Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a city-branded mass notification system, and documented HSEEP-style exercises. NIMS and Michigan Public Act 201 compliance mandates require an EOP, creating significant legal and operational risk heightened by recent severe weather declarations.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including JAG and HSGP provide viable funding paths for emergency management initiatives, with regional awards already active. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current fiscal and grant cycles.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently relies on county-level alerts rather than a dedicated, city-controlled mass notification system, limiting direct and timely communication with residents and staff during emergencies. This gap creates measurable risk against NIMS compliance requirements and leaves the community underserved during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Active grant programs, including JAG and HSGP, provide viable funding pathways for public-safety communication investments with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle and fiscal planning window allows the city to close preparedness gaps, meet compliance mandates, and strengthen resident safety outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent patrol vehicle collision has exposed immediate safety and liability gaps in fleet oversight. The department lacks dashcam coverage and telematics monitoring, increasing incident risk and limiting the data needed to protect officers, the public, and municipal resources.
The opportunity
An active JAG award to regional law enforcement partners provides a direct funding pathway for public-safety technology, and low procurement thresholds support fast-moving acquisitions. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces liability exposure and advances officer and community safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website lacks documented WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, creating legal exposure under ADA and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. This unresolved obligation poses ongoing risk to the municipality and undermines inclusive service delivery.
The opportunity
Low procurement thresholds allow phased remediation to begin quickly without a lengthy solicitation process, reducing legal risk and improving public access within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this now demonstrates proactive compliance stewardship and strengthens trust in resident-facing digital services.
