Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan and operates broken legacy siren systems, while relying on county-level alert infrastructure—creating critical dependency and preparedness gaps. A state-declared flooding emergency in April 2026 has elevated urgency, and NIMS compliance is required for funding eligibility.
The opportunity
The FY26 Homeland Security Grant Program directly funds emergency management and mass notification initiatives, aligning with the city's active FY 2026-27 budget cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational and compliance risk while establishing a consolidated, city-controlled emergency communications capability.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a documented telematics or dashcam program, creating moderate safety and liability exposure across its municipal fleet. With vehicle replacements already flagged in the FY2026/2027 Capital Improvement Plan, fleet investment is an active priority without a defined technology solution in place.
The opportunity
The open FY2026/2027 CIP cycle creates a near-term procurement window for fleet-related investments, and Michigan's FY27 state budget introduces grant and capital programs that may offset local costs. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to improve driver safety, reduce liability exposure, and maximize available funding before the window closes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website and digital forms may not fully meet WCAG/ADA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. A confirmed assessor accessibility obligation under PA 660 of 2018 signals existing compliance awareness, but gaps across broader digital portals remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The current budget cycle presents a viable funding window to close accessibility gaps before they escalate into legal or audit findings. Proactive remediation supports equitable public access, reduces compliance risk, and may align with state or federal digital equity funding opportunities.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & IT Systems Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
No confirmed endpoint management solution exists at the city level, creating visibility gaps across devices and IT infrastructure. A regional cybersecurity incident highlights the operational and security risk posed by unmanaged endpoints, leaving city systems and public data potentially exposed.
The opportunity
The city's recently adopted FY 2026–27 budget and available federal funding paths—including JAG and COPS TEP grants—create a timely window to address this gap. Acting now reduces exposure to cyber incidents, supports IT continuity, and aligns investment with the current budget and grant cycle.

Discuss this project →Strengthen City-Level Credential Security Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No city-level password or credential management program has been identified, leaving a critical cybersecurity gap. A recent regional cyber incident underscores the elevated risk for local governments operating without formal credential hygiene controls.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs, including the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG and COPS TEP, offer eligible funding pathways for local government cybersecurity improvements. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to close a documented security gap while leveraging available grant resources.
