Modernize Emergency Preparedness and Mass Notification Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including unreliable mass-notification delivery, unclear EOP currency, and limited multi-channel enrollment—deficiencies exposed by recent severe weather events. Compliance mandates under Michigan Act 390, Publication 201a, and NIMS elevate urgency, while a split notification ecosystem between city and county adds coordination and continuity risk.
The opportunity
The spring budget cycle and fiscal year-end in June create an active procurement window, and FEMA preparedness grant pathways may offset local costs. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with increased public safety budget allocations already in place.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a city-wide dash camera and telematics deployment while facing community complaints about fleet reliability and a transition to a self-insured model targeting $500,000 in premium reductions. These gaps create compounding liability, maintenance, and operational risk that directly affect service delivery and fiscal stewardship.
The opportunity
The Motor Vehicle Fund capital outlay and active road reconstruction initiatives signal funded, near-term fleet operational needs. The spring budget cycle and June 30 fiscal year-end create a procurement window opening in July, making this an ideal moment to address safety, liability, and maintenance gaps before the next budget period closes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified active WCAG/ADA compliance gaps in its public-facing digital properties, with no solution currently in place. Without remediation, the city faces legal exposure, reputational risk, and barriers to equitable public access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Active vendor research signals a near-term procurement decision, and the spring budget cycle with fiscal year-end in June creates a timely window to act. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and aligns with the city's current IT planning and spending capacity.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented centralized password management system, leaving credentials and sensitive accounts vulnerable across departments. An active internal investigation into unauthorized email access and crypto kiosk scam losses confirms real cybersecurity exposure, elevating risk to public data and operational continuity.
The opportunity
New IT leadership onboarded in early 2025 is actively modernizing infrastructure, creating a receptive environment for credential security improvements within an ongoing IT upgrade cycle. With the fiscal year ending June 30, current budget planning presents a timely window to address this gap using existing IT fund capacity.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively refreshing core IT infrastructure—including network switches, endpoints, phone systems, and GIS platforms—amid a leadership transition with a new IT Director onboarded in early 2025. Without a coordinated modernization strategy, fragmented upgrades increase operational risk, security exposure, and long-term maintenance costs.
The opportunity
A spring planning window ahead of the July fiscal year start, combined with a positive increase in the Data Processing fund, creates a well-timed procurement opportunity. Consolidating infrastructure investments now supports operational continuity, reduces risk, and aligns with active budget authority.
