Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active compliance mandates under WCAG 2.1 A/AA and Section 508, with ongoing ADA facility and website improvement initiatives underway. Unresolved accessibility gaps in public-facing digital services create legal exposure and limit equitable access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Budget planning cycles in late summer and fall, with a public hearing in October, create a near-term procurement window aligned with 2026–2027 strategic ADA initiatives. Acting now supports compliance, reduces legal risk, and positions the city to leverage available infrastructure and accessibility funding pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a current, publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and after-action reports, while recent flooding events have exposed critical infrastructure vulnerabilities. Michigan EOP review mandates and emergency management compliance requirements make inaction an escalating operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026—including Homeland Security and resilience-focused programs—create a near-term funding window aligned with the city's 2026–2027 capital planning cycle. Acting now closes documented compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage available public safety funding before the window closes.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent police cruiser accident has exposed a critical gap in the city's fleet safety infrastructure, with no telematics or dash camera systems in place to support incident review or fault determination. Planned patrol vehicle replacements in 2026–2027 make integrated safety monitoring an immediate operational and procurement priority.
The opportunity
Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines—including justice assistance funding aligned to public safety technology—offer viable pathways to offset costs, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to accelerate procurement. Acting now ties fleet safety improvements to the capital replacement cycle, reducing liability exposure and strengthening officer accountability.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks both a centralized credential management solution and an endpoint management platform, leaving its IT environment exposed to credential-based attacks and unmanaged device risk. These foundational gaps represent significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities across city operations and staff systems.
The opportunity
Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines align directly with endpoint and credential security initiatives, offering a funded path forward within the current planning cycle. Addressing these greenfield gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the city for stronger cybersecurity posture ahead of the next fiscal year.
