Strengthen City Emergency Operations Plan Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear EM leadership and staffing, and shows no documented exercises or audits. These gaps, combined with a NIMS compliance mandate, create significant operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions — including a new City Manager and active IT Director recruitment — signal strong timing for new initiatives, and a proposed public safety millage could generate $3.2M annually to fund preparedness priorities. Acting now aligns with the City's stated strategic goal to advance emergency management readiness ahead of the upcoming fiscal and electoral cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The City has publicly committed to WCAG Level AA website accessibility but lacks a remediation plan or supporting technology, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to digital public services. With active leadership transitions underway, the absence of a structured compliance pathway elevates both operational and reputational risk.
The opportunity
Leadership changes and an active IT modernization initiative create a strong near-term window to advance this mandated priority. The City's established IT budget capacity and cooperative procurement vehicles support accessible, compliant procurement aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified IT modernization as a high-priority initiative, with active leadership transition creating a critical window for cybersecurity improvements including endpoint and credential management. With nearly $1M in annual IT spend, the infrastructure exists to support investment, but gaps in security posture elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions in early-to-mid 2026 and a proposed public safety millage create strong timing alignment for cybersecurity action. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG provides a near-term, eligible funding path for public safety technology, supporting investment ahead of the upcoming fiscal and ballot cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's current alert capabilities are not aligned with a formal emergency management framework, creating gaps in coordinated public notification during critical incidents. The absence of a documented EOP and defined EM structure elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A strategic initiative to advance emergency preparedness, combined with a leadership transition, creates strong timing alignment for upgrading notification capabilities now. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and the project may align with public safety funding under consideration for the upcoming ballot cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Readiness
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The City has an existing fleet telematics and dash camera solution in place, with no immediate critical safety gaps identified. However, an active IT modernization initiative under new leadership may prompt a broader technology review that includes fleet systems and their long-term fit.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions and an ongoing IT modernization effort create a natural window to evaluate fleet technology alignment with current operational needs. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG provides a potential funding pathway for public safety equipment, supporting a cost-conscious, mission-driven review.
