Municipal Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a public municipal Emergency Operations Plan, a designated local Emergency Management Coordinator, and relies on opt-in county alerts that leave residents unnotified. These gaps create direct compliance risk under NIMS/EOP readiness requirements, threatening current and future federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
With a $240,000 Capital Outlay line in the FY2026–27 budget and active participation in the Saginaw County Hazard Mitigation Plan, funding and strategic alignment are in place now. Federal grants including HSGP and BRIC support EOP and flood mitigation initiatives, and MiDEAL membership streamlines compliant procurement.
Flood Mitigation & Hazard Preparedness Plan Execution
Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
The township is an active participant in the Saginaw County Hazard Mitigation Plan (2023–2028), with repetitive flood damage mitigation identified as a top strategic priority. Critical gaps—including no municipal Emergency Operations Plan and reliance on opt-in county alerts—elevate compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Federal grant funding is actively being pursued within a defined 2023–2028 planning horizon, creating a time-sensitive window to advance mitigation projects. An adopted capital outlay budget and cooperative purchasing eligibility further reduce barriers, enabling the township to close preparedness gaps and protect residents before the next severe weather event.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township fleet currently lacks documented dash cameras, telematics, or driver safety monitoring, leaving an unaddressed risk given proximity to high-risk roadways. Without these systems, the township has limited visibility into fleet operations, driver behavior, and liability exposure.
The opportunity
The COPS TEP grant explicitly funds vehicle telematics and field equipment, offering a near-term funding path, while MiDEAL membership streamlines procurement. The adopted FY2026–27 Capital Outlay budget signals available funding, making this an actionable window to address fleet safety proactively.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks a documented enterprise password management solution, leaving credential security uncontrolled and foundational cybersecurity protections absent. This gap exposes public systems and sensitive data to preventable risk with no existing controls to mitigate unauthorized access.
The opportunity
Available capital outlay funding in the current budget cycle and cooperative purchasing membership create a low-friction path to address this gap now. Establishing credential management baselines reduces operational risk, supports broader cybersecurity compliance, and may align with COPS TEP grant eligibility for IT systems.
