Village-Level EOP and Mass Notification System Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a published EOP and a managed mass notification system, currently relying on ad-hoc communications during incidents. NIMS compliance mandates and EOP implementation requirements are unmet, creating measurable operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Identified grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness and early warning, alongside bond financing planned for FY26–27, provide near-term funding pathways. Acting within the current grant window reduces compliance exposure and establishes a resilient, coordinated public alert capability.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance for its public-facing website, with ADA and accessibility requirements flagged as active compliance mandates. Without remediation, the Village faces legal exposure and risks excluding residents from essential digital services and expanding payment portals.
The opportunity
Capital improvement planning and current budget cycles create a timely opening to act before fiscal constraints tighten. Website modernization is an eligible use under identified grant opportunities, reducing local funding burden while advancing equitable, accessible service delivery for all residents.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates higher-liability vehicles, including wheelchair-accessible vans, without documented dashcam or telematics infrastructure. This gap creates measurable operational liability and limits the Village's ability to document incidents, monitor driver behavior, or defend against claims.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined procurement path that reduces administrative burden and compresses timelines. Addressing this liability gap now supports responsible stewardship of public assets and aligns with upcoming FY budget and capital planning cycles.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Schoolcraft has limited documented cybersecurity controls and a constrained annual IT budget of approximately $29,000, leaving endpoints and public data potentially exposed. No formal cybersecurity mandate or gap assessment is currently on record, which delays prioritization despite growing threats to small municipalities.
The opportunity
Eligible grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC include cybersecurity as an allowable use, offering a low local-match funding path aligned with upcoming grant cycles. Initiating a baseline assessment now positions the Village to compete for funding and reduce operational risk before a gap becomes a liability.
