Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Mass Notification Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces documented mass-notification reliability failures, an outdated and inaccessible Emergency Operations Plan, and a vacant Emergency Management Coordinator role. NIMS implementation requirements tied to grant eligibility and Michigan EOP review guidance create compounding compliance urgency.
The opportunity
Active FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant cycles align directly with this initiative, and the recently adopted FY2026–27 budget signals strong timing for action. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational and compliance risk while positioning the city to secure available federal preparedness funding.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG compliance gaps across public-facing portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for residents. Active remediation efforts are underway, with compliance mandates serving as a primary operational driver for closing these deficiencies.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget and transition to a new e-procurement platform create a strong timing window to expand or complement current accessibility initiatives. Acting now supports compliance, reduces legal risk, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Ground vehicles currently lack telematics and dashcam coverage, creating liability exposure and evidentiary gaps in disputes. A recent drone crash further underscores broader equipment failure risks and public safety vulnerabilities across the fleet.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026-27 budget includes increased Motor Vehicle Pool appropriations and a $620,000 Justice Federal Forfeiture Fund capital outlay, providing direct funding alignment. Fleet replacement is an active strategic initiative, making this an immediate window to close safety and liability gaps.

Public Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active Public Safety Technology Modernization initiative with documented gaps in mass-notification reliability, EOP currency, and emergency management leadership. NIMS compliance requirements and overdue EOP reviews elevate both operational and grant-eligibility risk.
The opportunity
Increased Police Department appropriations in the FY2026-27 budget and a $620,000 Justice Federal Forfeiture Fund capital outlay provide near-term funding backing, with FEMA HSGP and BRIC grants offering additional alignment. Acting within this budget cycle strengthens compliance posture and public safety outcomes before grant windows close.

Discuss this project →Consolidate Endpoint Management and Cybersecurity Controls
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented device procurement and an IT leadership vacancy have left endpoint and credential management practices inconsistent and difficult to govern. Active cybersecurity mandates and ongoing document management needs elevate operational and compliance risk across city departments.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026-27 budget reflects documented software and device spend, and the transition to a new e-procurement platform creates a timely opening to consolidate and standardize endpoint controls. Acting within this fiscal cycle supports compliance posture, reduces continuity risk, and aligns with available cooperative procurement channels.

Discuss this project →E-Procurement Platform Transition and Modernization
Procurement Modernization · Financial Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively transitioning to a new e-procurement platform, modernizing its procurement and financial operations infrastructure. This shift creates immediate demand for new solicitations, vendor onboarding, and updated contract structures aligned with the incoming system.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2026–27 budget coincides directly with this platform transition, creating a high-urgency window for procurement activity and new contract awards. Acting now ensures continuity of operations, competitive sourcing, and alignment with current fiscal planning cycles.
