Mass Notification System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cyberattack forced the decommissioning of the city's mass notification platform, leaving the organization reliant on an interim provider without a stable, long-term emergency communications solution. This gap elevates operational and compliance risk, particularly with an Emergency Preparedness audit scheduled for 2026 and active EOP update mandates.
The opportunity
A dedicated $5M Homeland Security and Emergency Management budget and applicable HSGP grant funding create a clear, immediate pathway to procure a permanent solution. Cooperative purchasing agreements enable an accelerated procurement timeline, reducing risk ahead of the 2026 audit and strengthening community-wide emergency response continuity.
Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Audit Readiness
Emergency Management · Compliance & Audit Readiness
High Priority
About this project
Explicit mandates require EOP updates aligned to Michigan State Police and EMHSD standards, yet gaps in documented review dates, policy currency, and staff continuity leave the county exposed. A formal Emergency Preparedness audit scheduled for 2026 creates a near-term accountability milestone with real operational and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The 2026 audit deadline establishes a firm, non-negotiable window for EOP remediation and documentation. A confirmed $5M emergency management budget and Homeland Security Grant Program eligibility provide viable funding pathways, making this an actionable priority within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals with unresolved WCAG 2.0 A/AA gaps expose the entity to legal liability and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. Compliance gaps across the current CMS environment require structured remediation to meet federal and state accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal exposure and aligns with ADA compliance obligations ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline procurement and maximize stewardship of public funds.

Fleet Management · Public Transit
High Priority
About this project
Active fleet procurement activity, including vehicle acquisition, is underway with integration into existing geospatial infrastructure as an operational consideration. No documented telematics mandate or fleet safety urgency exists, but operational coordination and asset visibility remain ongoing administrative priorities.
The opportunity
A transit millage pending voter approval could establish a dedicated funding stream for fleet operations expansion, making early planning and procurement structuring critical ahead of potential budget availability. Cooperative purchasing pathways offer accessible deal structures aligned with current fiscal planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization After Breach
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cyberattack exposed foundational security gaps, including the absence of a documented password management solution and no confirmed remote monitoring and management platform. These vulnerabilities present ongoing operational and reputational risk to public services and sensitive government data.
The opportunity
Post-incident pressure and an annual IT and software spend exceeding $18M signal both urgency and financial capacity to close critical security gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the organization to reduce breach recurrence risk and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public infrastructure.
