Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and an independent mass notification system — creating a single-point-of-failure risk. NIMS compliance and EOP maintenance are overdue, and inaction risks loss of federal preparedness funding eligibility amid recent severe weather declarations.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and HSGP grant funding create a direct, time-sensitive window to close critical preparedness gaps. Existing emergency management tech spend signals budget readiness, and increased state public safety funding further supports a fiscally responsible path forward.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently depends on county-level notification systems, creating a single point of failure for alerting staff and residents during emergencies. This gap, combined with the absence of a dedicated notification capability, elevates operational risk and threatens federal preparedness funding eligibility under NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
Michigan's FY 2026–2027 budget cycle includes increased state funding for public safety communications, and HSGP grant funding is a direct match for mass notification initiatives. Acting now aligns procurement with active budget windows, closes a documented compliance gap, and strengthens community-wide emergency response readiness.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks a dashcam or telematics solution, creating liability exposure and limiting driver accountability and coaching capabilities. An active police fleet vehicle equipment changeover is underway, presenting a time-sensitive integration point before procurement windows close.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS Technology & Equipment Program (TEP), with a July 2026 deadline, offers a direct funding path for fleet technology aligned with the current budget cycle. Acting now leverages the active equipment changeover as a natural on-ramp, reducing long-term liability risk and improving public safety outcomes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Without remediation, the city risks civil complaints, exclusion of residents with disabilities, and continued non-compliance with federal accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a near-term window to fund accessibility remediation and reduce legal and compliance risk. Addressing these gaps now supports equitable public service delivery and aligns with non-discretionary federal accessibility requirements.
