Emergency Operations Plan Development & Exercise Management
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and audits, while relying on county-level notification infrastructure without city-level governance. NIMS compliance requirements and Michigan's EOP review cycle create direct regulatory pressure to close these gaps and reduce operational risk.
The opportunity
A state budget increase of $5.0M for Emergency Management, alongside BRIC and HSGP grant pathways, creates a near-term funding window aligned with active Hazard Mitigation Plan efforts. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to capture available public funding.
Mass Notification Governance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently depends on a county-managed notification system without a city-level contract or governance structure, creating accountability and coverage gaps during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a public EOP and overdue NIMS compliance requirements, this exposes residents and staff to significant operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A state budget increase for emergency preparedness and active federal grant programs align directly with this initiative, reducing local funding burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports NIMS compliance, closes the notification governance gap, and strengthens community-level emergency readiness.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fleet currently lacks documented telematics, creating exposure to disputed liability claims and unmonitored driver behavior. Active capital investment in patrol vehicles signals readiness to advance vehicle safety technology across public safety operations.
The opportunity
Capital funding is available for vehicle-related purchases, and the JAG grant program offers a viable path to offset costs. Acting within the current budget cycle strengthens fleet accountability, reduces liability risk, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has publicly committed to website accessibility but has not yet achieved WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to public digital services. Grant compliance mandates intersecting with this gap further elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Addressing WCAG 2.1 compliance now reduces legal liability, supports digital equity for all residents, and aligns with grant requirements tied to the current fiscal cycle. Eligible funding pathways exist to offset remediation costs while advancing broader digital modernization goals.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Department has identified critical gaps in its current Jail Management and Records Management Systems, driving an active search for modern replacements. Outdated infrastructure creates operational risk, data integrity concerns, and potential compliance exposure across corrections and law enforcement records functions.
The opportunity
A vendor evaluation is already underway, placing this project within a near-term procurement window aligned with current IT investment momentum. Cooperative purchasing mechanisms available to Michigan jurisdictions can streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and support responsible stewardship of public safety funds.
