Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a municipal-level Emergency Operations Plan and documented NIMS compliance, creating significant regulatory and preparedness gaps. Without formal exercises or independent mass notification capability, the community faces elevated operational risk and potential non-compliance with state mandates.
The opportunity
Michigan EOP review and NIMS adoption mandates create near-term urgency, while aligned federal grant programs offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current planning cycle supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and leverages the village's existing inclusion in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Mass Notification Independence for Municipal Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends on county-managed notification infrastructure for emergency communications, creating a critical gap in independent municipal response capability. This dependency conflicts with EOP and NIMS compliance requirements and leaves residents vulnerable if county coordination is delayed or unavailable.
The opportunity
Active grant programs—including hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness funding streams—support mass notification modernization with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes a documented preparedness gap, and strengthens the village's ability to protect residents independently.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's web presence has not been assessed for WCAG/ADA compliance, creating potential legal and equity risk for residents seeking public information online. Upcoming initiatives—including a Village Park opening and Master Plan finalization—will increase demand for accessible digital communications.
The opportunity
Active planning cycles tied to major community initiatives create a practical window to bundle digital accessibility improvements into existing project scopes. Cooperative purchasing programs may reduce procurement complexity, and compliance-aligned investments support equitable public access within current budget constraints.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The village currently operates without any commercial fleet monitoring or telematics solution, leaving a gap in incident prevention, driver accountability, and evidence documentation. Without vehicle monitoring tools, the municipality has limited visibility into fleet risk, liability exposure, and operational performance.
The opportunity
Grant funding aligned with public safety technology—including fleet safety initiatives—may offset costs for a small municipality with constrained capital budgets. Addressing this gap during active planning cycles positions the village to improve operational oversight and reduce long-term liability risk.
