Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unposted EOP, no dedicated local Emergency Management Coordinator, and resident trust issues with the existing public alert system. Michigan's EOP review/approval cycle and NIMS implementation mandates create compliance-driven urgency to resolve these deficiencies before they elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
An FY 2025 EMPG grant confirms active funding eligibility, and the recently completed FY 2026–27 budget cycle signals near-term procurement readiness. Addressing these gaps now strengthens compliance posture, restores public trust in emergency communications, and positions the department to pursue additional state and federal preparedness funding.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has documented WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, exposing the municipality to legal and accessibility risk. Audit findings have cited deficiencies, and state-mandated operational reviews create a defined remediation timeline affecting public engagement and equitable service delivery.
The opportunity
Audit citations and an active compliance review cycle establish clear urgency for remediation within the current fiscal period. The recently adopted FY 2026-27 budget and cooperative purchasing agreements support accelerated, cost-effective procurement aligned with public accountability and equitable digital access goals.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fleet-involved accident in July 2024 exposed active vehicle safety gaps, compounded by the absence of a dedicated Fleet Manager to oversee risk and operations. Without structured fleet oversight, liability exposure and operational continuity risks remain unaddressed for public works and municipal services.
The opportunity
An approved Capital Improvements Plan (2026–2031) and a recently adopted FY 2026–27 budget create a timely funding pathway for fleet safety and management solutions. Acting now aligns with current budget cycles, supports cooperative procurement options, and reduces ongoing liability risk to the municipality.

High Priority
About this project
A state-mandated chart of accounts conversion in the municipal financial system has surfaced audit findings, signaling compliance pressure and operational disruption. Concurrent restructuring of departmental receipt processing and invoice approvals underscores the urgency of stabilizing financial administration.
The opportunity
Audit citations and a non-discretionary state mandate create a time-sensitive, compliance-driven case for action. The recently closed FY 2026–27 budget cycle and active financial management signal organizational readiness and potential capacity to fund modernization through the upcoming fiscal window.
