Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, and faces uncertain contract continuity for its mass-notification system. Michigan Publication 201 mandates a regular EOP review cycle, and current gaps elevate both compliance and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active adoption of the 2026–27 Operating Budget signals near-term funding availability, while HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer aligned pathways for emergency management investments with limited local match. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next review cycle.
Mass Notification Modernization & Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently operates a fragmented mass notification environment with two parallel systems, creating redundancy, inefficiency, and gaps in emergency preparedness. Combined with no publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and overdue HSEEP-style exercises, this split ecosystem elevates both operational and compliance risk under Michigan Publication 201.
The opportunity
An active modernization initiative and near-term contract renewal window create a timely opening to consolidate platforms, reduce redundancy, and strengthen community alerting. Federal grant programs including HSGP and BRIC offer eligible funding pathways, and confirmed cooperative purchasing access supports accelerated, compliant procurement within the current fiscal planning cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city operates an active fleet, including fire apparatus, with no confirmed telematics or dashcam systems in place, creating measurable liability and worker safety exposure. Ongoing fleet procurement activity and significant insurance and workers' compensation costs signal unaddressed operational risk across municipal transportation operations.
The opportunity
A state appropriation exceeding $1 million for fire apparatus and an active city budget amendment signal available capital for fleet-related investment this fiscal cycle. Federal grant programs aligned to fleet and public safety technology offer additional funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate compliant procurement.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals show unresolved WCAG/ADA accessibility gaps, limiting equitable resident access to government services. Without documented compliance status, the municipality faces elevated legal exposure and risk of excluding residents with disabilities from critical online resources.
The opportunity
ADA and WCAG compliance obligations apply regardless of fiscal cycle, and unresolved gaps increase litigation risk with each passing month. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable service delivery, aligns with active budget planning, and may qualify for state or federal funding assistance.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security and Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity and credential management have been flagged as top urgency drivers, yet no dedicated endpoint protection or password security solution is confirmed in place. This gap elevates risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and potential non-compliance with emerging state and federal security mandates.
The opportunity
With over $546K in annual IT and software spend, budget capacity exists to address this gap within the current fiscal planning cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed, streamlining procurement and accelerating time-to-protection for staff and public systems.
