Emergency Management Compliance & EOP Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces documented gaps in NIMS compliance, EOP integration, exercise readiness, and Michigan State Preparedness Report requirements. A formal emergency preparedness audit is planned for 2026, creating direct regulatory exposure and operational risk to public safety response capabilities.
The opportunity
The 2026 audit timeline and upcoming budget hearings establish a clear near-term procurement window, while HSGP and BRIC grant programs explicitly support eligible emergency management technology with available funding. Acting now positions the jurisdiction to close compliance gaps, strengthen response readiness, and maximize grant alignment before deadlines pass.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently depends on a county-level alert system for emergency notifications, with no standalone mass notification capability of its own. This gap in communications readiness, combined with NIMS and EOP integration requirements, elevates operational and compliance risk ahead of a planned 2026 emergency preparedness audit.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and BRIC grant eligibility provide a near-term funding pathway to close notification gaps with limited local match required. Advancing this project now aligns with the 2026 audit timeline, strengthens NIMS/EOP compliance, and ensures residents and first responders receive reliable, jurisdiction-controlled emergency communications.
Fleet Telematics & Safety Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fleet with no documented telematics or dash-cam systems, and a prior equipment fire incident has exposed maintenance and oversight gaps. Planned fleet acquisitions—including a new fire engine—amplify safety and operational risk without a structured monitoring framework in place.
The opportunity
A transit millage measure, if approved, would create a significant funding pathway for fleet technology investment, and new vehicle acquisitions offer a natural implementation window. Acting now aligns with the current budget cycle and addresses documented safety risks before the fleet expands further.

Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has no remediation plan in place for website accessibility, creating measurable legal exposure under ADA and Section 508 requirements. This gap limits equitable public access to digital services and leaves the entity vulnerable to complaints, audits, and potential litigation.
The opportunity
With no existing plan, this is an immediate, addressable compliance risk that aligns with current fiscal planning cycles and a city-level software budget allocation. Acting now reduces legal liability, improves service equity for all residents, and positions the city ahead of anticipated audit activity in 2026.

IT Modernization · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
High staff turnover and multiple leadership transitions — including a new Fire Chief and City Administrator — are exposing gaps in IT management and operational continuity. With a documented city-level software budget and succession planning concerns, existing systems are under scrutiny and at risk of misalignment with current needs.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget hearings represent a near-term funding decision point, and new leadership creates a strategic window to advance efficiency tooling with institutional support. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the city to align technology investments with operational priorities and steward its $18M+ IT spend more effectively.
