Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality has no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and no documented exercises or reviews — creating critical gaps against NIMS/EOP compliance mandates. Participation in the Oakland County 2023 Hazard Mitigation Plan and construction of a new Public Safety HQ further underscore the urgency of formalizing a comprehensive EM program.
The opportunity
Dedicated public safety budget capacity and eligible Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding provide viable, near-term pathways to address compliance mandates and close preparedness gaps. The new Public Safety HQ serves as a natural implementation milestone, making this the right moment to establish a formalized, resilient emergency management program.
Mass Notification & Alerting System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current alerting infrastructure is fragmented across multiple systems, creating critical gaps in reliably reaching staff and residents during emergencies. Without a unified platform, the municipality faces elevated operational risk and unmet NIMS/EOP compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Consolidating alerting now directly supports active emergency preparedness initiatives and satisfies pressing NIMS/EOP compliance requirements. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by this entity can accelerate procurement, and increased public safety budget allocations signal strong funding alignment for this cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Dash-Cam Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Limited telematics and dash-cam coverage across an aging fleet create significant liability exposure and operational blind spots for public works and public safety operations. Fleet replacement and EV transition planning further elevate the urgency for a modern, integrated fleet visibility solution.
The opportunity
Grant funding explicitly referencing law enforcement telematics and equipment provides clear, near-term funding paths with minimal local match required. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle supports fleet safety compliance, reduces liability risk, and positions the municipality for long-term EV and lead service line fleet management needs.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
An active procurement for Managed IT Services signals an immediate, confirmed operational need, with City Hall network upgrades and GIS-integrated work order system implementation requiring reliable endpoint and infrastructure management. Without a cohesive solution in place, the city risks service continuity gaps and cybersecurity exposure across critical municipal systems.
The opportunity
A procurement decision is already in motion, and the city's established IT and software budget confirms funding capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and infrastructure management now supports strategic upgrades, reduces operational risk, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles that streamline acquisition.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The municipality currently lacks dedicated cybersecurity tooling, leaving credential management and policy enforcement unaddressed despite being a top-identified urgency driver. This gap elevates risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and non-compliance across city systems and staff.
The opportunity
Identified grant funding paths and a significant existing IT budget support near-term investment in cybersecurity controls, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now reduces operational and compliance risk while strengthening the city's overall security posture ahead of planned network and infrastructure upgrades.
911 Telephone System Replacement
Public Safety · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
An active procurement for a 911 telephone system replacement signals a critical technology gap within the public safety function. Aging infrastructure creates operational risk for emergency response continuity, with confirmed budget allocations and a county-mandated call-management requirement driving urgency.
The opportunity
Supplemental public safety funding and a county-mandated platform spend establish a defined and near-term buying window. Addressing this now ensures uninterrupted 911 operations, supports compliance with call-management mandates, and aligns with the current capital budget cycle.
