Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly accessible Emergency Operations Plan and a mass-notification system, while facing recurrent Grand River flooding and recent declared emergencies. NIMS adoption is required for federal preparedness grant eligibility, and media-documented communication gaps elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program deadline falls within the current 90-day window, offering a direct funding path with an approved local Emergency Management Performance Grant signaling investment readiness. Acting now closes critical preparedness gaps, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a binding federal mandate to meet ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 AA standards by April 26, 2028. Current public-facing digital infrastructure—including WordPress pages and hosted PDFs—contains accessibility gaps that expose the township to legal liability and restrict resident access to essential services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline establishes a defined compliance window, making early action critical for phased, budget-conscious implementation. No funded accessibility initiative currently exists, creating a greenfield opportunity alignable with upcoming fiscal planning cycles and potentially eligible for state or federal digital equity funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified a lack of in-vehicle video and telematics as a top fleet safety risk, with active public works operations and an ongoing Fire Department fleet modernization effort underscoring the need for improved vehicle monitoring and accountability.
The opportunity
Active fleet modernization funding provides a timely entry point to address vehicle safety gaps, and cooperative purchasing agreements can reduce procurement barriers for smaller-budget entities. Acting within the current budget cycle supports operational continuity and responsible stewardship of public resources.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & Cybersecurity Protection for Township Government
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
This township currently has no identified cybersecurity, endpoint, or password management solutions in place, creating a greenfield risk environment for a public-sector entity handling resident data and government operations. The absence of baseline protections exposes the township to data breaches, operational disruption, and potential compliance findings—particularly as an upcoming Treasurer's audit may surface these gaps.
The opportunity
An upcoming Treasurer's audit creates near-term urgency to address foundational cybersecurity deficiencies before findings become public record. Cooperative procurement vehicles may offer a cost-effective path forward that aligns with the township's constrained IT budget and current fiscal planning cycle.
