Mass Notification System Replacement After Cyberattack
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's mass notification platform was compromised in a November 2025 cyberattack, exposing critical gaps in public alerting and emergency communications. Compounding this, documented EOP deficiencies and overdue compliance requirements—including NIMS implementation and exercise documentation—elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP, EMPG) and an active FY26/27 adopted budget create a clear, near-term funding path for a compliant replacement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle restores public alerting continuity, closes emergency preparedness gaps, and supports EOP compliance before the next review cycle.
Emergency Operations Plan Update and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, has documented gaps in NIMS implementation and EOP review cycles, and experienced a tornado siren failure that exposes systemic weaknesses in emergency warning infrastructure. These gaps elevate compliance and operational risk for residents and first responders alike.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 through HSGP and EMPG directly fund emergency preparedness initiatives, and the FY26/27 budget cycle is actively underway. Acting now aligns procurement with available funding, closes critical compliance gaps, and strengthens community resilience before the next severe weather season.
Police Fleet Safety & Camera Deployment Initiative
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks in-car and body-worn cameras, faces multiple active liability lawsuits tied to traffic stops, and is under ongoing media scrutiny. These gaps create significant legal exposure and officer accountability risk requiring urgent fleet safety and camera technology deployment.
The opportunity
A budget-approved fleet replacement program signals secured funding and imminent procurement, while JAG and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 provide additional funding paths for vehicle telematics and camera systems. A new Police Chief appointed in late 2024 creates a timely window for technology review and modernization aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
Cybersecurity & Password Management Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cyberattack on the city's mass-notification platform exposed credential security gaps and broader IT hygiene vulnerabilities across city systems. Unaddressed, these weaknesses elevate operational risk, threaten service continuity, and leave residents and staff exposed to further incidents.
The opportunity
The high-profile nature of the incident creates immediate political and operational urgency, while existing IT operations and software maintenance budget lines provide a viable funding pathway. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate compliant procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
