Emergency Operations Plan Development & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formal, city-specific Emergency Operations Plan, relying on county-level emergency management in conflict with Michigan Publication 201 compliance mandates. Critical equipment funding gaps, no dedicated disaster personnel budget, and a fragmented mass notification ecosystem compound operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs—including those targeting hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness—provide viable funding pathways with strong alignment to this project scope. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens service continuity for residents following recent ambulance service disruptions.
Mass Notification System Modernization and Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification environment operates across separate county and municipal platforms, creating coordination gaps that reduce effectiveness during emergencies. This fragmented ecosystem, combined with identified emergency preparedness gaps and reliance on county-level support, elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness and public safety communications—including BRIC, HSGP, and EMPG—support consolidation efforts with potential for significant cost offset. Acting within the current funding cycle strengthens emergency response readiness, addresses compliance obligations under state emergency management mandates, and reduces coordination risk across jurisdictions.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
No fleet telematics solution is currently in place, leaving the ambulance fleet without dash-cam or telematics data coverage and exposing the municipality to safety and liability risk. A prior ambulance incident and active DOT/FMCSA compliance mandates make addressing this gap operationally urgent.
The opportunity
Active fleet modernization efforts and capital equipment replacement planning create a natural procurement window, with cooperative purchasing options available to streamline acquisition. Positive budget signals in public works and emergency services support near-term action aligned with compliance requirements and the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Patrol car computer replacements and interview room recording upgrades are underway, but fragmented endpoint security creates compliance and operational risk. Without consolidated visibility into endpoint protection, the agency faces gaps in security posture and limited ability to assess full IT spend or exposure.
The opportunity
Active hardware refresh cycles create a near-term window to address endpoint security gaps alongside planned procurement. Mild grant alignment for resilience-focused cybersecurity and cooperative purchasing options may reduce local cost burden, making this an efficient moment to act within the current IT planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity's public-facing website has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure under ADA and federal accessibility mandates. A federal effective date elevates urgency, and current external website management may shape the remediation approach and timeline.
The opportunity
A federally mandated compliance deadline creates clear time sensitivity, and remediating now reduces legal risk while improving equitable digital access for all residents. This initiative can be scoped independently, making it actionable within the current fiscal cycle without dependency on larger infrastructure efforts.
