Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Compliance & Federal Funding
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan and has no city-level mass notification system, creating critical gaps in public safety readiness. Mandatory EOP/NIMS review cycles and federal funding eligibility requirements mean non-compliance directly risks loss of intergovernmental aid.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines as early as July 2026 (HSGP, BRIC, JAG) and an active FY26–27 budget cycle create a clear, time-sensitive window to close preparedness gaps. Acting now protects federal funding eligibility, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community resilience before the next review cycle.
Municipal Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a municipal-owned mass notification system, with emergency alerting available only through a county-level provider — leaving residents and staff without a direct communication channel during incidents. This gap compounds existing emergency preparedness deficiencies and elevates compliance risk tied to EOP and NIMS review mandates.
The opportunity
Active emergency management grant windows — including HSGP and BRIC — provide viable funding paths with upcoming deadlines, reducing local budget burden. Addressing this now aligns with FY planning cycles, supports NIMS compliance, and strengthens direct municipal communication capacity for public safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified ADA/WCAG compliance gaps across its public-facing web presence, creating ongoing legal exposure and barriers to resident access. While no regulatory deadline is currently mandated, unresolved accessibility gaps carry persistent civil rights and service equity risk.
The opportunity
The city's active budget cycle and Master Plan alignment create a timely window to address accessibility gaps before risk escalates. Remediation efforts may be eligible for state or federal funding and directly support equitable public access to city services.
Modernize Fleet Safety and Management Operations
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
Public complaints about snow removal performance and documented DPW vehicle capability gaps point to measurable fleet safety and operational risks. With no visible fleet management technology in place, the city faces a greenfield environment that leaves vehicle maintenance, fire apparatus readiness, and service delivery largely unmonitored.
The opportunity
Grant programs applicable to fleet safety and public works operations have deadlines approaching in July 2026, creating a near-term funding window. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the city to leverage cooperative purchasing agreements and reduce procurement complexity while improving public safety outcomes.
Records Integrity and IT Systems Modernization
Records Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A high-profile investigation involving the former City Clerk has exposed critical gaps in records integrity and IT oversight. Leadership vacancies—including no named IT Director—leave day-to-day systems and records management without clear accountability, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions and unresolved IT vendor questions create an immediate window to establish sound infrastructure and records governance. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to reduce systemic risk, restore public trust, and align with FY planning priorities.
