Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a named Emergency Management Coordinator, and documented exercises — creating critical gaps in NIMS compliance and Michigan's EOP review cycle. These deficiencies risk loss of grant eligibility and leave residents and staff without a validated response framework.
The opportunity
Capital funding of $300,000 is already allocated for public safety, and FEMA preparedness grants represent the most direct funding path available. Acting within the current fiscal window closes compliance gaps, restores grant eligibility, and positions the city for a fully modernized emergency management program.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification capability operates as a standalone system, creating fragmentation across emergency response workflows. Consolidating into a unified platform would improve public reach, incident coordination reliability, and alignment with NIMS compliance requirements.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness and emergency management grants offer a viable funding path for this consolidation effort, with public safety capital already allocated in the current budget. Acting within the current fiscal cycle strengthens compliance posture, reduces operational gaps, and improves resident notification outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
City vehicles currently operate without dash cameras or telematics, leaving no loss-control data or claims evidence to manage liability exposure. With active capital allocations for fleet and public safety, the absence of visibility tools represents a measurable operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
Recent budget approval and dedicated vehicle capital create a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Deploying telematics now reduces liability costs, strengthens driver accountability, and supports cooperative purchasing pathways that minimize procurement burden.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing web presence does not meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure under ADA mandates and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents with disabilities. Without remediation, the municipality faces compliance risk and potential civil liability.
The opportunity
Recent budget approval signals near-term readiness to act, and web accessibility improvements may be eligible for state or federal digital equity funding. Addressing this gap now reduces legal exposure, improves resident service delivery, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Incident Response Policy and Cybersecurity Program Development
Cybersecurity · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
This municipality is in the early stages of formalizing its cybersecurity program, with an identified need to develop an Incident Response Policy. Without documented response procedures, the organization faces elevated operational and liability risk in the event of a breach or system disruption.
The opportunity
With an annual IT budget of approximately $13,000, a phased and right-sized approach can deliver meaningful risk reduction within current fiscal constraints. Formalizing incident response now positions the organization for compliance alignment and may support eligibility for state or federal cybersecurity grant funding.
