Modernize Emergency & Hazard Mitigation Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Hazard Mitigation Plan has been expired since 2012, and recent incidents including hazardous air quality events and a measles outbreak expose active preparedness gaps. Non-compliance with NIMS requirements directly threatens eligibility for federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant programs provide a well-funded path forward, and a proposed Public Safety millage adds local capacity. Acting now protects federal funding eligibility, closes a critical compliance gap, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation Across Jurisdictions
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township and county currently operate separate mass notification platforms, creating a fragmented communications ecosystem that undermines coordinated incident response. This split infrastructure increases operational risk and inefficiency during emergencies where unified, cross-jurisdictional alerting is critical.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants—including HSGP and BRIC—provide a viable funding path for this consolidation, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement. With a Hazard Mitigation Plan long overdue and NIMS compliance tied directly to federal funding eligibility, acting within the current grant cycle protects both public safety outcomes and long-term budget stability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Unmet WCAG 2.1 AA standards create legal exposure and restrict equitable public access to essential digital services. Recent procurement activity for IT and web consulting confirms awareness of the gap, but remediation remains incomplete ahead of a noted compliance deadline.
The opportunity
The upcoming 2026 HUD Annual Action Plan submission creates a near-term window to align accessibility remediation with federal funding decisions. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement, reduce administrative burden, and support responsible stewardship of public resources.

Discuss this project →IT and Cybersecurity Modernization for Public Safety
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City has budget-approved initiatives for IT and cybersecurity modernization, with FY2027 allocations signaling broad technology investment across public safety. Existing tools reflect a maturing but evolving security posture with integration gaps that elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
With nearly $11M in annual IT and software spend and an active FY2027 budget cycle, the funding capacity and planning window are aligned. FEMA grants eligible for cybersecurity initiatives offer additional pathways to advance modernization with reduced local fiscal burden.
FEMA HSGP
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Program
Fleet Safety · Public Accountability
High Priority
About this project
No telematics or dash-cam program is currently in place, creating a safety and accountability gap across the fleet. Recent media scrutiny over a vehicle incident has elevated public accountability concerns, while an active fleet replacement initiative provides a natural integration point.
The opportunity
The current fleet replacement cycle offers a timely, cost-efficient window to embed telematics into new vehicle procurement, potentially eligible for federal safety-related funding. Acting within this cycle avoids retrofit costs, aligns with budget-approved initiatives, and strengthens public trust through transparent fleet oversight.

Discuss this project →Human Services Program Expansion & Administration
Human Services · Federal Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A newly appointed Human Services Administrator signals shifting departmental priorities at a critical moment, as the 2026 HUD Annual Action Plan submission approaches. Decisions made now will shape federal fund allocation and program delivery outcomes for vulnerable residents.
The opportunity
The HUD Annual Action Plan cycle creates a defined, time-sensitive window for aligning service delivery solutions with incoming federal funding. Acting ahead of the submission deadline ensures programs are positioned to maximize community impact and steward public resources effectively.
