Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a documented, village-level Emergency Operations Plan, has no recorded exercises, and relies on county-level alert systems — creating significant regulatory exposure under the Michigan Emergency Management Act. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk during emergencies for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The Michigan Emergency Management Act creates a clear compliance mandate, and grant programs such as HSGP — with upcoming deadlines — offer a direct funding path requiring limited local match. The recently approved FY2026–2027 budget and active Capital Improvements Plan signal strong procurement readiness now.
Fleet Safety and Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village has documented police pursuit incidents involving a damaged cruiser, with no evidence of in-vehicle cameras or telematics systems currently in place. This gap leaves the department without objective incident data, limiting driver accountability, safety oversight, and liability protection.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2027 budget and a $10.5M wastewater loan signal increased public-works fleet activity, creating a timely procurement window. Grant programs such as JAG may offer funding alignment, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined, cost-effective path to implementation.
Securing Cloud Credentials and Access Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates on Microsoft 365 without documented identity or credential security controls, creating latent risk for a small municipal government managing public data in the cloud. Without formal access management practices, the organization faces growing exposure to unauthorized access and potential compliance gaps.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 approved budget opens a near-term procurement window, and cybersecurity-adjacent tooling may be eligible under HSGP or similar preparedness funding. Acting within this cycle reduces operational risk and positions the Village for audit-ready, sustainable credential governance.
ADA Web Accessibility Remediation for Public Digital Services
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing web presence may not meet current ADA digital accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. Existing web infrastructure requires assessment and remediation to satisfy non-discretionary federal compliance requirements.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2026–2027 budget and active Capital Improvements Plan create an immediate procurement window to address accessibility gaps before compliance risk escalates. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan municipalities can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden.
MiDEAL
Discuss this project →Endpoint & Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The Village's expanding capital activity — including a $10.5M wastewater infrastructure loan and FY2027 budget approval — is increasing IT demands across departments, with no documented endpoint management or device patching controls currently in place. This gap elevates operational and cybersecurity risk as the Village's infrastructure footprint grows.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–2027 budget creates an active procurement window, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MiDEAL may reduce acquisition complexity and cost. Addressing endpoint oversight now supports operational continuity and positions the Village to steward expanded infrastructure investments responsibly.
