Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City of Burton lacks a publicly referenced Emergency Operations Plan, creating non-compliance risk under Michigan Publication 201 and exposing coordination gaps with county-level emergency response. Without city-specific SOPs, grant eligibility for key emergency management programs is also at risk.
The opportunity
The City's approved 2026–2027 budget and a newly enacted Fire Life Safety Code signal active emergency management investment, while BRIC and HSGP grant windows offer supplemental funding with limited local match. Addressing this now closes a critical compliance gap and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.
Fleet Telematics and In-Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has experienced documented police-vehicle-related misconduct resulting in a $400,000 civil settlement, exposing a critical gap in in-vehicle evidence capture and fleet accountability. An aging GPS fleet contract from 2020–2021 appears expired, leaving the City without modern telematics safeguards to reduce disputed claims and operational liability.
The opportunity
With a high Safety Urgency Score and an expired fleet GPS contract signaling near-term procurement timing, the City is positioned to act within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed available, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating deployment of compliant, accountable fleet technology.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City currently lacks an enterprise credential management solution, creating a direct and measurable gap in its cybersecurity posture. Upcoming renewals for existing security software present a timely window to address this gap and reduce exposure to credential-based threats.
The opportunity
Active budget cycles and alignment with grant programs supporting public-sector cybersecurity initiatives make this an actionable near-term priority. Consolidating credential and security management now reduces operational risk and supports responsible stewardship of public IT resources.

Digital Accessibility · Resident Services
High Priority
About this project
The City has active website accessibility obligations under WCAG 2.1 standards, creating ongoing legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access to public services. With an existing CMS platform in use, gaps in accessibility tooling represent both a compliance risk and a service delivery shortfall.
The opportunity
Web accessibility is a standing legal requirement with no grace period, and the City's active 2026–2027 budget cycle and cooperative purchasing memberships provide accessible procurement pathways. Addressing compliance now reduces litigation risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Modernizing Municipal IT Management and Endpoint Oversight
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City's estimated $55,000 annual IT and software spend reflects active but uncoordinated technology investment, with no dedicated endpoint management platform identified. Upcoming software renewals and gaps in centralized IT visibility create operational risk and potential exposure to cybersecurity threats across municipal systems.
The opportunity
Incumbent software renewals signal a near-term procurement window aligned with the current budget cycle, and grant programs such as JAG and TEP offer eligible funding pathways for IT management initiatives. Acting now enables the City to consolidate oversight, reduce risk, and maximize available funding before the fiscal window closes.
