Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan and a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating critical preparedness gaps. Compliance mandates under NIMS and Michigan Publication 201 require a reviewed and signed EOP, leaving the municipality exposed to regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026/2027 budget cycle and public hearings create an immediate procurement window, while grants such as JAG, HSGP, EMPG, and BRIC offer viable funding paths with limited local match. Acting now closes compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and aligns investment with available state and federal resources.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No city-level mass notification system currently exists, leaving residents and staff without a reliable alert mechanism during emergencies. This gap compounds broader preparedness deficiencies, including the absence of a formal EOP and designated EM Coordinator, elevating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026/2027 budget cycle and alignment with HSGP and EMPG grant programs create a timely, low-displacement procurement window. Acting now addresses critical NIMS and Michigan Publication 201 compliance mandates while strengthening community safety outcomes ahead of the next fiscal year.
Fleet Telematics and Camera System Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Aging fleet equipment and gaps in telematics and camera coverage are limiting incident documentation, situational awareness, and vehicle lifecycle oversight. Inadequate maintenance funding compounds these risks, reducing operational reliability and accountability for public safety personnel.
The opportunity
The current FY 2026/2027 budget cycle and available grant programs—including JAG and COPS TEP—present a timely funding pathway for fleet technology upgrades. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment before the fiscal window closes.
Police IT Infrastructure Modernization Initiative
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active internal initiative to modernize police technology infrastructure is underway, but a fragmented ecosystem — including a split dispatch arrangement with the county — creates integration gaps and operational risk. Aging equipment and limited technology management capabilities further strain service delivery and officer effectiveness.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026/2027 budget cycle, a recently approved local IT contract, and a positive public safety funding environment create an immediate procurement window. Grants such as JAG and COPS TEP may offset costs, and acting now positions the department ahead of potential leadership transitions.
