Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating critical compliance and preparedness gaps. Michigan EOP review requirements, NIMS mandates, and recent severe weather declarations elevate operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator and an upcoming budget hearing in May 2026 create an immediate window for action. Homeland Security grant programs directly eligible for this initiative can offset local costs while advancing compliance and community resilience.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current opt-in mass notification system risks leaving unenrolled residents unreachable during emergencies, a gap explicitly identified as a core preparedness deficiency. This limitation undermines Michigan EOP compliance mandates and reduces the reliability of life-safety communications during severe weather and other declared emergencies.
The opportunity
A new Emergency Management Coordinator and an approaching May 2026 budget cycle create a near-term window to act. HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer viable funding paths, and advancing this project now strengthens community-wide emergency reach, supports EOP compliance, and reduces operational risk ahead of the next severe weather season.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity has identified gaps in achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across public-facing digital properties. Unresolved compliance gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to government services and information.
The opportunity
The upcoming budget cycle, with a public hearing in May 2026, creates a near-term funding window to advance remediation efforts. Addressing WCAG conformance now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with current fiscal planning timelines.

Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a complex public safety IT environment with over $1.1M in active technology spend, yet faces documented gaps in endpoint management, emergency preparedness infrastructure, and mass notification reach. Compliance requirements tied to Michigan EOP review mandates and NIMS standards elevate operational and audit risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
An upcoming budget cycle with a public hearing in May 2026, combined with COPS TEP and JAG grant alignment, creates a near-term funding window for endpoint and public safety technology investment. Cooperative purchasing vehicles offer an accessible procurement path, and new leadership presents a timely opportunity to advance modernization priorities.
