Emergency Management Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces documented gaps in emergency management, including the absence of dedicated EM leadership, incomplete EOP documentation, and reliance on county systems for critical notifications. Non-compliance with NIMS requirements and EOP maintenance mandates puts existing and future funding at direct risk.
The opportunity
Multiple grant deadlines in July 2026, combined with $105,000 in annually dedicated Fire Protection and EMS assessment funding, create a well-funded, time-sensitive window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community preparedness ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Closing the Independent Emergency Alerting Gap
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends entirely on county infrastructure for mass notifications, leaving it without standalone emergency alerting capability. This dependency creates a critical gap in NIMS compliance, EOP maintenance requirements, and the ability to communicate independently during a localized emergency.
The opportunity
Active grant programs—including EMPG and HSGP—with deadlines approaching in the upcoming fiscal cycle can offset acquisition costs for emergency alerting solutions. Addressing this gap now strengthens compliance standing, reduces operational risk, and positions the village for independent, resilient public communications.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
Internal scrutiny over staff vehicle use and ongoing workers' compensation costs signal unmanaged fleet risk, while the absence of a comprehensive telematics solution leaves a critical operational gap. Without real-time visibility into vehicle activity and driver behavior, the municipality faces continued liability exposure and inefficient asset management.
The opportunity
Large capital infrastructure projects and cooperative purchasing agreements offer budget alignment and streamlined procurement pathways to advance this initiative within the current fiscal cycle. Implementing fleet telematics now reduces workers' compensation liability, strengthens accountability, and improves stewardship of publicly owned assets.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village relies on an external IT provider and carries a modest but active technology spend, with ongoing infrastructure upgrades signaling broader modernization needs. Without a structured cybersecurity framework, public systems and sensitive data face growing exposure and compliance risk.
The opportunity
SLCGP and JAG grant windows offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity improvements, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now positions the village to reduce operational risk, strengthen IT governance, and maximize available public funding before deadlines pass.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's current website platform presents a gap in meeting WCAG 2.1 and ADA accessibility requirements, limiting equitable digital access for residents. While no major audit deficiencies have been identified, the standing compliance mandate creates ongoing legal exposure and service delivery risk.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility compliance on a staged timeline aligns with the current grant window and cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan municipalities, reducing local cost burden. Acting within the upcoming fiscal cycle mitigates legal risk and ensures residents have equitable access to government services online.
