Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, has no dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, and shows no evidence of recent preparedness exercises — all required under Michigan's EOP review cycle. Mass notification is split across city and county platforms, creating a consolidation gap that elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget process, with a public hearing on May 26, 2026, creates a near-term decision window aligned with available federal and state emergency preparedness funding. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage grants such as EMPG and HSGP.
Cybersecurity & Credential Protection Compliance
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
CJIS and LEIN compliance mandates require multi-factor authentication and credential protection, creating non-negotiable security obligations for the department. No documented cybersecurity tooling is currently in place, leaving the organization exposed to audit findings and potential access violations.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle is the primary funding window, with planning decisions approaching. State and federal cybersecurity grant programs are available to eligible local government entities, reducing local match burden while closing a critical compliance gap before the next audit cycle.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Program Launch
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has no deployed dash cameras, in-car video, or fleet telematics technology, creating evidentiary gaps and operational blind spots in incident response. This absence elevates liability exposure and limits the department's ability to manage fleet safety and accountability effectively.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle presents a near-term funding window, and law enforcement technology grants such as JAG and COPS TEP may offset local costs. Cooperative purchasing programs are available to streamline procurement and accelerate deployment.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents. Without structured remediation, the city faces ongoing liability risk and fails to meet federal accessibility standards.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle, with a public hearing in May 2026, is an immediate decision window to fund accessibility remediation. Addressing gaps now reduces legal exposure, improves resident service equity, and aligns with current fiscal planning timelines.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Without a dedicated IT Director or documented endpoint management tooling, the city faces significant gaps in patch management, device visibility, and system oversight. For a law enforcement environment subject to CJIS and LEIN security mandates, these gaps represent meaningful compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle—with a public hearing in May 2026—creates a near-term decision window to address foundational IT gaps. Cybersecurity-aligned federal and state grant programs, including those targeting law enforcement technology, offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements.
