Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Marion Township lacks a publicly confirmed Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and a clear township-level mass notification contract, with annual EM IT spend of just $850. These gaps create meaningful operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders during emergencies.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP and BRIC offer strong funding paths for emergency preparedness and alerting initiatives, with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the township to close critical preparedness gaps, formalize notification governance, and strengthen community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a firm website accessibility compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, with no remediation plan currently in place. Public-facing PDFs and digital documents compound the gap, elevating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to government services.
The opportunity
A hard compliance deadline creates immediate urgency to act within the current planning cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and this initiative aligns with statewide accessibility guidance — reducing legal risk while improving equitable access to public services for all residents.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township's annual IT spend of approximately $27,000 signals limited internal capacity, leaving endpoint management and cybersecurity capabilities underdeveloped. Without confirmed controls in place, the township faces operational risk and potential vulnerability to incidents that could disrupt public services.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs such as COPS TEP and JAG explicitly align with IT management and cybersecurity initiatives, offering meaningful funding offsets for budget-constrained townships. Acting within the current grant window allows the township to address efficiency gaps, reduce risk exposure, and strengthen service continuity ahead of potential state budget impacts.

Discuss this project →Fleet & Vehicle Operations Risk Management
Fleet Management · Operational Risk
High Priority
About this project
Marion Township currently lacks visibility into vehicle operations, creating an inability to document activity or defend against disputed claims. While no incidents are on record, untracked fleet operations represent a growing liability and stewardship risk for public assets.
The opportunity
An identified grant opportunity explicitly matching fleet management initiatives provides a low-barrier funding path for a pilot or full deployment. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the township to address operational risk proactively while leveraging cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.
