Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and verified mass-notification capabilities — gaps that conflict with Michigan EOP requirements and FEMA guidance. These deficiencies elevate operational and regulatory risk, particularly amid ongoing public safety leadership instability.
The opportunity
A $56,000 state appropriation for public safety equipment and active hazard mitigation planning signal near-term budget availability, while HSGP and EMPG grants offer additional funding paths. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with compliance mandates and positions new city leadership to demonstrate accountability to residents.
Public Safety Fleet Telematics & Video Accountability
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The Public Safety fleet lacks telematics and dash cam coverage despite a documented patrol vehicle strike and sustained public complaints about officer driving behavior. This unaddressed gap creates measurable liability, accountability, and operational risk as fleet activity increases alongside major capital construction projects.
The opportunity
A $56,000 state appropriation for public safety equipment and the 2025–2030 Capital Improvement Plan offer near-term budget pathways. COPS TEP and JAG grant programs further support law enforcement technology investments, and an existing cooperative procurement relationship streamlines acquisition for eligible solutions.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties show gaps in WCAG and ADA compliance, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable service access for residents. Ongoing website redesign activity signals the need to embed accessibility standards before new digital infrastructure is finalized.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility now—during active redesign cycles—avoids costly retroactive remediation and reduces compliance and litigation risk. This initiative aligns with public accountability priorities and the current political environment, making it a strong candidate for near-term budget prioritization.
Cybersecurity Modernization for Municipal IT Infrastructure
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city currently relies on third-party IT support with no confirmed cybersecurity modernization program in place, creating visibility gaps around existing security tooling and potential exposure. Without a defined security posture, municipal systems and public data face elevated operational and compliance risk, particularly amid ongoing leadership transitions.
The opportunity
New city leadership creates a timely opening to re-evaluate IT and security infrastructure as part of broader operational modernization, aligning well with upcoming fiscal planning cycles. State and public safety technology funding may extend to security initiatives, offering potential pathways to address gaps with limited local budget impact.
