Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Brown City faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including an unreviewed EOP, no mass notification system, and fragmented public alerting across county lines — exposing residents and staff to operational and compliance risk under Michigan emergency management guidance.
The opportunity
Two grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines align directly with EOP review and alert/warning modernization, enabling action within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens public safety outcomes for the community.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented web ecosystem—disparate CMS, forms, and payment portal—creating inconsistent digital service delivery and legal exposure under ADA/WCAG 2.1 mandates. A hard compliance deadline of April 2027 requires structured action to ensure equitable, accessible online services for all residents.
The opportunity
With a defined April 2027 compliance deadline and an active city initiative for website modernization already endorsed by leadership, the current budget cycle and cooperative purchasing options create a practical path to act now. Consolidating the fragmented ecosystem reduces legal risk, improves resident access, and aligns spending with an approved strategic priority.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces moderate but growing liability exposure from its fleet operations, with no current telematics or dash camera infrastructure in place. Active fleet expansion—including an electric police vehicle and street sweeper acquisition—amplifies the need for proactive safety and asset management controls.
The opportunity
The newly approved 2026–2027 budget preserves funding for fleet and infrastructure priorities, and cooperative purchasing programs can simplify and accelerate procurement. Acting now aligns deployment with active fleet acquisitions, reducing liability risk and maximizing the value of current capital investments.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · Identity Management
High Priority
About this project
Local government operations currently lack an identified cybersecurity tooling or identity management solution, leaving public systems and sensitive data exposed to unauthorized access and breach risk. This gap is recognized at the state and federal level as a critical capability need for municipalities.
The opportunity
The HSGP grant cycle, with a deadline of July 2026, explicitly identifies cybersecurity as an eligible capability area, offering a time-sensitive funding pathway with no incumbent solution to displace. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to close a critical security gap while maximizing available grant resources.
