Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and a designated Emergency Management coordinator, creating direct regulatory and operational risk. NIMS alignment and EOP review mandates remain unmet, leaving residents and staff without a verified preparedness framework.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP offer dedicated funding for emergency preparedness initiatives, aligning with the City's current compliance gaps and FY planning cycle. Acting now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the City to secure available grant dollars before the window closes.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The City operates a fragmented public alerting environment, with separate notification platforms in use across the City and Township, creating inconsistency in incident coordination and public communications. This fragmentation elevates operational risk and conflicts with NIMS compliance expectations for unified emergency communications.
The opportunity
Consolidating to a single notification platform strengthens alerting reliability, supports EOP and NIMS compliance, and aligns with active EMPG and HSGP grant cycles that fund emergency communications improvements. With FY2026 budget capacity increased and preparedness gaps documented, the conditions for action are favorable now.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The City has an active website revamp underway with identified WCAG and ADA compliance gaps that create legal exposure and restrict equitable resident access to digital services. Without remediation, the City risks civil liability and continued exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential public information.
The opportunity
The active website project creates an immediate, natural procurement window to address accessibility requirements alongside existing digital infrastructure work. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and may align with cooperative purchasing vehicles available in the current fiscal cycle.
Police Camera and MDC Technology Refresh
Public Safety Technology · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The City has budgeted replacements for police cameras and mobile data computers, signaling an active capital procurement cycle. Newly deployed devices introduce endpoint management and cybersecurity risks that must be addressed to maintain operational integrity and data security standards.
The opportunity
An active procurement window and a nearly 9% FY2026 budget increase provide near-term financial capacity for this refresh. Aligning the camera and MDC replacement with the parallel police vehicle program maximizes efficiency and may qualify for COPS TEP or JAG funding pathways.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks dashcams and telematics across its fleet and police vehicles, creating incident misattribution risk—particularly given shared geography with a neighboring township. The active Capital Improvement Plan includes public works vehicle replacements, making this a timely operational and liability gap to address.
The opportunity
CIP-funded vehicle replacements create a natural procurement window, and COPS TEP and JAG grant programs offer eligible funding paths for fleet safety technology. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the City to reduce liability exposure and leverage cooperative purchasing agreements to streamline acquisition.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces cybersecurity grant compliance expectations and a documented need for endpoint management, heightened by an active police technology refresh. Gaps in identity and endpoint security create operational and compliance risk across city systems and public safety infrastructure.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget growth of nearly 9% and an active police tech refresh create a timely window to address endpoint security holistically. Cybersecurity grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, and acting now aligns procurement with current budget capacity and compliance expectations.
