Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and faces urgent EOP/NIMS compliance mandates with direct consequences for grant funding eligibility. High FOIA activity around public communications and the absence of a modern mass notification system amplify operational and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The March 2026 budget adoption and alignment with active grant programs—including BRIC and HSGP—create a near-term window to fund and advance this initiative. Acting now preserves grant eligibility, closes critical preparedness gaps, and reduces compliance exposure before deadlines pass.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a modern, resident-facing mass notification platform, leaving the community without reliable emergency communications. The Master Plan formally recommends strengthening these systems, and existing county-level solutions do not fully close the gap, elevating both operational and EOP/NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
The Master Plan provides a documented mandate, and the adopted FY2026–2027 budget—including Fire Operating Fund transfers—signals active public safety investment. Grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness and hazard mitigation offer viable funding paths, making this an urgent near-term priority for resident safety and compliance readiness.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Equipment Risk Management
Fleet & Asset Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Active legal exposure from equipment operations and the acquisition of high-value apparatus signal meaningful financial and operational risk across the township's fleet. Rising insurance costs and unmitigated asset vulnerabilities underscore the need for proactive, technology-supported risk management.
The opportunity
Grant programs with upcoming deadlines offer partial funding alignment for fleet safety technology, reducing the local fiscal burden. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the township to lower legal exposure, protect high-value public assets, and demonstrate responsible stewardship.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township operates under a partial cybersecurity mandate requiring password complexity controls, yet gaps in endpoint management and credential security remain unaddressed. These vulnerabilities expose municipal systems and resident data to operational and compliance risk within an existing managed services environment.
The opportunity
With the township's FY budget adopted in March 2026, a current procurement window is open for technology investments aligned to existing IT spend. Addressing endpoint and credential security gaps now reduces audit exposure and may qualify for cooperative purchasing vehicles common to Michigan municipalities.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing website and reliance on Adobe PDF documents create potential gaps in meeting ADA and WCAG accessibility standards. Unresolved compliance obligations expose the township to legal risk and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The March 2026 budget adoption marks an active procurement window, and accessibility remediation may be eligible for state or federal funding support. Addressing these obligations now reduces legal exposure, advances digital equity, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
