Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly documented, current EOP, has missing grant records, and unclear delineation between city and county planning responsibilities. Michigan EOP review and NIMS implementation mandates create direct compliance exposure, elevating preparedness risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants (HSGP/BRIC) offer a direct funding path for this initiative, and a recent Fire Chief transition creates a timely entry point for re-evaluation. Acting within the current grant window reduces compliance risk and strengthens community-wide emergency readiness.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a split mass notification ecosystem with confirmed redundancy between two active platforms, creating inefficiencies and consolidation risk. This fragmentation undermines coordinated emergency communications and complicates compliance with Michigan EOP review and NIMS implementation requirements.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness funding (HSGP/BRIC) provides a viable path to offset consolidation costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and MiDEAL can streamline procurement. Acting within the current budget planning cycle positions the department to reduce operational redundancy, strengthen compliance, and improve public emergency response outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fire Apparatus Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Fire department vehicles currently lack documented telematics or in-vehicle video systems, creating gaps in incident review, driver accountability, and liability claims defense. The inherent risks of emergency vehicle operations expose the department to operational and financial risk without data to support after-action analysis or coaching.
The opportunity
With a new Fire Chief in place and FY2027 budget planning underway, this is a timely window to evaluate fleet safety technology with no incumbent to displace. Cooperative purchasing programs may be available to simplify procurement, and public safety technology investments align with demonstrated local budget priorities.

Discuss this project →Enterprise Credential Security Gap Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No enterprise password or credential management solution is documented for this organization, leaving a significant cybersecurity gap at the enterprise level. Unmanaged credentials increase exposure to unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential non-compliance with public-sector security policies.
The opportunity
With FY2027 budget planning underway, now is the right time to address this unmitigated risk before the next fiscal cycle closes. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and MiDEAL may streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating implementation.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The organization's public-facing web platform carries ongoing WCAG 2.1 A/AA compliance obligations, creating a continuous remediation requirement rather than a one-time fix. Unresolved accessibility gaps expose the entity to legal risk and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning is underway, and the presence of an Emerging Needs Fund offers a viable pathway to fund accessibility remediation efforts. Addressing compliance proactively reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the organization ahead of recurring audit cycles.
