Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city holds a critically low Emergency Preparedness Score with no publicly available EOP, unverified mass-notification coverage, and no city-specific exercises, while emergency management remains outsourced to the county. Gaps in compliance with the Michigan Emergency Management Act and NIMS mandates elevate operational and liability risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The approved 2026-27 budget opens a purchasing window on July 1, 2026, with a stated public safety focus, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC offer eligible funding pathways. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with active fiscal and grant cycles.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Unverified reports of crashes involving city vehicles, combined with no documented dashcam or telematics deployment, expose the city to reputational harm and liability with no existing safeguards in place. The absence of any incumbent solution leaves a critical operational and risk management gap affecting public trust and municipal accountability.
The opportunity
The city's FY 2026–27 budget has been approved and a purchasing window opens July 1, 2026, creating a near-term procurement opportunity. Established cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline acquisition, and addressing fleet safety now reduces liability exposure while supporting responsible stewardship of public assets.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals lack a documented ADA/WCAG remediation plan, and current accessibility status is unverified — creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. This compliance gap spans website content and PDF documents, with no active remediation effort in place.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–27 budget opens a near-term purchasing window beginning July 1, 2026, creating a timely opportunity to address accessibility gaps before legal or audit risk escalates. Acting within this fiscal cycle supports compliance, broadens equitable access to public services, and aligns with the city's stated strategic initiative.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Cyber Resilience
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity posture and password security status remain unconfirmed, signaling potential unaddressed gaps in endpoint protection. Without verified controls in place, the city faces elevated risk of data breach, service disruption, and compliance exposure across public-facing systems.
The opportunity
The approved 2026-27 budget and a July 1 purchasing window create immediate momentum for cybersecurity investment, with the Homeland Security Grant Program identified as a potential funding pathway. Acting now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and aligns with the city's demonstrated commitment to security infrastructure.

Discuss this project →Library Technology Upgrade and Facility Co-location Modernization
Library Services · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A planned library co-location initiative signals pending technology updates tied to facility changes, with an active budget component earmarked for technology access. Without a structured upgrade plan, the transition risks service gaps for residents who depend on equitable access to library resources and digital tools.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–27 budget activates on July 1, 2026, creating a near-term window to align technology procurement with facility planning. Acting within this cycle ensures funding is applied efficiently, minimizes service disruption, and supports equitable public access outcomes.
