Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a confirmed, publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct non-compliance with NIMS obligations and putting emergency management grant eligibility at risk. Leadership transition adds operational uncertainty, making timely resolution of this gap critical to continuity and public safety.
The opportunity
The municipal budget cycle — with a public hearing in May and fiscal year closing June 30 — opens a near-term procurement window, while HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer aligned funding paths. Acting now preserves grant eligibility, closes a compliance gap, and positions the city for stronger emergency preparedness outcomes.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification tool may lack the advanced capabilities and integration needed to meet EOP/NIMS compliance obligations, putting grant eligibility and emergency response continuity at risk. Gaps in documented emergency operations planning elevate operational and regulatory exposure for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The active municipal budget cycle and cooperative purchasing availability create a timely, streamlined path to procurement. Eligible state and federal grant programs align directly with emergency communications improvements, reducing local cost burden while advancing compliance and public safety outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Program
Fleet Safety · Liability & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a formal telematics or dashcam program, with undocumented vehicle maintenance records and identified driver training gaps. These deficiencies increase municipal liability exposure and insurance risk, creating a proactive but pressing operational safety concern.
The opportunity
The JAG program offers a relevant funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan municipalities can simplify and accelerate procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to reduce liability risk and strengthen fleet accountability before fiscal year close.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented WCAG/ADA compliance across its public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. Without a remediation plan, the city remains vulnerable to complaints, litigation, and inequitable access to public services.
The opportunity
The active municipal budget cycle — with a fiscal year ending June 30 — presents a near-term window to fund and initiate a staged compliance remediation effort. Addressing this gap now reduces legal risk, improves equitable service delivery, and may align with state or federal digital equity funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a potential need to modernize document and forms management processes, though specific pain points and interest levels remain undocumented. Without a defined gap or compliance driver, operational inefficiencies may persist and limit service delivery to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active budget planning activity, including a published fee schedule and upcoming budget presentation, signals a near-term window for technology investment aligned with the fiscal cycle. Modernizing document workflows can improve operational efficiency and may be eligible for state or cooperative procurement pathways that reduce local cost burden.
