Local Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Build-Out
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village has no locally posted Emergency Operations Plan and depends entirely on county-level mass notification without village-specific detail, leaving residents underserved during localized flooding events. NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan Publication 201 mandate a formal EOP review and local preparedness framework, creating measurable compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A recent leadership transition creates a near-term decision window, and FEMA preparedness grants—including HSGP and BRIC—represent a clear, immediate funding path with strong alignment to this initiative. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the Village for county-level coordination on mass notification.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village's fleet lacks in-vehicle video and telematics, with documented maintenance gaps and a limited driver-safety program. Recent fleet expansion — including a used plow truck and wood chipper — increases operational exposure and the urgency of addressing these safety and accountability gaps.
The opportunity
Fleet telematics initiatives may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles such as Sourcewell and MiDEAL, reducing acquisition complexity amid near-term capital budget constraints. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with active fleet investments and supports safer public works operations and stewardship of municipal assets.

Digital Accessibility · Civic Service Equity
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing website lacks a formal WCAG 2.1 compliance report, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
A recent leadership transition creates a near-term window to elevate digital accessibility as a priority, reducing compliance risk and improving resident service delivery ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village's IT environment relies on local managed service providers, with identified gaps in credential security and endpoint management. Weak cybersecurity controls elevate operational risk and potential compliance exposure for staff, systems, and public-facing services.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and active procurement channels create a near-term window to advance IT security priorities. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce procurement burden, and eligible funding pathways can offset costs within the current or upcoming fiscal cycle.
