Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available EOP, has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, and depends on county-managed mass notification — gaps that conflict with Michigan's EOP review and approval mandates. These deficiencies elevate operational and compliance risk for residents, staff, and first responders.
The opportunity
Increased public safety appropriations in the FY 2026-27 budget and grant programs aligned with emergency communications and resilient infrastructure create near-term funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses urgent compliance mandates and strengthens community-wide preparedness outcomes.
City-Owned Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently relies on county-managed mass notification infrastructure, limiting local control over emergency communications to residents and staff. This dependency creates operational risk, restricts timely response coordination, and leaves the city exposed amid documented emergency preparedness gaps and overdue compliance requirements.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding explicitly supports emergency communications and equipment, offering a viable pathway with limited local match. Acting now aligns with increased public safety appropriations in the current budget cycle and directly addresses compliance mandates tied to Michigan EOP review requirements.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates its fleet without telematics or in-cab video, leaving it exposed to rising insurance premiums and vehicle repair costs with no data to manage or dispute claims. The FY 2026-27 Motor Pool Fund reflects increased capital outlays, compounding financial risk without a mitigation strategy in place.
The opportunity
Capital and vehicle purchases are programmed for April–May ahead of a July 1 fiscal year start, creating a defined procurement window to act now. Telematics investment aligns with budgeted fleet and traffic safety initiatives and may be eligible for cooperative purchasing agreements, reducing procurement complexity and cost.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has committed to achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across its website and digital services, with documented gaps in document accessibility on its current platform. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to essential city services.
The opportunity
This initiative is already planned and budgeted, making now the right moment to accelerate procurement and close compliance gaps before the next fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and time to implementation.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active budget for IT maintenance and programming, yet no cybersecurity or endpoint management vendor is on record—leaving a critical gap in its technology posture. The Police Department's increased Computer Services budget further signals unmet IT needs across public safety operations.
The opportunity
With budget already allocated and cooperative purchasing agreements available to streamline procurement, the city is positioned to act within the current fiscal cycle. Closing this gap now reduces operational and security risk while ensuring responsible stewardship of public safety appropriations.
