Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and documented after-action reports, creating significant regulatory and operational risk. NIMS compliance is required for grant eligibility, and Michigan's 4-year EOP review cycle suggests an overdue compliance gap affecting the city's preparedness posture.
The opportunity
Emergency preparedness gaps are the highest-urgency need within the next 90 days, with federal grant programs such as BRIC offering viable funding paths for low-match procurement. Addressing these gaps now strengthens compliance standing, protects residents, and positions the city for upcoming grant cycles.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formally documented mass-notification solution and has no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, limiting reliable outreach to residents and staff during emergencies. These gaps create measurable compliance risk tied to NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan's EOP review mandates.
The opportunity
Grant funding aligned with emergency preparedness—including BRIC and related programs—supports mass-notification modernization with limited local match required. Addressing this now closes a documented compliance gap, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
City vehicles currently lack dash-cams and telematics, leaving the Department of Public Works fleet without real-time visibility or data-driven safety oversight. Active infrastructure projects and elevated DPW operational tempo increase exposure to fleet-related incidents, liability, and gaps in accountability.
The opportunity
Increased DPW capital activity creates a practical near-term entry point, and funding sources such as COPS TEP and Byrne JAG offer eligible pathways to offset acquisition costs. Addressing this gap now improves driver safety, reduces municipal liability, and aligns with the current budget and grant cycle.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Centralized Endpoint Management for Municipal IT
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a documented endpoint management solution, creating visibility and security gaps across municipal devices. With active infrastructure investment underway, the absence of centralized device oversight elevates operational and cybersecurity risk for staff and public services.
The opportunity
Aligning endpoint management with the current infrastructure investment cycle positions the city to reduce device-related risk before gaps compound. This initiative is well-suited for the upcoming fiscal planning window and may be eligible for state or cooperative procurement pathways that reduce local cost burden.
MiDEAL
Discuss this project →Credential Security and Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks an identified credential management solution, leaving user accounts and sensitive municipal systems exposed to preventable cybersecurity risk. With no documented IT modernization or cybersecurity plan in place, this gap represents an unmanaged vulnerability across city operations and staff.
The opportunity
Addressing credential security now aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and supports broader IT hygiene before audit or incident exposure occurs. Solutions in this space are broadly eligible for state and federal cybersecurity funding, offering a low-barrier path to closing a critical operational gap.
