Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and operates a fragmented mass-notification environment split between a county-managed system and a separate city SMS opt-in. Critical infrastructure failures and unmet NIMS compliance mandates compound preparedness risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC program offer viable funding paths, and a recent leadership transition creates a favorable window for procurement action. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has documented MIOSHA citations for fire/EMS equipment and training failures, a recorded severe firefighter injury, and a recognized absence of dashcam and telematics capabilities across its fleet. These gaps create measurable operational, safety, and compliance risk for public works and emergency response personnel.
The opportunity
A $221,018 public-works equipment grant provides a direct, identified funding source for fleet-related investments, and the COPS TEP grant represents an additional potential match. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the city to address documented safety deficiencies, reduce liability exposure, and align procurement with available cooperative purchasing vehicles for a streamlined path to implementation.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Digital Accessibility Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city is subject to ADA Title II mandates requiring WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across digital properties and public-facing documents, yet no documented compliance level exists. This gap exposes the municipality to legal liability and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Unresolved WCAG conformance gaps create ongoing legal and reputational risk that compounds over time, making near-term remediation a fiscally responsible priority. Addressing accessibility now aligns with the current budget cycle and supports equitable service delivery without requiring significant new infrastructure investment.
Strengthen Municipal Cybersecurity Posture and IT Oversight
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks identified cybersecurity controls or a formal IT services framework, and a recent forensic audit signals potential gaps in financial oversight and data integrity. Without defined security standards, the municipality faces elevated risk of data exposure, compliance gaps, and operational disruption.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) offers a potential funding pathway for cybersecurity tooling, and the new City Manager's operational review creates a timely opening to elevate IT security as a priority. Acting within the current budget and leadership transition window positions the city to reduce risk and strengthen public trust.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security and Access Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a confirmed credential management solution, creating measurable gaps in access control and security posture. MIOSHA-documented operational failures and an active cybersecurity compliance environment elevate the risk of unauthorized access and potential service disruption.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program presents a potential funding path for eligible cybersecurity improvements, reducing reliance on constrained discretionary IT budgets. Addressing access control gaps now supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and aligns with the current budget and leadership transition cycle.
