CAD System Replacement for 9-1-1 Operations
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing Computer-Aided Dispatch system is end-of-life and identified as the jurisdiction's top strategic priority, with EMAP reaccreditation requirements mandating a modern, compliant replacement. A dedicated $1.4M budget allocation within the FY2027 IT improvements package reflects the operational and compliance urgency of this initiative.
The opportunity
With an RFP expected in October 2026 and a target go-live of September 2027, the procurement window is defined and near-term, and funding is already approved. Acting now ensures alignment with EMAP compliance timelines and positions the jurisdiction to maintain uninterrupted, mission-critical 9-1-1 service delivery.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented gaps in the Emergency Management Plan—including non-automated sirens, potential IPAWS coverage deficiencies, and unconfirmed mass-notification system integrity following a past data breach—put $3.2M in Homeland Security Grant funding at risk and leave public warning infrastructure vulnerable. EMAP accreditation requirements add compliance urgency, and the current mass-notification contract expires December 2026.
The opportunity
The converging expiration of the existing mass-notification contract and EMAP reaccreditation requirements create a defined, near-term window to resolve compliance gaps and secure $3.2M in Homeland Security Grant funding. Acting within the current fiscal cycle protects public warning continuity, strengthens grant eligibility, and aligns with cooperative purchasing programs already in place to streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Safety Analytics Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Despite existing fleet-tracking and dash camera investments, the city has sustained multiple fleet-involved accidents with significant repair costs, and a recent audit cited Fleet Services deficiencies. Self-insured status and growing Risk Management Fund liabilities heighten the financial and operational urgency to close safety gaps across all vehicle classes.
The opportunity
With $1.1M budget-approved for new police patrol vehicles and an active telematics pilot already underway, the funding and procurement pathway are in place for near-term action. Expanding safety analytics now reduces liability exposure, supports audit remediation, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle and available cooperative purchasing programs.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & IT Service Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An expiring managed security services contract (September–December 2026) and an active ITSM platform replacement initiative have created simultaneous gaps in endpoint protection and IT service delivery. Open PMO leadership positions further strain the capacity to manage these overlapping transitions, elevating operational and cybersecurity risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes $4.6M for IT improvements, and a DOJ public safety technology grant provides an additional funding pathway—making this fiscal cycle the optimal window to act. Consolidating endpoint security and ITSM under a modernized platform reduces risk, closes compliance gaps, and strengthens long-term IT resilience.

Discuss this project →Credential & Password Security Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A documented data breach and the absence of a deployed credential management solution have created a confirmed cybersecurity compliance gap. Without remediation, the organization remains exposed to unauthorized access risks that threaten operational continuity and public trust.
The opportunity
FY2026 JAG funding and a broader FY2027 IT modernization budget provide near-term, accessible pathways to address this gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with available grant windows and reduces ongoing breach-related liability.

Discuss this project →ADA Web Accessibility & Digital Communications Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in public-facing digital communications create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to government services. An ADA Communications Compliance Initiative is actively underway, designated as a named strategic priority with a firm Q3 FY2027 remediation deadline.
The opportunity
The Q3 FY2027 deadline establishes a time-bound compliance window with active leadership support and budget consideration already in motion. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, advances equitable service delivery, and aligns with the current FY2027 planning and appropriations cycle.
