Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an undocumented city-level EOP, absent HSEEP-style exercise records, and fragmented mass notification protocols. NIMS compliance and Michigan Publication 201a EOP review mandates are overdue, elevating operational and regulatory risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program deadline in July 2026, alongside EMPG and BRIC funding avenues, creates a near-term window to address these gaps with limited local match. Budget-approved fire station alert initiatives and active capital investment in public safety infrastructure signal leadership readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's 200+ vehicle fleet operates without onboard video or telematics, leaving small incidents untracked and creating significant safety visibility gaps explicitly ranked among the organization's top three operational risks. The budget-approved Motor Equipment Fund (MERF) initiative provides a direct, funded pathway for near-term fleet modernization procurement.
The opportunity
With MERF funding approved and active planning underway, the procurement window for fleet safety improvements is open now. Cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place, reducing administrative burden and accelerating timelines within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's endpoint security environment relies on multiple disparate solutions, creating management complexity and potential coverage gaps across municipal systems. A budget-approved IT modernization initiative provides organizational alignment to address consolidation, reduce risk exposure, and improve operational oversight.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions create a timely opening to reassess IT security strategy, and HSGP grant eligibility may offset consolidation costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with approved budget priorities and strengthens the city's cybersecurity posture ahead of the upcoming grant deadline.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified gaps in WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance across public-facing digital properties, with evolving requirements toward WCAG 2.1 standards. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
With a fiscal year ending June 30 and an active budget cycle underway, there is a near-term window to address compliance gaps and reduce legal risk. Investments in accessible digital infrastructure align with current budget priorities and may be eligible for state or federal funding support.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented, city-controlled mass notification capability, with current protocols fragmented and dependent on county-level systems. This gap represents a critical emergency preparedness risk, particularly given outstanding EOP documentation requirements and NIMS compliance obligations.
The opportunity
The July 2026 HSGP deadline creates near-term urgency to establish independent notification capabilities eligible for federal grant funding. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, strengthens resident safety, and aligns with budget-approved emergency alert infrastructure initiatives.
