Emergency Operations Plan & Public Warning System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, has an overdue Michigan EOP review, and carries a staffing vacancy — compounding compliance and operational risk. Emergency notifications are fragmented across county-managed alerts and city sirens, undermining coordinated public warning capabilities.
The opportunity
The overdue EOP review creates immediate compliance urgency, while the adopted FY2026–27 budget includes public safety allocations and federal grant programs offer viable funding paths. Addressing the EOP gap and consolidating the notification ecosystem now reduces risk and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next budget cycle.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's current web presence relies on an unverified CMS with likely legacy accessibility gaps, and an active Website Design RFP explicitly requires ADA/WCAG conformance. A federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 creates a firm regulatory timeline, elevating risk for residents who depend on equitable digital access to public services.
The opportunity
Active procurement signals immediate readiness to invest, and the 2027 federal deadline makes delay costly. This fiscal cycle is the right window to align a compliant platform with cooperative purchasing options, reducing legal exposure and ensuring equitable public access.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's fleet currently lacks in-vehicle video and telematics capabilities, creating evidentiary gaps and limiting proactive driver safety coaching. A recent leadership transition in the Department of Public Works presents a timely opportunity to reassess and strengthen fleet management practices.
The opportunity
Confirmed CIP funding in the FY2026–27 budget for fleet replacement creates a natural entry point for telematics adoption alongside vehicle procurement. Grant programs supporting public safety and response vehicles may offset costs, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline acquisition.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces cybersecurity compliance requirements without clearly defined controls or a documented response framework, while an existing managed IT relationship provides a foundation to build on. With $66,675 in annual IT and software spend confirmed, baseline budget exists, but gaps in structured cybersecurity governance elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
County-level cybersecurity planning signals a regional alignment opportunity that could expand local capacity and share costs across jurisdictions. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the city to leverage existing IT infrastructure, cooperative procurement agreements, and available technology budget before risk exposure grows.
