Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently relies on fragmented notification channels with no enterprise-grade mass notification system, creating gaps in emergency response coverage. NIMS mandates are active, personnel retention vulnerabilities are straining the emergency management function, and a 2026 audit will formally assess response adequacy.
The opportunity
The 2026 emergency preparedness audit creates a near-term deadline to demonstrate compliant, consolidated alerting capabilities. Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding explicitly covers communications and emergency response equipment, providing an active, eligible funding pathway aligned with the current planning cycle.
Fleet Telematics & EV Fleet Electrification Readiness
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority has documented active safety risks tied to employee conduct during vehicle and equipment operations, with no telematics or dashcam systems currently in place — elevating liability exposure and limiting oversight. A concurrent Climate Action Plan fleet electrification initiative is underway, creating an immediate need for tools capable of managing a growing EV fleet alongside existing assets.
The opportunity
Documented safety gaps and an active electrification initiative create a timely, dual-purpose case for investment — addressing current liability risk while building the operational infrastructure for EV fleet management. Existing GIS platform integrations and cooperative procurement pathways support a streamlined, fiscally responsible approach aligned with the current strategic planning cycle.

Discuss this project →ADA & Digital Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces an October 2024 deadline for ADA Transition Plan approval alongside active WCAG 2.1 A website compliance requirements, with identified gaps in document remediation and public-facing digital materials. Unresolved accessibility deficiencies elevate legal and compliance risk while limiting equitable public access to services and park information.
The opportunity
The firm ADA Transition Plan deadline creates immediate urgency to close document remediation and digital compliance gaps before regulatory exposure increases. Addressing this now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, supports the Park Master Plan's public transparency goals, and may qualify for state accessibility or equity-focused funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Electrical Infrastructure Resilience Replacement
Emergency Management · Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
Lake St. Clair Metropark faces aging primary and secondary electrical infrastructure that poses continuity and resilience risks. A FEMA-funded replacement initiative is underway as part of a broader $15M capital improvement effort, prioritizing operational reliability and emergency preparedness alignment.
The opportunity
With FEMA funding confirmed and capital investment already mobilized, this project is positioned for near-term execution within the current planning cycle. Acting now ensures alignment with resilience mandates, maximizes federal funding utilization, and strengthens continuity of public park operations and emergency response readiness.
Modernizing IT Operations for Lean Public Sector Teams
IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
With $18.7M in annual IT and software spend, this authority faces growing operational risk from personnel retention gaps and succession planning challenges that strain lean IT teams. Without tools to reduce manual burden, service continuity and infrastructure reliability are increasingly vulnerable.
The opportunity
Upcoming audit activity around procurement and operational adequacy, combined with an active capital budget and co-op procurement pathways, creates a timely opening to invest in endpoint and IT management solutions that reduce staffing dependency and align with the current fiscal planning cycle.
