Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Gladwin lacks a city-specific Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented exercises or After Action Reviews, and depends on county-managed mass notification with potential enrollment gaps. These deficiencies create significant NIMS non-compliance risk, including potential loss of federal funding.
The opportunity
Active hazard mitigation planning and available federal grant programs—including HSGP and BRIC—provide direct funding paths to address these gaps now. Advancing this project strengthens community resilience, closes compliance exposure, and aligns with current grant cycles before funding windows close.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Mass notification is currently managed at the county level, limiting the city's direct control over resident and staff alerting during incidents. This dependency introduces enrollment friction and operational gaps that elevate risk during time-sensitive emergencies.
The opportunity
HSGP funding explicitly supports emergency communications and alert system investments, providing a clear procurement path. Establishing city-level notification ownership strengthens NIMS compliance, reduces federal funding risk, and improves response outcomes for residents and staff.
Council Chambers Audiovisual & Livestream Controls Modernization
IT Modernization · Public Communications
High Priority
About this project
An unintended transmission incident prompted the suspension of Council Chambers livestream operations, triggering an immediate review of audiovisual technology and content controls. The gap exposes the city to reputational, operational, and public-trust risk in its digital civic communications.
The opportunity
Leadership has identified this as a top strategic IT priority as of May 2026, creating an active and open window for corrective action. Addressing controls now reduces ongoing operational risk, supports transparent public governance, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Website Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals have documented gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities. Unresolved compliance gaps risk civil complaints and erode public trust in digital service delivery.
The opportunity
Phasing remediation by risk severity allows the city to address mandated accessibility requirements within current budget constraints and upcoming fiscal planning cycles. Acting now reduces legal liability, supports equitable resident access, and positions the city for state or federal funding that rewards proactive digital inclusion efforts.
Municipal Fleet Telematics & Transit Safety Modernization
Fleet & Transit Safety · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A documented OSHA inspection with resulting penalties has exposed regulatory risk in municipal transit operations, while the absence of in-vehicle video and telematics leaves the city without critical liability documentation. These gaps create compounding operational, legal, and public safety risk for staff and residents.
The opportunity
BRIC grant eligibility for smart city and vehicle resilience projects, alongside regional Safe Streets and Roads investment activity, signals available funding pathways aligned to this need. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces penalty exposure, strengthens compliance posture, and improves fleet accountability with limited local match required.
