks and vans without telematics or dashcam systems, creating liability exposure and limiting oversight of driver behavior and incident response. This gap is flagged as a high-urgency Capital Improvement Plan item, signaling recognized operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
COPS TEP and JAG grant deadlines in July 2026 explicitly cover vehicle-mounted telematics and cameras, providing a near-term, funded procurement path. Acting within the current CIP cycle positions the township to reduce liability, improve road safety outcomes, and maximize eligible reimbursement.
