Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear mass notification protocols, and depends on county systems without a designated city coordinator — creating significant compliance and operational exposure under NIMS and EMPG mandates during critical incidents.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant eligibility offer a well-funded path forward with limited local match required, and an August 2026 millage renewal vote could further strengthen public safety investment. New city leadership increases receptivity, making this an ideal moment to close preparedness gaps.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals reflect an unresolved WCAG compliance gap, exposing the municipality to legal liability and limiting equitable access to services for residents with disabilities. Prior remediation efforts have not achieved full resolution, and the FY26-27 budget cycle adds urgency to close this gap before risk compounds.
The opportunity
WCAG mandates carry real legal and reputational consequences for municipalities that remain non-compliant. Acting within the current budget planning window allows the city to align funding, leverage cooperative procurement vehicles, and deliver accessible digital services equitably to all residents.

Public Safety · Workforce Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department's active recruitment and hiring initiative is expanding the public safety workforce, but operational efficiency and training technology have not kept pace. Without supporting tools, onboarding, scheduling, and workforce management gaps may strain service delivery and increase operational risk.
The opportunity
Recent leadership transitions and a staffing growth focus create a timely opening to align workforce technology investments with the upcoming FY budget cycle. General fund stability from tax increases provides a baseline, while grant pathways may offset costs for qualifying public safety initiatives.
