Pre-RFPLegal & ComplianceDetected Jun 10, 2026

Montcalm Township adopted Ordinance 26-03 on June 10, 2026, formally creating the office of the Ordinance Enforcement Officer and authorizing that officer to implement, administer, and enforce all township ordinances. The ordinance also allows the Township Board to appoint deputy enforcement officers and to designate additional individuals or entities as authorized local officials to issue civil infraction citations and otherwise administer ordinances.This structural change signals that the township may need tools, services, and training to support ordinance enforcement, such as code enforcement case management software, citation processing systems, legal support, and compliance consulting. A useful conversation would explore how they plan to operationalize this new office, including workflows, digital records, mobile inspection tools, and coordination with the Michigan State Police and the Montcalm County Sheriff’s Office already designated as authorized local officials.

Ordinance 26-03 replaces and repeals the earlier Ordinance 26-01 adopted in February 2026, suggesting the enforcement structure is being refined.
