E911 Dispatch Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified active operational gaps in dispatch technology infrastructure, including recording and radio systems, with capital funding approved for 2026 remediation. Unaddressed gaps in E911 systems elevate risk to dispatch continuity and public safety response.
The opportunity
Allocated capital funding for 2026 and active alignment with federal emergency management grants (HSGP, EMPG) create a near-term window to advance procurement with limited local match burden. Acting within this fiscal cycle ensures continuity of dispatch operations and strengthens community emergency response capacity.
Outdoor Warning Siren System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A $950,000 capital project for outdoor warning siren modernization has been approved, driven in part by documented siren failures in a neighboring community that exposed critical public alert gaps. Aging infrastructure and demonstrated regional failures elevate both life-safety risk and community accountability for timely action.
The opportunity
Budget is approved for 2026, and active HSGP and EMPG grant eligibility may offset additional project costs. Regional siren failures have created strong political and public safety urgency, making this an ideal moment to advance modernization and strengthen community-wide emergency alerting outcomes.
Fire Department Paging Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department is transitioning from legacy analog paging to digital systems to close critical gaps in operational reliability and interoperability. With $260,000 in approved capital funding, this initiative addresses communication failures that can directly impact emergency response outcomes.
The opportunity
Capital funding is already allocated for 2026, making this a ready-to-execute project within the current fiscal cycle. Active HSGP and EMPG grant programs further support emergency communications modernization, reducing local cost burden while strengthening department-wide readiness.
Emergency Operations Plan Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's Emergency Management Act mandates an updated EOP with a hard deadline of June 25, 2026, and board approval is pending. Failure to meet this deadline creates regulatory exposure and operational risk for emergency response continuity across the jurisdiction.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grants are active for FY2026 and explicitly aligned to emergency management technology and equipment needs, reducing local funding burden. The imminent board approval and statutory deadline create a defined procurement window that aligns with current budget and grant cycles.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, with identified legal exposure for non-compliance. Web accessibility is a Master Plan action item, and budget has been explicitly allocated to address these gaps across court and imaging systems.
The opportunity
The April 24, 2026 deadline creates extreme urgency, and allocated budget reduces procurement friction for rapid action. Remediating now protects the public's right to equitable digital access, limits legal liability, and fulfills a funded Master Plan commitment ahead of the fiscal deadline.

Cybersecurity · Critical Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Central Dispatch is actively procuring a cybersecurity audit while managing IT staffing vacancies, creating elevated exposure to security incidents and service continuity risk. Concurrent infrastructure investment in virtual server capacity signals a broader modernization effort requiring coordinated security oversight.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle and approved capital budget create an immediate window to advance endpoint security and infrastructure hardening before staffing gaps compound operational risk. Aligning this initiative with the current fiscal year supports cost-effective, compliant deployment of managed security capabilities.
