Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a current, publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has identified gaps in NIMS implementation compliance per Michigan Publication 201. Personnel retention challenges are reducing emergency management staffing capacity, compounding operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Active NIMS compliance mandates, a near-term mass-notification contract renewal decision, and dedicated public safety millage funding create a compelling window to act. This project is eligible for Homeland Security and federal preparedness grant programs, aligning well with current fiscal planning cycles.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Belleville's emergency mass-notification contract is approaching renewal, creating an immediate decision point for continuity of public alerting capabilities. Gaps in EOP documentation and NIMS compliance mandates elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Contract renewal timing, active citizen-notification initiatives, and grant-eligible emergency communications programs create a compelling window to modernize now. Aligning this investment with the current fiscal cycle and available homeland security funding strengthens public safety outcomes and supports long-term compliance.
Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limiting equitable access for residents with disabilities. Without remediation, the city risks civil complaints, audit findings, and continued exclusion of vulnerable community members from essential public services.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates around WCAG 2.1 create a clear, budget-cycle-independent driver for action, making this an ideal candidate for near-term procurement. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the city favorably ahead of any formal compliance review or audit.
Cybersecurity Program Foundation and IT Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city carries an estimated $18.75M in annual IT spend across hardware and software with no formal cybersecurity program identified, creating significant exposure. Without structured security controls, public systems and resident data remain vulnerable amid growing threats targeting local government.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) offers a viable funding pathway to offset implementation costs, aligning well with current budget planning cycles. Establishing a formal cybersecurity program now reduces operational risk, supports compliance posture, and strengthens stewardship of public technology investments.
