Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Program
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bay City operates a municipal fleet of over 200 vehicles with no telematics program and no city-wide dash camera solution in place. This gap limits driver behavior oversight, complicates incident investigations, and exposes the city to operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
Budget planning aligns with current spring/early summer timing, and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) has been identified as a matching funding opportunity. Cooperative purchasing participation provides a streamlined procurement path, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Bay City lacks a publicly available city-level Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented EOP review date, resulting in NIMS non-compliance and federal grant ineligibility risk. Recent severe weather and flooding declarations expose residents and staff to unmitigated operational risk during declared emergencies.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance is a prerequisite for federal emergency management grant eligibility, including active funding opportunities aligned to preparedness initiatives. Addressing EOP gaps now positions the city to compete for grant funding, reduce compliance exposure, and strengthen emergency response outcomes ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.
Web Accessibility Compliance Upgrade to WCAG 2.1 AA
Digital Accessibility · Civic Service Delivery
High Priority
About this project
The city has publicly committed to WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance, but current standards have advanced to WCAG 2.1 AA, creating a defined remediation gap across public-facing digital portals. Without action, the city faces accessibility compliance risk and potential barriers to equitable service delivery for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Budget planning cycles in spring and early summer align with current timing, creating a near-term window to scope and fund remediation. Addressing this gap now reduces compliance exposure, advances digital equity, and supports stewardship of public-facing services ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture and Endpoint Governance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented cybersecurity mandates or endpoint management standards, signaling potential compliance and governance gaps. Existing endpoint security and network management tools may not meet current requirements, elevating operational and data protection risk across city systems.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including JAG, BRIC, and HSGP offer funding pathways aligned to cybersecurity initiatives, with deadlines approaching in the current planning cycle. Addressing endpoint governance now reduces audit exposure, supports continuity of public services, and positions the city to leverage available funding before the fiscal window closes.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently depends on a county-administered mass notification system without direct ownership or clear contract authority, limiting its ability to activate alerts independently during local emergencies. Combined with documented emergency preparedness gaps and recent severe weather declarations, this dependency elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including BRIC and HSGP offer viable funding paths for notification infrastructure modernization, and regional momentum around IPAWS implementation signals a timely window for city-level action. Addressing this now strengthens autonomous alert capability, supports NIMS compliance, and reduces reliance on external systems during critical incidents.
