Emergency Preparedness & Facility Resilience Modernization
Emergency Management · Facility Resilience
High Priority
About this project
Recent severe flooding and winter storms exposed critical infrastructure gaps, including sewer system failures and emergency shelter shortfalls, underscoring the urgency of formalizing emergency management capabilities. A funded facility resilience initiative is underway, but broader operational vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, elevating risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program provides a direct, time-sensitive funding path with a July 2026 deadline, and the state FY2026-27 budget includes a $3.4M increase for emergency management. Acting now aligns with active funding cycles, advances compliance, and strengthens community resilience before the next severe weather season.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority is acquiring 14 new vehicles as part of a broader fleet and facility modernization effort, with existing GPS and camera systems in place. High annual mileage across a rural service area creates moderate but pressing needs for integrated telematics to support risk reduction, insurance liability documentation, and operational oversight.
The opportunity
New vehicle acquisitions create a natural, cost-effective entry point for modernizing fleet technology with minimal disruption. State FY2026–27 omnibus funding includes $108M for public transportation, signaling strong budget alignment. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available, simplifying procurement and accelerating deployment within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A compliance-driven need for privileged access and credential management has been identified, with current IT services leaving gaps in overall cybersecurity posture. A recent regional ransomware incident underscores the operational and reputational risk of unaddressed credential vulnerabilities for public entities.
The opportunity
An upcoming managed service contract renewal creates a natural window to close credential management gaps and align with cybersecurity compliance requirements. This project is well-suited for the current budget cycle and may be eligible for cooperative purchasing vehicles, reducing procurement friction and time to implementation.

IT Modernization · Procurement & Budget Planning
High Priority
About this project
The City of Cadillac's newly approved Capital Improvement Program, updated purchasing ordinance, and FY2027 budget finalization are driving near-term technology procurement decisions. With a $675K CDBG grant and a $27M operating budget, the funding environment is strong, but low formal bid thresholds mean most technology investments will require structured procurement processes.
The opportunity
Budget finalization and CIP approval create a finite window to advance technology investments before the fiscal cycle closes. Available grant funding and alignment with cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-award for priority modernization initiatives.
