Emergency Operations Plan Development & Lifecycle Management
Emergency Management · Compliance & Risk Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available municipal-level EOP, relies on county emergency management, and has experienced recent incidents including a boil-water advisory and emergency declarations. Michigan's MSP Publication 201 mandates a 4-year EOP review cycle, and non-compliance risks loss of state disaster assistance eligibility and increased municipal liability.
The opportunity
FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a direct, time-sensitive funding path for emergency management investments. Acting now aligns with the city's top strategic priority, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens cross-jurisdictional coordination before the next budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently depends on a county-administered mass notification system, limiting direct municipal control, cross-jurisdictional coordination, and notification reach during emergencies. The absence of a publicly available city-level EOP and recent emergency declarations—including a critical infrastructure boil-water advisory—underscore compliance gaps tied to Michigan's mandatory 4-year EOP review cycle (MSP Publication 201) and elevate liability exposure.
The opportunity
FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC funding windows in July 2026 offer a direct, eligible path to address emergency preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with compliance mandates, reduces disaster-assistance eligibility risk, and strengthens city-specific response capacity for residents and staff. Michigan's MiDEAL cooperative purchasing program can further streamline and accelerate procurement.

Fleet Management · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
The city faces structural fleet management gaps driven by limited municipal staffing, small agency capacity, and cross-county jurisdiction complexity. While no fleet incidents are currently documented, these conditions reduce operational visibility and create underlying risk for service continuity and public accountability.
The opportunity
Active technology investment and budget-efficiency priorities signal readiness for fleet modernization within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing programs available to Michigan municipalities can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, supporting faster time-to-value.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Gap Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks documented cybersecurity and endpoint management solutions, representing a meaningful gap in its IT security posture. With active IT procurement underway and budget deficits creating pressure for operational efficiency, unaddressed vulnerabilities elevate risk to city systems, staff, and residents.
The opportunity
The city's recent IT contract approval signals procurement readiness, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MiDEAL can streamline acquisition within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and cybersecurity gaps now reduces operational risk and supports cost-effective, compliant technology investment ahead of the next budget period.
