Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Activation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent water main break prompted a declared state of emergency, exposing critical gaps in EOP currency, public availability, and notification reach. Michigan mandates EOP review every four years, and a Dam Emergency Action Plan is separately required by EGLE, compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A budget-approved strategic initiative and early FY2026 planning cycle create an immediate window to act, with multiple federal and state grant programs offering direct funding paths for emergency preparedness solutions. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens public safety response, and aligns with current appropriations timelines.

Emergency Management · Infrastructure Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village is mandated by EGLE to maintain a current Dam Emergency Action Plan, a distinct compliance requirement separate from its general Emergency Operations Plan. Failure to meet this regulatory obligation creates legal exposure and elevates public safety risk tied directly to critical water infrastructure.
The opportunity
Regulatory non-compliance with EGLE requirements makes this a high-urgency initiative with real legal and operational consequences. Grant funding aligned with emergency preparedness and infrastructure safety is available, and early engagement with the FY2026 budget cycle strengthens the case for near-term action.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Village has a budget-approved fleet replacement initiative with an identified need for dash cameras and telematics to strengthen incident documentation and reduce municipal liability. Without these tools, gaps in vehicle oversight and accountability create operational and risk management exposure for the public works fleet.
The opportunity
Procurement readiness is confirmed through budget approval, and the Village's informal quote threshold supports faster acquisition for appropriately scoped purchases. Aligning this investment with the current budget cycle and available cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate deployment while stewarding public funds responsibly.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village has unmet WCAG 2.1 compliance requirements across its public-facing digital properties, creating ongoing legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. Without remediation, the entity risks ADA-related complaints, audit findings, and continued exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential services.
The opportunity
Budget goal-setting and proposed spending discussions are underway ahead of the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, creating a timely window to prioritize accessibility remediation. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and may align with cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use.

Discuss this project →IT Endpoint Security and Credential Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved technology refresh initiative has surfaced gaps in endpoint management and credential security within an existing Microsoft 365 environment. Without structured endpoint oversight, public sector networks face elevated risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and service disruption.
The opportunity
Identified grant opportunities align directly with endpoint and security management needs, and the informal quote threshold may allow smaller security investments to move quickly outside formal bid cycles. Acting within the current budget window positions the organization to close security gaps while maximizing available funding.
