Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unknown EOP status, recent flood vulnerabilities, and no dedicated emergency management leadership. Compliance mandates under Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS remain unmet, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A Michigan grant targeting emergency responders signals an active funding window, and a new Village Manager creates openings for priority initiatives. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with fiscal planning, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community resilience.
Modernize Mass Notification for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village's current mass notification system operates amid significant emergency preparedness gaps, including uncertain EOP status, flood vulnerability, and limited EM leadership. Compliance mandates under Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS elevate the urgency of ensuring reliable, modern public alerting capabilities.
The opportunity
Active federal grant windows, including HSGP and BRIC, offer viable funding pathways for notification and preparedness upgrades with limited local match. A recent leadership transition creates a timely opening to re-evaluate systems, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing web portal currently meets WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards, falling short of the required WCAG 2.1 threshold and creating measurable legal and compliance exposure. This gap limits equitable digital access for residents and places the municipality at risk of ADA-related complaints or enforcement action.
The opportunity
A new Village Manager onboarded in mid-2025, creating a timely window to advance compliance-driven modernization ahead of the next fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating resolution of the accessibility gap.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks documented telematics or dash-cam deployment, creating operational ambiguity—particularly given contracted policing arrangements. An active capital vehicle replacement program heightens the urgency to establish fleet visibility, accountability, and safety standards now.
The opportunity
Integrating telematics during an active vehicle replacement cycle avoids costly retrofits and maximizes public investment. Grant funding through public safety programs may offset acquisition costs, and cooperative purchasing pathways can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
