Emergency Management Platform & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Milan lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and clear emergency management leadership, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. These gaps leave the municipality vulnerable during incidents and out of alignment with state and federal emergency management mandates.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget, including a proposed emergency management technology allocation and a nearly $1 million fire department budget with millage discussions, signals a near-term funding window. Federal grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness further support a cost-effective path to closing compliance gaps and strengthening community resilience.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification platform shows signs of capability gaps against evolving emergency communication requirements, with no public emergency operations plan, documented exercises, or clear EM leadership on record. These deficiencies elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders alike.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget and active public safety funding discussions—including grant programs aligned to emergency preparedness—create a timely window to act. Modernizing now strengthens community resilience, closes documented preparedness gaps, and positions the city to leverage available state and federal funding.
Cybersecurity & Password Management Upgrade
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified cybersecurity and password management as active compliance needs, but current tooling suggests gaps in maturity or coverage rather than a fully addressed posture. Engagement with public safety technologies—including ALPR systems and state network access—elevates the risk profile and underscores the need for a more comprehensive security approach.
The opportunity
The recent adoption of the FY2026–27 budget and approval of a new Finance Director create a near-term window for technology investment discussions. The JAG grant offers a viable funding pathway aligned with law enforcement cybersecurity needs, supporting action within the current fiscal cycle.
Fleet Safety & In-Vehicle Technology Deployment
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented dash-cam deployment and has limited public visibility into fleet safety practices, creating measurable operational and liability exposure. Prior interest from the police department in body and dash cameras signals an internal readiness gap that remains unaddressed.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget and active public safety millage discussions create a near-term funding alignment window for fleet safety investment. Grant programs such as JAG support law enforcement technology needs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces unquantified but real legal and resident-access risk due to undocumented WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gaps on its public-facing website. Without a clear remediation plan, the municipality remains exposed to accessibility complaints and potential civil rights liability.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget creates a near-term window to fund accessibility remediation and reduce regulatory exposure. Addressing compliance now supports equitable resident access to public services and aligns with current municipal planning cycles.
