Emergency Operations Plan Development & Lifecycle Management
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a standalone EOP and depends on a county emergency management department facing potential budget cuts, creating significant operational and continuity risk. Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS compliance mandates require a formal EOP lifecycle management process, leaving the village exposed to regulatory and public safety consequences.
The opportunity
A Public Safety Millage proposal on the November 2026 ballot represents a dedicated funding pathway for emergency management, and available federal grant programs align directly with EOP development. A current leadership transition creates a timely opening to advance this initiative ahead of the upcoming fiscal and ballot cycle.
Establish Local Mass Notification Control
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village relies entirely on county-managed mass notification systems for resident alerting, leaving local officials without direct control over emergency communications. County budget pressures and the absence of a village-level Emergency Operations Plan compound this dependency, elevating service continuity and compliance risk under Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS mandates.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness—including HSGP and JAG—offer viable funding pathways with strong fit for this project scope. A pending Public Safety Millage proposal and an active leadership transition create a timely window to advance local notification independence and close critical compliance gaps before the next fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing web presence, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. PDF and document accessibility remain unaddressed, compounding risk during the current fiscal and budget planning period.
The opportunity
WCAG and ADA mandates create a clear compliance deadline tied to the upcoming fiscal cycle, with remediation eligible for budget alignment and potential state funding pathways. Acting now reduces legal liability, improves equitable resident access, and positions the village ahead of enforcement risk.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently operates its vehicle fleet without a telematics solution, creating gaps in driver behavior monitoring, incident documentation, and real-time fleet visibility. While no immediate safety crisis has been flagged, the absence of this capability represents an identified operational risk and area for improvement.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a cost-effective, low-barrier procurement path for fleet telematics, reducing the need for a lengthy competitive bid process. As broader public safety conversations advance — including a pending millage proposal — aligning fleet safety improvements within the upcoming budget cycle positions the village to act efficiently when leadership priority develops.
