City Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Grant lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a designated city-level Emergency Management Coordinator, and city-specific mass-notification governance, relying entirely on county infrastructure. NIMS compliance mandates and an active EOP review cycle—underscored by recent disaster declarations—create measurable operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A firm deadline to adopt the county Hazard Management Plan by July 2026, combined with aligned grant windows and a streamlined state cooperative purchasing vehicle, creates a clear, time-sensitive path to close critical preparedness gaps and strengthen resident safety outcomes this fiscal cycle.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a legally binding Michigan Department of Treasury mandate requiring ADA-compliant web accessibility standards by April 24, 2026. No current accessibility posture or active initiative is documented, creating measurable legal exposure and risk of excluding residents from essential digital services.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline makes this an immediate fiscal and compliance priority. Existing operational spend on online payment services signals an expandable budget line, and Michigan's MiDEAL cooperative purchasing program offers a streamlined, low-friction procurement path aligned with the current planning cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's municipal fleet, including police and public works vehicles, lacks documented dash camera or telematics coverage, creating unmonitored fleet exposure, liability risk, and limited incident response capability. Without visibility into driver behavior and vehicle activity, the city faces operational and accountability gaps that affect both staff safety and public trust.
The opportunity
The summer fiscal and property-tax cycle creates a near-term procurement window, and existing operational budgets may support reallocation toward fleet safety tools. Relevant grant programs with upcoming deadlines offer additional funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing agreements reduce procurement friction for eligible Michigan municipalities.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks documented endpoint management and cybersecurity tooling, creating significant operational and security risk across municipal systems and staff. Without foundational controls in place, the city remains exposed to data breaches, service disruptions, and potential non-compliance with state and federal security requirements.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with deadlines in July 2026—including those aligned with cybersecurity and IT management—offer viable funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the city to close critical security gaps, protect public data, and align procurement through an established state purchasing vehicle.
