Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps with EOP and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a documented mass notification system, creating coordination gaps with county emergency management. NIMS compliance mandates and the active Hillsdale County Hazard Mitigation Plan update make closing these preparedness gaps an immediate operational and regulatory priority.
The opportunity
The FY26–27 budget cycle is active and multiple federal grant programs—including HSGP and BRIC—offer direct funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the Hazard Mitigation Plan update timeline and positions the city to meet compliance mandates while protecting residents and staff.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality operates a small fleet with no documented dash-cam or telematics deployment, creating liability exposure and limiting protection of vehicle reserve funds. Budget-approved vehicle replacement and fleet operations initiatives signal an active need to reduce operational risk and improve accountability.
The opportunity
Active FY26-27 budget approvals for patrol vehicle replacement and fleet operations create a near-term procurement window. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant offers a direct funding path, and cooperative purchasing agreements support streamlined acquisition with reduced administrative burden.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An active Website Design RFP explicitly requires ADA/WCAG compliance, yet no remediation plan has been identified — a gap that creates legal exposure and limits equitable resident access to public digital services. This documented need ranks among the top urgency drivers for the organization.
The opportunity
The FY26-27 budget hearing and an open Website Design RFP create a defined decision window to address compliance requirements and reduce legal risk. This project is well-positioned for current-cycle funding and aligns directly with active procurement scope.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Partial cybersecurity policy documentation suggests gaps in endpoint protection and identity/credential management, leaving municipal systems and resident data at operational risk. A modest but active IT budget signals readiness, though current controls may not meet evolving compliance expectations for local government.
The opportunity
The active budget cycle and alignment with justice and public safety grant programs create a near-term window to address endpoint and credential security gaps cost-effectively. Acting now supports compliance posture, reduces breach risk, and positions the municipality for eligible state and federal funding reimbursement.
