Emergency Operations Plan and Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan as required by Michigan EMHSD Publication 201, and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. Reliance on county-managed notification systems introduces re-registration gaps that could delay resident alerts during a critical incident.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 explicitly cover eligible emergency management technology, and the FY2026–2027 budget deliberation window closes around June 15, 2026—creating an immediate decision point. A dedicated $101,000 annual budget for public safety tech confirms readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently relies on county-managed systems for public alerting, creating re-registration risks and limiting direct control over emergency notifications. This gap is a documented emergency preparedness deficiency that elevates operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 budget deliberations and FEMA grant deadlines in July 2026 create a narrow, high-value window to fund and procure a city-controlled alerting solution. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates, reduces reliance on external systems, and strengthens public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified active compliance gaps in web and document accessibility, including accessible PDFs and digital content, required to meet ADA and WCAG 2.1 mandates. Unresolved gaps elevate legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to public services and information.
The opportunity
The city's website modernization initiative and upcoming June 2026 budget hearing create a near-term window to fund and advance accessibility compliance. Acting now reduces legal and operational risk while aligning investment with an active strategic initiative and the current fiscal planning cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Sector Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city's Motor Pool Fund is operating at a deficit with no in-cab video or telematics capabilities in place, creating liability exposure and limiting operational visibility across the fleet. A Deficit Elimination Plan beginning in FY2027 establishes a firm fiscal milestone, making cost-saving and efficiency investments an operational and financial priority.
The opportunity
Near-term budget deliberations through June 2026 offer a critical window to influence FY2027 planning and align fleet investments with the Deficit Elimination Plan. Solutions that demonstrate measurable ROI in safety, liability reduction, and operational efficiency are well-positioned for funding consideration in the upcoming fiscal cycle.
IT Modernization and Cybersecurity Posture Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Audit findings have identified significant internal control weaknesses, and the absence of documented endpoint and credential management solutions points to meaningful gaps in IT hygiene and security posture. These vulnerabilities expose the city to operational disruption, data risk, and potential compliance liability.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grants explicitly cover cybersecurity-eligible technology with July 2026 deadlines, offering a funded path forward. The active FY2026–2027 budget deliberation cycle, including a June public hearing, creates a critical window to align modernization investments with available appropriations.
