Modernize Emergency Operations Plan and Public Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Mattawan lacks a village-level Emergency Operations Plan and a modern mass-notification system, creating direct regulatory exposure under Michigan EOP review cycles, NIMS obligations, and AAR tracking requirements. These gaps elevate operational risk to residents and staff during emergencies.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding presents an active opportunity to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required, and a leadership transition creates a favorable window for advancing new initiatives. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates and positions the Village ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks a modern mass-notification system, creating a critical gap in emergency communication for residents and staff. This deficiency compounds existing emergency preparedness risks, including the absence of a formal Emergency Operations Plan and unmet NIMS compliance obligations.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs such as BRIC and JAG offer viable funding paths for emergency preparedness investments, and active budget hearings signal a near-term decision window. Addressing this gap now strengthens compliance posture, reduces operational risk, and improves the Village's ability to protect residents during incidents.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Department of Public Works operates an aging fleet with no telematics or on-vehicle video capabilities, creating gaps in driver safety, asset visibility, and operational accountability. With MDOT grant-funded repaving projects increasing DPW activity, the absence of fleet monitoring tools elevates both operational risk and public liability.
The opportunity
Active capital project funding is driving near-term procurement decisions, making this an optimal window to advance fleet visibility and safety initiatives. Addressing this priority now supports responsible stewardship of public infrastructure funds and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces unmet WCAG/ADA compliance obligations on its public-facing website, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Active digital initiatives—including online agendas, packets, and capital project communications—are amplifying the urgency to close these accessibility gaps.
The opportunity
Active capital projects and expanding digital services are creating a near-term window to address accessibility requirements ahead of compliance risk escalation. This effort aligns with current budget activity and may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles, reducing cost and procurement complexity.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village has identified gaps in endpoint protection and password management, leaving systems and staff credentials vulnerable. Recent IT activity—including a completed cloud migration—signals an active modernization environment where unaddressed cybersecurity gaps carry growing operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding is aligned with cybersecurity initiatives, offering a viable path to address these gaps within the current planning cycle. Acting now leverages an active IT decision-making environment and reduces exposure before new leadership transitions are finalized.
