EOP Compliance & Emergency Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces direct compliance mandates under Michigan EOP requirements, with no public evidence of regular HSEEP-style exercises and no designated Emergency Management Coordinator on record. These preparedness gaps—combined with grant administration exposure—represent significant operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Multiple grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP, BRIC, TEP, JAG) align directly with this initiative, and a proposed FY2026-27 Public Safety fund budget exceeding $6.2 million provides dedicated local funding. Recent council approvals for public safety technology create a near-term procurement window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community preparedness.
Modernize Mass Notification and Emergency Dispatch
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The jurisdiction operates a fragmented ecosystem with separate dispatch and resident alert platforms, creating integration gaps that undermine notification reliability and security. A recent high-profile public safety controversy and an active IT vendor transition have elevated the urgency to consolidate and strengthen emergency communications infrastructure.
The opportunity
Multiple grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines—including HSGP and BRIC-aligned programs—support mass notification and emergency preparedness investments with dedicated public safety funding already proposed in the FY2026–27 budget. Acting now addresses compliance gaps, reduces operational risk, and positions the jurisdiction to maximize available funding before the current grant window closes.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Unresolved gaps in public-facing digital portals put the entity at risk of ADA violations, as WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance remains an active but incomplete strategic initiative. Without structured remediation, residents face barriers to equitable access and the entity faces growing legal and regulatory exposure.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates create a non-discretionary driver, and existing infrastructure provides a ready path for remediation within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns with FY planning and available funding mechanisms.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No publicly documented dashcam or telematics solution is in place, leaving fleet operations without baseline incident documentation or driver safety monitoring. This gap creates measurable liability exposure and limits the agency's ability to respond to or reconstruct vehicle incidents.
The opportunity
The FY26 TEP grant identifies telematics as a matching category, offering a viable funding path with limited local dollars required. Acting within the current grant window allows the agency to establish fleet safety controls proactively, ahead of compliance or incident-driven pressure.
FY26 TEP
Discuss this project →Securing IT Controls During Dispatch Technology Transition
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active IT vendor replacement and new dispatch technology adoption have exposed gaps in password management and endpoint security. Low documented IT spend signals underdeveloped cybersecurity controls, elevating operational and compliance risk during a critical infrastructure transition.
The opportunity
Council-approved public safety technology investments and a dedicated public safety fund signal near-term budget availability, and the current vendor transition creates a natural window to embed cybersecurity controls. Aligning this effort with the upcoming fiscal cycle and available grant opportunities reduces risk while protecting public safety operations.
