Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A serious police pursuit accident has triggered litigation, and rising insurance costs alongside an underfunded motor pool present compounding safety and financial risk. The city's current GPS tracking solution is insufficient to support active fleet electrification and telematics initiatives, leaving operational and liability gaps unaddressed.
The opportunity
Approved budget allocations for fleet initiatives and alignment with cooperative purchasing channels create a near-term procurement window to act decisively. Upgrading fleet safety and telematics capabilities now reduces liability exposure, supports electrification goals, and positions the city to leverage available public safety grant funding.
Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Remediation
Emergency Management · Compliance & Federal Funding
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is unclear, undated, and contains identified gaps in NIMS compliance and alignment to Michigan Publication 201. Failure to remediate these mandates places federal preparedness funding—including HSGP and EMPG eligibility—at direct risk.
The opportunity
Federal grant cycles for emergency preparedness are active, and NIMS compliance gaps create immediate funding jeopardy if left unaddressed. With new city leadership arriving in late 2025, there is a timely window to advance EOP modernization, strengthen community resilience, and secure available federal dollars.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's emergency notification capability relies on a single legacy platform, creating meaningful risk of incomplete public reach during critical incidents. Combined with an unclear EOP status and NIMS compliance mandates, this gap elevates both operational and federal funding risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant programs align directly with emergency management technology modernization, offering viable funding paths with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces preparedness risk, and strengthens community-wide incident response.
Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's website requires accessibility improvements to meet WCAG and Section 508 compliance mandates, posing legal and equity risks if unaddressed. An active website refresh initiative presents a timely opportunity to integrate remediation before new infrastructure is finalized.
The opportunity
FY25/26 budget allocations explicitly earmark ADA improvements, creating a near-term procurement window with funding already recognized. Bundling accessibility upgrades with the ongoing website refresh maximizes public dollars and reduces long-term remediation costs.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Active IT modernization is underway with computer replacements budgeted in FY25/26, yet gaps in endpoint visibility and identity management create operational and security risk. At $322,050 in annual IT and software spend, ensuring those investments are protected and well-managed is critical to continuity of city services.
The opportunity
Budgeted replacement cycles and a Capital Improvement Program create a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal year. Incoming city leadership in December 2025 may broaden the scope of technology re-evaluation, making now the right time to advance a comprehensive modernization strategy.

Discuss this project →Public Safety Facility Technology Infrastructure Planning
Public Safety · Facilities & Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The city has approved a $22 million police and court facility, creating an immediate need to plan communications, access control, and operational technology systems ahead of occupancy. Decisions made now will shape long-term infrastructure performance, interoperability, and compliance readiness for public safety operations.
The opportunity
Capital projects of this scale require technology planning well in advance of occupancy, and the current early-engagement window aligns with active capital budgeting and cooperative procurement channels. Acting now ensures systems are designed to meet operational, safety, and compliance requirements before construction timelines compress options.
