Emergency Notification Consolidation and Operations Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, has no township-level notification testing, and operates a fragmented dual-platform notification ecosystem across township and county levels. A recent severe weather declaration amplifies the operational and public safety risk of delayed consolidation and planning.
The opportunity
Imminent grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP, BRIC) and new Public Safety Revenue Sharing funds disbursed in May 2026 create a narrow, high-value funding window. Acting now aligns with a new administration's openness to change and directly addresses documented preparedness gaps before the next weather season.
Hazard Mitigation and Township Emergency Preparedness Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active grant-funded Mecosta County Hazard Mitigation Plan update is underway, yet township-level emergency operations planning and notification systems remain fragmented and undocumented. The absence of a township EOP and inconsistent notification infrastructure elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 create a time-sensitive funding window, and a recent Public Safety Revenue Sharing disbursement provides additional locally available resources. Acting now aligns planning investments with active grant cycles, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.
Accelerate ADA Web Accessibility Compliance
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's Remus.org website has an active ADA compliance initiative underway, but remediation remains incomplete, leaving the municipality exposed to legal risk and limiting equitable digital access for residents. Website accessibility is a top-3 urgency driver, and gaps in digital inclusion signal further work is needed beyond current efforts.
The opportunity
With compliance in progress and leadership recently transitioned, the current fiscal environment presents a timely window to close remaining accessibility gaps before legal exposure escalates. Completing remediation now supports public equity mandates, aligns with annual budget planning, and may qualify for state or federal digital equity funding.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks documented fleet telematics and dash camera deployments, creating measurable liability and operational risk for staff and the public. Without visibility into vehicle activity, the agency has limited ability to manage risk, support incident documentation, or demonstrate responsible stewardship of public assets.
The opportunity
The May 2026 Public Safety Revenue Sharing disbursement and the approved Road Repair Millage present timely, mission-aligned funding pathways for fleet safety upgrades. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the township to reduce liability exposure, improve operational accountability, and leverage available capital before the next budget cycle.

IT Modernization · Public Transparency
High Priority
About this project
Active DDA realignment and a public accountability trigger have created organizational uncertainty, while gaps in operational efficiency tools limit staff effectiveness and resident-facing transparency. Leadership transition and a vacant trustee seat heighten the need for stable, accountable systems during this period of change.
The opportunity
A defined decision window—shaped by the annual budget hearing and DDA reorganization—creates near-term appetite for operational investments eligible through MiDEAL's streamlined procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to improve public trust and service delivery with reduced procurement barriers.
