Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a publicly posted EOP, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and any documented HSEEP-style exercises, with the EOP review cycle overdue as of 2025. NIMS compliance is required to maintain federal funding eligibility, and these unresolved gaps expose the City to significant operational, financial, and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
New City leadership, active participation in the Wayne County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and BRIC grant alignment create a timely window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience. Addressing the EOP now protects federal funding eligibility and positions the City ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's current emergency notification capability has been flagged as a critical gap, with an overdue EOP review, no named Emergency Management Coordinator, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises — elevating compliance and operational risk. Gaps in integrated alerting and warning infrastructure leave residents and staff underserved during emergencies and jeopardize federal funding eligibility tied to NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding explicitly supports resilience-related communications and warning systems, offering a direct and timely funding pathway with limited local match required. With the EOP review overdue and new municipal leadership in place, the current fiscal cycle presents a strong window to close preparedness gaps, restore compliance, and strengthen community-wide emergency response outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City currently lacks in-vehicle recording and telematics across police, DPW, and fire fleets, contributing to a 13.7% increase in budgeted insurance and bond costs. Without visibility into vehicle operations, the City faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to document incidents or enforce safe driving practices.
The opportunity
An active fleet capital program budgeted for FY25–26 creates a near-term procurement window, and JAG grant funding supports fleet technology for law enforcement. Addressing this gap now reduces insurance liability, strengthens operational accountability, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & Digital Portal Redesign
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The municipality has identified accessibility gaps in its public-facing website and a need for a broader digital portal redesign. Without remediation, the entity faces ongoing ADA/Section 508 compliance exposure and risks excluding residents from essential public services online.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces long-term legal and compliance risk and improves equitable service delivery for all residents. This initiative aligns with upcoming IT planning cycles and may be eligible for state digital equity or modernization funding pathways.
