Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Compliance & Legal Risk
High Priority
About this project
The city has formally committed to WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility with a published Accessibility Statement and an April 2027 deadline, but current public-facing web portals have documented remediation gaps. These gaps create legal exposure under federal accessibility law and limit equitable resident access to city services.
The opportunity
The June 2026 Accessibility Statement establishes a clear compliance clock, and the city's completed FY 2025–2026 budget cycle opens a window for targeted technology investment. Acting now allows remediation to be phased and completed ahead of the 2027 deadline, reducing legal risk and improving service equity for all residents.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a designated city-level Emergency Management Coordinator, and independent mass notification capability — relying entirely on county systems. Michigan local EOP requirements create a compliance mandate, and these gaps leave residents and staff exposed during critical incidents.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs — including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG — are identified funding paths that can offset local costs for preparedness initiatives. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens compliance posture, closes critical planning gaps, and builds city-level response capacity before the next emergency event.

Fleet Management · Municipal Liability & Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Public Works fleet currently operates without telematics or dashcam coverage, creating unmonitored liability exposure across city vehicles and equipment. Without documented safety oversight tools, the municipality faces elevated operational and insurance risk with limited ability to respond to incidents or disputes.
The opportunity
Active capital planning for fleet and equipment—alongside FEMA HSGP as a conditional funding path and cooperative purchasing availability—creates a timely window to act within the current budget cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces municipal liability, improves driver accountability, and positions the city to leverage existing procurement vehicles efficiently.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified password and credential management as a cybersecurity need, but lacks specific mandates or documented incidents to drive urgency. With an annual IT and software budget of approximately $20,000, any solution must be targeted, scalable, and cost-effective to be operationally viable.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing programs can reduce procurement complexity and cost, making credential security improvements accessible within tight budget constraints. Addressing this gap proactively reduces organizational risk and supports responsible stewardship of public systems and data ahead of future compliance requirements.
