Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and is overdue on required reviews under Michigan Publication 201/201a and NIMS, with no dedicated emergency management budget. A new City Manager and recent tornado declarations have intensified compliance exposure and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant windows with mid-2026 deadlines offer viable funding paths, and approved budgets for Emergency Management & Public Safety initiatives signal active FY2027–2029 planning cycles. Acting now closes critical compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and aligns procurement with cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline execution.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's existing mass notification platform may not fully meet updated NIMS and Michigan Publication 201/201a compliance requirements, and an overdue EOP review—now accelerated by new city leadership—has exposed critical gaps in emergency preparedness and public alerting continuity.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in mid-2026, a $7.5M ARPA spending deadline, and budget-approved emergency management initiatives through FY 2027–2029 create a near-term window to modernize notification infrastructure, reduce compliance risk, and strengthen community resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals carry ADA compliance exposure where WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards have not yet been fully implemented. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal risk and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
An active Website & Digital Services strategic initiative signals a near-term procurement window aligned with broader digital transformation goals. Addressing compliance now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the project for inclusion in the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
IT Infrastructure Modernization Before ARPA Deadline
IT Modernization · Public Sector Procurement
High Priority
About this project
Active IT infrastructure upgrades are underway, with recent equipment quotes signaling an ongoing procurement cycle. A $7.5M ARPA allocation carries a hard end-of-2026 spending deadline, requiring eligible technology commitments to be finalized before funds are forfeited.
The opportunity
The ARPA deadline and an upcoming FY27 budget retreat create a narrow, time-sensitive window to advance technology investments with existing public funds. Acting now ensures eligible projects are committed before the fiscal deadline closes and positions the entity for a stronger FY27 technology baseline.
