Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county-level mass notification with potential coverage gaps, and experienced local resource shortfalls during a recent flooding event. An EOP review is mandated under Michigan guidance, and a hazard mitigation plan and gathering site designation are also outstanding.
The opportunity
FY 2026–2027 funds have been allocated, creating an immediate procurement window, while grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines offer additional funding paths for eligible preparedness initiatives. Acting now closes compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and reduces operational and liability risk before the next emergency event.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Cyber Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks direct cybersecurity protections against email threats, hacking, bank account compromise, and electronic file exposure, while recent audit findings (2024–2025) cited financial control deficiencies now monitored by the state. These gaps elevate fraud, misstatement, and compliance risk across public operations.
The opportunity
A budget-approved IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative and upcoming grant deadlines in July 2026 create a defined window to act. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit exposure, satisfies compliance mandates, and protects public funds through procurement pathways eligible for cooperative purchasing.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and Endpoint Security
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township has budget-approved funding for workstation replacements and a new server installation, addressing aging infrastructure with direct endpoint management implications. Recent audit findings citing deficiencies in financial controls and lack of cyber protections elevate operational and compliance risk across township systems.
The opportunity
Funds are allocated within the completed FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, creating a defined near-term procurement window. Acting now addresses audit-identified control gaps, strengthens cybersecurity posture, and leverages cooperative purchasing agreements to streamline procurement and maximize public dollars.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-operated alert system for emergency notifications, limiting direct local control and risking incomplete resident reach. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review and recent flooding that exposed resource gaps, this dependency elevates both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active emergency preparedness grant windows in July 2026 offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting now addresses EOP compliance mandates, strengthens direct community notification capability, and positions the township ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Fleet Telematics for Liability Risk Reduction
Fleet Management · Public Works Risk
High Priority
About this project
The township faces rising liability loss percentages and an increased public official liability deductible, signaling gaps in fleet risk oversight. Implementing telematics can improve driver behavior, provide incident documentation, and reduce exposure for publicly operated vehicles and road assets.
The opportunity
A recently approved public works budget creates a defined funding window, and cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement within established thresholds. Acting now aligns with the current budget cycle and supports measurable reductions in liability costs and operational risk.
