Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Fenton lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises or After-Action Reviews, creating significant regulatory exposure. Explicit mandates under NIMS, AWIA, and Michigan Publication 201—including a required ERP update by December 2026—elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The 2026 ERP compliance deadline, combined with active funding signals through HSGP, BRIC, and continued state Public Safety Revenue Sharing, creates a near-term, budget-supported window to close preparedness gaps. Acting now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage available state and federal funding.
Mass Notification & Public Alerting Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates two separate mass notification platforms, fragmenting public alerting capabilities and creating gaps in coordinated emergency response. Compliance mandates including NIMS, AWIA, and Michigan Publication 201—with an ERP update required by December 2026—elevate the urgency of closing this operational gap.
The opportunity
The spring budget cycle and available grant funding through HSGP and BRIC present a timely window to consolidate alerting infrastructure and address documented preparedness gaps. Unifying platforms strengthens compliance posture, improves public safety outcomes, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety revenue sharing funds.
Web Accessibility & WCAG AA Compliance Program
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city has publicly committed to achieving WCAG Level AA conformance across its website and digital portals, signaling both a strategic priority and existing accessibility gaps. Non-conformance exposes the city to legal liability and limits equitable resident access to public services.
The opportunity
A confirmed $1.3M capital award tied to ADA-compliant facilities provides a direct funding pathway, and the spring budget cycle creates a near-term window for action. Advancing this initiative now reduces legal risk, fulfills public commitments, and ensures digital services are accessible to all residents.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A documented police pursuit incident and the absence of city-wide telematics have exposed gaps in fleet visibility, driver behavior monitoring, and incident response. Without structured oversight tools, the city faces elevated operational risk and limited ability to enforce safe driving standards across its fleet.
The opportunity
Leadership transition within the police department creates a timely opening to reassess fleet safety systems, and JAG grant funding is available to support eligible public safety technology investments. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle positions the city to reduce liability exposure and improve officer and community safety outcomes.
Endpoint Security & IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified endpoint management and cybersecurity as active needs, with an estimated annual IT and software spend of $133,500 signaling an existing but potentially unoptimized investment. Without structured endpoint oversight, public safety operations face elevated exposure to cyber threats and service disruption.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS TEP grant programs are directly aligned with IT management and security technology categories, offering a near-term funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Recent leadership transitions create a timely opening to reassess current tools and advance modernization priorities within the upcoming budget cycle.
