Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented HSEEP exercise history, and operates a fragmented mass notification system across two platforms. These gaps create significant compliance exposure under Michigan EOP and NIMS mandates, leaving residents and staff vulnerable during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 through HSGP and BRIC create a near-term, well-funded window to close preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Recent leadership transitions open the door for strategic realignment, making this an ideal moment to advance compliance and strengthen community resilience.
Mass Notification Consolidation for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates two competing mass notification platforms, creating fragmented coverage and reduced reliability when alerting residents and staff during emergencies. This gap conflicts with Michigan EOP and NIMS compliance mandates, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 create a near-term funding window directly applicable to emergency notification modernization. Consolidating to a unified platform now strengthens compliance posture, improves resident reach, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Police Fleet Safety and Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent police cruiser total loss has exposed $50,000–$80,000 in replacement costs and unresolved liability risks tied to an aging fleet and evidence gaps. With no confirmed fleet management solution in place, the department faces continued safety, accountability, and operational continuity risks.
The opportunity
FY2026–27 budget allocations for police vehicles and equipment are approved, and grants including COPS TEP and JAG with July 2026 deadlines directly fund fleet technology. New police leadership signals readiness for modernization, making this an ideal window to act before the funding cycle closes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has committed to achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility across its public-facing digital portals, with FY2026–27 budget approval and active procurement signaling an in-progress initiative. Gaps in digital accessibility create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to essential city services.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–27 budget and active procurement cycle create a near-term window to advance compliance and reduce legal risk. Cooperative purchasing programs available to Michigan municipalities can streamline procurement and accelerate delivery within the current fiscal timeline.
