Citywide Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has issued an active RFP requiring endpoint protection, patch management, vulnerability scanning, and intrusion detection, with no incumbent in place. These gaps expose municipal systems, resident data, and operational continuity to significant and unmitigated cybersecurity risk.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget confirms funds are allocated, and grant programs with July 2026 deadlines offer supplemental funding pathways. Acting within this procurement window closes critical security gaps and aligns with the RFP's firm deadline.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan and operates split mass-notification systems, creating coordination gaps and EMPG compliance exposure. Recent state-level disaster declarations in Michigan and county EOP coordination mandates heighten the operational and regulatory risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 and a recently adopted FY2026–27 budget create a clear, near-term window to close emergency preparedness gaps. Acting now reduces compliance risk, strengthens disaster response readiness, and positions the city to leverage available state and federal funding with limited local match.
Homeland Security Grant Program
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance Upgrade
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has a documented gap between its current WCAG 2.0 A/AA conformance and its stated strategic goal of WCAG 2.1 AA, leaving public-facing digital portals at risk of ADA-related complaints and exclusion of residents with disabilities. Existing CMS and web infrastructure is in place but requires targeted accessibility-focused remediation to close the compliance gap.
The opportunity
The recent adoption of the FY2026–27 budget provides an immediate funding window to stage remediation by risk severity and advance toward full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. Acting now reduces legal exposure, improves equitable access to city services, and aligns procurement with current budget authority.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Program Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has an established telematics program with documented purchases, but no evidence of dashcam or driver-safety monitoring adoption, leaving a gap in risk mitigation for public fleet operations. Expanding coverage supports liability reduction, operational accountability, and aligns with transportation infrastructure as a stated capital priority.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget provides an active funding window, and the COPS Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) grant represents a potential cost-offset pathway for eligible fleet safety technology. Advancing this initiative now builds on an existing program foundation, reducing implementation risk and strengthening stewardship of public assets.
COPS Technology and Equipment Program
Discuss this project →Strengthen Enterprise Password & Credential Security
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified clear gaps in password and credential management alongside broader endpoint deficiencies, with no incumbent solution in place. This unaddressed vulnerability elevates operational and security risk across city systems and staff access points.
The opportunity
Grant funding through COPS TEP and HSGP—with deadlines in July 2026—explicitly supports this need, and the recently adopted FY2026–27 budget provides a strong procurement timing signal. Bundling this initiative within the active cybersecurity RFP process enables efficient, compliant procurement and reduces exposure now.
