Fleet Safety & Driver Accountability Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fatality incident involving law enforcement has triggered an active lawsuit and media scrutiny, exposing gaps in fleet visibility and driver accountability. Existing dash-cam coverage may be incomplete, leaving the department without comprehensive data to support risk management or legal defense.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026-27 budget includes targeted increases for police and public works, and state public safety funding offers additional pathways to act now. Addressing fleet safety gaps promptly reduces legal exposure, strengthens public trust, and aligns with cooperative purchasing options that can accelerate procurement.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no clearly defined mass notification system, and recently experienced flooding that exhausted local response capabilities. These gaps create critical preparedness risk and compliance exposure under EOP review cycle mandates, leaving residents and staff vulnerable during future incidents.
The opportunity
A recent disaster incident, active county hazard mitigation plan updates, and an overdue EOP review cycle create strong urgency for near-term action. State public safety funding and homeland security grants offer viable funding paths, and the FY2026–27 budget's public safety increases align this project with current appropriations planning.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A Michigan-specific web accessibility mandate (WCAG/ADA), effective April 24, 2026, creates an immediate compliance deadline for public-facing digital services. Unresolved document and portal accessibility gaps expose the city to legal liability and restrict equitable resident access to government information.
The opportunity
The April 2026 mandate establishes a firm, near-term deadline that aligns with the recently adopted FY2026-27 budget and an active procurement environment. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, improves resident service delivery, and positions the city to leverage available state and cooperative procurement pathways.
Endpoint Lifecycle Modernization and IT Infrastructure Upgrade
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's endpoint infrastructure is aging, with an identified need for hardware replacement and a Windows 11 migration that signals broader lifecycle management gaps. The IT environment has limited managed support, and no formal endpoint management solution is in place, elevating operational continuity and security risk.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026-27 budget includes an active IT procurement window, and state-level public safety funding may offset infrastructure costs. Addressing endpoint modernization now reduces compliance exposure, supports cybersecurity posture, and aligns with current fiscal-year planning cycles.

Cybersecurity · Law Enforcement Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a formal cybersecurity or password security policy, creating a documented compliance gap. This exposure is compounded by a lightly-partnered IT environment, increasing the risk of credential-based threats and unauthorized access to sensitive law enforcement data.
The opportunity
Law enforcement technology grants, including COPS TEP and JAG, may offer eligible funding pathways for security initiatives, and the recently adopted FY2026–27 budget signals an active procurement window. Establishing foundational policy and controls now reduces breach risk, supports compliance, and protects sensitive public safety data.
