Fleet Vehicle Replacement & Safety Technology Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has approved vehicle replacements across FY 2026–27 and FY 2027–28 under its 2026–32 Capital Improvement Plan, with Public Works operating heavy equipment that currently lacks visible safety technology. This gap elevates liability exposure and operational risk for staff and the public.
The opportunity
With capital funding already committed in the approved CIP and cooperative purchasing pathways available, procurement can move efficiently within near-term fiscal timelines. Acting now aligns with budget cycles, reduces preventable liability, and strengthens public works safety outcomes before fleet deployments begin.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city's current website has documented WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure under ADA mandates and limiting equitable resident access to public services. A Website Redesign is explicitly funded in the approved FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Plan, making remediation both urgent and actionable.
The opportunity
With budget already approved in the 2026-32 CIP, the FY 2026-27 procurement window is defined and time-bound. Acting now ensures accessibility compliance is built into the redesign from the start, reducing legal risk and improving service delivery for all residents.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and has documented water-quality incidents—gaps that elevate risk for residents and staff. Michigan's EOP review mandate creates a compliance deadline that remains unaddressed, compounding operational and regulatory exposure.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, offer viable funding pathways for emergency management initiatives with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens the city's ability to protect public safety.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city's approved 2026–32 Capital Improvement Plan formally designates IT system upgrades for FY 2027–28, reflecting recognized gaps in aging technology infrastructure. Without proactive planning, the city risks operational disruption, data exposure, and delayed compliance with evolving cybersecurity standards.
The opportunity
CIP budget approval creates an early planning window to align solutions before FY 2027–28 appropriations are committed, and the Homeland Security Grant Program offers a potential funding pathway for eligible cybersecurity components. Acting now supports cost-effective procurement, reduces implementation risk, and strengthens the city's long-term resilience.
