Strengthen City IT Security and Cloud Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented password management and has identified gaps in security monitoring and cyber-threat detection, with no dedicated endpoint or credential security controls currently in place. A budget-approved initiative to migrate city and police IT applications to cloud platforms increases exposure if foundational security gaps are not addressed concurrently.
The opportunity
The FY2026 budget includes a $115,000 IT spending increase, and federal justice and homeland security grant programs offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity improvements. Acting before the October 1 budget decision window aligns procurement with approved appropriations and reduces operational and compliance risk.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The police department currently operates without dash cameras or telematics, leaving claims data opaque and fleet performance unmonitored. The FY2026 budget allocates $315,000 for patrol vehicle replacement, but without integrated monitoring tools, risk management and operational visibility gaps persist.
The opportunity
Budget approval and an existing GIS infrastructure create a near-term foundation for telematics integration aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing options are available to streamline procurement, reduce administrative burden, and accelerate deployment within the active budget window.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and relies on fragmented, multi-platform mass notification systems split across city and county, creating critical gaps in coordinated response. Recent state disaster declarations have yielded no department-specific findings, signaling unresolved preparedness and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) offer aligned funding pathways, and the FY2026 budget cycle presents a near-term window for action. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces operational risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city for audit readiness.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity has identified gaps in website accessibility that fall short of WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, despite an existing CMS in place. With a federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, remediation planning must begin now to avoid legal exposure and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.
The opportunity
The FY2026–27 budget decision window, closing before October 1, offers a near-term funding alignment point to initiate planning well ahead of the 2028 deadline. Acting now allows for phased implementation, reduces last-minute remediation risk, and supports equitable access to public services.

Discuss this project →Police Communications Infrastructure Modernization
Public Safety · Communications Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The department's reliance on legacy radio systems creates operational risk for officer safety and interoperability during critical incidents. A planned transition to digital communications infrastructure is underway, with $295,625 allocated in the FY2026 capital budget to address this gap.
The opportunity
Funding is confirmed in the active FY2026 capital budget, creating a defined procurement window for this initiative. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and ensure timely deployment ahead of the next budget cycle.
