Fleet Telematics & Safety Management
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks telematics and dash cam coverage across its fleet, a gap underscored by a recent on-duty fire engine collision. Active capital improvement projects expanding water and street infrastructure are growing the fleet asset base without corresponding safety or oversight tools in place.
The opportunity
A $10M capital improvement bond and a millage increase for street improvements signal strong budget alignment and procurement readiness. Public safety technology funding, including applicable federal grant programs, provides a viable path to address fleet safety gaps with limited general fund impact.
Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, operates aging siren infrastructure, and has unclear emergency management leadership. NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan's local EOP review cycle create active compliance mandates, elevating regulatory and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Identified preparedness gaps and overdue compliance obligations create clear near-term urgency for action. The JAG grant provides a direct, actionable funding path for emergency management solutions, and aligning investment with the current budget cycle supports both fiscal stewardship and improved community safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across its public-facing web properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable digital service delivery for residents. Without remediation, the city risks ADA-related complaints and continued exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential online services.
The opportunity
A website modernization initiative is already identified as a strategic priority, making this an actionable near-term project aligned with current planning cycles. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, improves resident service equity, and may align with available state or federal digital equity funding.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city's growing adoption of SaaS platforms and Microsoft 365, alongside capital projects introducing networked systems like Smart AMI meters, is expanding the IT attack surface. Without structured endpoint management and security tooling, new infrastructure increases operational and cyber risk across city departments.
The opportunity
Active capital bond spending and an ongoing budget cycle create a near-term procurement window for endpoint security investments. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, and eligible public safety technology grants may offset costs for qualifying components.
