Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan and recent declared emergencies—including a dam failure and flooding—exhausted local response capabilities, exposing critical gaps. NIMS compliance is federally required to maintain eligibility for preparedness funding, making this a direct regulatory and operational priority.
The opportunity
The April 2026 emergency declaration has created immediate political urgency, and the adopted FY2026-27 budget includes increased Public Safety Capital funding. FEMA mitigation and resilience grants are directly aligned to this initiative, offering a strong near-term funding pathway with limited local match requirements.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently relies on a regional tri-county alert system with identified gaps, lacking a dedicated city-level mass notification capability. Recent declared emergencies—including a dam incident and flooding—have exposed critical deficiencies in notification infrastructure, elevating risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026-27 budget and increased Public Safety Capital Fund confirm an active funding window, with FEMA resilience grant alignment providing an additional path to offset local costs. Recent high-profile emergencies have created political urgency and stakeholder support for prioritized investment in city-level notification capability, making this an ideal moment to act.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics and Driver Safety Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented, city-wide fleet telematics and video evidence system, creating a defensive evidence gap and operational blind spots across public-safety vehicle operations. Without structured driver safety monitoring, the city faces elevated liability exposure and insufficient data to support incident response or accountability.
The opportunity
Planned fleet vehicle replacements have received budget approval, and road millage support signals a favorable capital environment for this initiative within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing telematics and driver safety now reduces liability risk, strengthens operational oversight, and may align with cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline procurement.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented technology ecosystem has created gaps in identity management and endpoint visibility across city systems, increasing exposure to unauthorized access and data risk. Without consolidated security controls, IT staff face limited oversight and inconsistent policy enforcement across users and devices.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions, including executive turnover, create a timely opening to reassess and modernize security tooling ahead of the next fiscal cycle. Consolidating identity and endpoint management reduces operational risk, improves audit readiness, and may align with cooperative purchasing vehicles that streamline procurement.
