Emergency Preparedness & Communications Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness deficiencies, including infrastructure dependency risks exposed by a recent major water main break, unverified mass notification contracts, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises. NIMS implementation and EOP review mandates are unmet, elevating compliance and operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Active procurement in emergency communications, a potential fire/EMS millage, and Homeland Security grant alignment create a near-term funding window. Addressing these gaps now satisfies compliance mandates, strengthens continuity of operations, and responsibly directs an already-allocated $479K public safety technology budget.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's mass notification contract and vendor details are unclear, signaling a potential gap in reliable public alerting during emergencies. A fragmented approach—using separate e-notify tools and a general-purpose CMS—limits reach, consistency, and compliance with NIMS and EOP review requirements.
The opportunity
With $479K allocated to emergency management and public safety technology, near-term investment is actively supported. Homeland Security grant programs provide additional funding pathways, and confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements simplify procurement—enabling faster action within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has active capital fleet acquisitions and unresolved police pursuit compliance issues, with planned in-car camera purchases that lack an integrated telematics or driver monitoring framework. Current public works systems do not address vehicle safety oversight, leaving operational and liability gaps across the fleet.
The opportunity
A $1.6M MDOT TEDF grant and active capital fleet spending create a well-funded, time-aligned window to address compliance and safety gaps. Confirmed cooperative purchasing memberships simplify procurement, enabling faster deployment alongside ongoing vehicle acquisitions.

Discuss this project →IT Hardware Refresh and Endpoint Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An active 2026 IT hardware refresh with recent budget approvals is underway, while the city's MIS environment relies on an MSP managing fragmented security and infrastructure tools. This fragmentation elevates operational and cybersecurity risk, and compliance posture around data security remains undocumented.
The opportunity
Budget approvals are in place and procurement has not yet been formalized, creating an ideal window to align endpoint management strategy before RFPs are issued. This project is eligible for state and federal funding pathways and aligns with current fiscal-year planning cycles.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's IT environment relies on a fragmented set of security tools managed through an MSP, with cybersecurity compliance documentation identified as unavailable — signaling potential unaddressed gaps. A formal recommendation for a city-wide multi-factor authentication rollout is on record, and aging infrastructure renewals indicate the current security posture may not meet evolving mandates.
The opportunity
An active IT hardware refresh with recent budget approvals and an increased MIS department allocation create a well-timed funding pathway for identity and access management improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle consolidates fragmented tools, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens the city's security posture ahead of audit or incident risk.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Civic Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals have known ADA compliance gaps currently under active remediation, with a fragmented environment of separate notification and payment tools complicating standardization. This disjointed structure increases compliance exposure and creates unequal access to services for residents.
The opportunity
With remediation already underway, consolidating fragmented digital infrastructure now can accelerate ADA compliance and reduce ongoing risk within the current fiscal cycle. Streamlining public portals improves equitable service delivery and positions the city for sustainable, standards-aligned digital operations.
