Emergency Operations Plan & Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan, has no verified contract or SLA for its mass notification system, and shows limited evidence of required HSEEP-style exercises. Michigan Emergency Management Act (P.A. 201) and NIMS alignment mandates, compounded by recent severe storms and infrastructure failures, elevate both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A dedicated $316,727 Emergency Services appropriation signals near-term funding availability, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and COPS TEP offer additional pathways with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes critical preparedness gaps and brings the city into compliance with state and federal mandates.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity operates 9 ambulances and is pursuing a police patrol vehicle replacement initiative without a comprehensive telematics or driver monitoring program in place. Existing in-car cameras remain siloed, limiting evidence capture, operational oversight, and fleet-wide safety accountability.
The opportunity
The active vehicle replacement initiative creates a timely entry point to deploy integrated telematics across public safety and EMS fleets. Grant programs aligned with fleet safety and law enforcement technology—combined with cooperative purchasing pathways—can reduce procurement complexity and local cost burden within the current fiscal cycle.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The organization has identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance as a mandate but lacks any current plan or technology to achieve it. This gap creates legal exposure under federal accessibility law and limits equitable public access to essential digital services.
The opportunity
With no existing solution in place, this is a greenfield initiative aligned to a clear compliance mandate and eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles that reduce acquisition burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle mitigates legal risk and expands equitable service delivery to all residents.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city operates in a largely greenfield IT and cybersecurity environment with few established technology relationships and no identified local cybersecurity mandate or plan. State and federal partners cite cybersecurity as a baseline requirement, and the absence of a defined posture elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
County-level modernization activity funded through available grant programs may create downstream alignment at the city level, and an incoming City Manager in early 2026 presents a natural window for re-evaluating systems. Funding sources such as Edward Byrne JAG and HSGP are identified as eligible pathways, making this an opportune moment to act ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
