Emergency Mass Notification & Coordination Platform
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently depends on county opt-in notifications and a general-purpose email tool for emergency communications, leaving critical gaps in village-level coordination and documented preparedness exercises. A tornado event in April 2026 has exposed these deficiencies, elevating operational and public safety risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active EOP support initiatives and hazard mitigation participation create immediate urgency, and federal preparedness funding such as BRIC may offer a viable pathway with limited local match required. Addressing this now aligns with the current budget cycle and strengthens community resilience before the next severe weather season.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently operates its fleet without dash cameras or telematics, creating measurable liability exposure and gaps in driver accountability. Active fleet changes—including a broken vac truck requiring replacement and a surplus dump truck—signal an immediate window to integrate safety and monitoring technology.
The opportunity
Approved FY 2026–2027 budget cycles and identified grant programs, including the COPS Technology and Equipment Program and Edward Byrne Memorial JAG, offer funding pathways with reduced local match requirements. Acting now aligns procurement with active budget windows and cooperative purchasing programs, lowering barriers while reducing fleet liability risk.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The municipality's website has been identified as non-compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to public services. The current platform lacks enterprise-grade support, leaving the organization without a clear remediation path or ongoing compliance framework.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 budget opens a near-term procurement window, and cooperative purchasing programs can reduce procurement timelines and administrative burden. Acting now mitigates legal risk, advances digital equity, and positions the municipality ahead of increasing accessibility enforcement activity.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Michigan MCL 445.72 mandates security breach notification, and the 2025–2026 audit cycle requires demonstrable data handling controls. With no documented enterprise IT infrastructure, password management and endpoint security for village systems and custom domain email remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The 2025–2026 audit accountability deadline creates a defined near-term action window, and FY 2026 COPS TEP and Edward Byrne Memorial JAG funding are eligible matches for cybersecurity initiatives. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline and accelerate compliant procurement.
