Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical preparedness gaps—no publicly posted EOP, absent after-action reviews, and 311 system issues undermining mass notification reliability. Active NIMS compliance mandates and Michigan Publication 201 EOP review requirements elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 create a defined funding window, and FY2027 Fire Department allocations signal near-term procurement readiness. A newly onboarded Emergency Manager accelerates re-evaluation, making this an optimal moment to close compliance gaps and strengthen community-wide response capabilities.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification platform faces reliability issues tied to intermittent 311 system disruptions, creating gaps in public alerting during emergencies. An active procurement entry signals formal evaluation is underway, while NIMS compliance and EOP review mandates add regulatory urgency.
The opportunity
An active procurement listing and HSGP and BRIC grant windows through July 2026 create a near-term funding and decision opportunity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, strengthens emergency preparedness, and ensures reliable public communication when it matters most.
Fleet Telematics & Safety Risk Reduction
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has experienced multiple fleet-involved accidents and a significant rise in city-wide claims liabilities, with no telematics or dash cameras currently in place. This gap presents compounding safety and financial risk heading into an active fleet investment cycle.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes $2M for fire apparatus replacement, creating a near-term procurement window, with HSGP and BRIC grants offering additional funding pathways. Acting now reduces liability exposure, supports fleet electrification goals, and aligns with cooperative procurement options that streamline acquisition.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a hard April 2026 DOJ deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, with no remediation plan currently in place. This gap creates legal and regulatory exposure and risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential digital services.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates an immediate procurement window, and the city's confirmed co-op membership can streamline contracting. Applicable grant funding may offset costs, making this an actionable, fiscally responsible priority within the current planning cycle.
