Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Shelby Township's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue and NIMS adoption is required for grant eligibility, creating compounding compliance risk. Fragmented mass-notification systems and recent infrastructure incidents expose coordination gaps that directly affect resident safety and emergency response continuity.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant windows in 2026 — including BRIC and HSGP — fund preparedness and compliance initiatives, and a recent Fire Department leadership transition opens a near-term window for adoption. Acting within the current cycle reduces compliance exposure and positions the township to secure available funding with limited local match.
Consolidate Mass Notification for Unified Public Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently operates two separate mass-alert platforms, creating fragmentation and potential coverage gaps in resident and staff notifications during emergencies. This split infrastructure elevates operational risk and undermines the coordinated alerting required under emergency preparedness and NIMS compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Active grant windows — including HSGP and BRIC cycles with 2026 deadlines — support emergency notification infrastructure with limited local match requirements. Consolidating now aligns with the ongoing Community Connect rollout, strengthens EOP compliance posture, and reduces coverage risk ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
911 & Dispatch Technology Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active 911 call-handling capital project is underway, with dispatch infrastructure and personnel support identified as ongoing strategic priorities. Grant compliance mandates require technology upgrades in this area, and delays elevate operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
COPS TEP grant deadlines in 2026 create a defined funding window to advance this initiative with reduced local cost burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns capital investment with compliance requirements and strengthens emergency response outcomes for the community.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
A disputed billing incident and the absence of dash cameras or telematics systems expose the township to unresolved liability and claims risk. With significant capital projects increasing fleet activity, the lack of incident documentation and driver behavior monitoring creates growing operational and financial exposure.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as JAG and HSGP, alongside cooperative purchasing agreements, offer accessible procurement pathways within the current fiscal cycle. Deploying telematics and incident documentation now reduces liability risk, strengthens accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public assets.
Web Accessibility & IT Modernization Remediation
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's website has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. An active RFP for Technology Support Services signals the township is evaluating IT management and endpoint security capabilities to address operational risk.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing mechanisms are already in place, reducing procurement friction and supporting timely action within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility and IT modernization now mitigates legal liability, strengthens service delivery, and aligns with available funding pathways for eligible technology initiatives.
