Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan and relies on ad-hoc communication during severe weather, creating measurable operational and regulatory exposure. Michigan's EOP review cycle and NIMS implementation requirements directly tie compliance status to federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Active pursuit of emergency management grants, including HSGP and BRIC, creates a strong funding window within the next 90 days to close critical preparedness gaps. Advancing this project now protects federal funding eligibility, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.
City-Wide Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a unified mass notification system, relying on a fragmented setup that leaves residents and staff without reliable, coordinated alerting during emergencies. This gap, combined with overdue EOP review requirements and NIMS compliance mandates, elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active grant pursuits—including HSGP and BRIC-aligned funding—create a near-term window to address critical communication gaps with limited local match required. Consolidating emergency alerting now strengthens compliance posture, improves resident safety outcomes, and aligns with the current FY planning and budget cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Asset Visibility Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
Despite existing internal fleet policies, the city lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating unaddressed gaps in fleet safety, accountability, and operational visibility. An active fleet replacement program and a proposed Enterprise Asset Management System have been identified as top strategic priorities, making this a critical window for action.
The opportunity
Ongoing fleet replacement activity and FY capital planning create a timely opportunity to integrate telematics and asset management into procurement decisions already in motion. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, and the initiative aligns with responsible stewardship of public infrastructure investments.
IT Oversight Modernization and Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The city's open IT Director position has created a critical gap in technology oversight, while an annual equipment replacement program and $557,400 in IT and software spend signal a complex environment lacking structured management. Without consistent IT governance, operational continuity and cybersecurity posture are at elevated risk.
The opportunity
Active FY26–27 budget planning and recurring annual IT service renewals create an immediate window to establish structured endpoint management and IT oversight. Eligible cybersecurity and infrastructure funding sources align with this effort, enabling the city to reduce risk and improve service continuity with minimal local match.

Cybersecurity · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a defined credential and password management solution despite an active Microsoft 365 environment and ongoing cybersecurity grant pursuits. An open IT Director position creates a governance gap, increasing exposure to credential-based threats and audit risk.
The opportunity
Active grant applications aligned to cybersecurity and the FY26–27 budget planning cycle offer a funded pathway to close critical security gaps. Acting now positions the city to meet emerging compliance expectations and reduce operational risk before the next fiscal commitment window closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city maintains a website accessibility statement but lacks confirmed WCAG conformance across public-facing digital portals, indicating a moderate compliance gap that limits equitable resident access to government services. An active initiative to improve accessibility is underway, providing a structured foundation for targeted remediation.
The opportunity
Existing platform infrastructure and an active strategic initiative create a timely, cost-efficient path to closing WCAG conformance gaps before compliance exposure escalates. Prioritizing remediation now supports equitable public access, reduces legal risk, and aligns with current FY planning and potential federal funding eligibility.
