Emergency Management Plan Review & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly documented, current Emergency Management Plan, operates fragmented resident warning channels, and has no public after-action review following a recent severe weather event. An active annual all-hazards EMP review mandate and ongoing dispatch-center modernization elevate both compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes dedicated public safety and emergency management allocations, and new municipal leadership creates a timely opening for comprehensive plan modernization. Acting within the current budget cycle addresses the recurring review mandate, reduces resident safety risk, and positions the city for state and federal preparedness funding eligibility.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city operates under an active Texas DIR cybersecurity compliance mandate with a deadline of August 31, 2026, and identified gaps in password management represent a direct compliance risk. While the existing Microsoft 365 G5 environment reflects a modern IT baseline, the absence of dedicated password management tooling leaves credentials and systems exposed.
The opportunity
The August 2026 Texas DIR training deadline creates immediate urgency to close credential security gaps before audit exposure increases. The adopted FY2026–2027 budget includes dedicated IT services allocations, and new city leadership presents a timely opening for technology modernization aligned with compliance and public trust.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028, with unresolved document and portal accessibility gaps remaining despite an existing CMS platform. These gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to city services and information.
The opportunity
New leadership, an approved FY2026–2027 budget, and a defined compliance timeline create a favorable window for near-term action. Addressing accessibility gaps now supports public equity, reduces legal risk, and aligns procurement with current budget cycle availability.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Monitoring & Cost Control Initiative
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Documented fleet-involved accidents, including a serious police unit rollover, and unsegmented vehicle repair costs signal elevated safety and financial risk. Limited vehicle-facing monitoring reduces operational visibility, leaving the city without data needed to prevent incidents or control maintenance expenditures.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026–2027 budget includes vehicle maintenance allocations, and new municipal and police leadership creates a timely opening for fleet safety improvements. Acting now aligns investment with the current budget cycle, supports officer safety, and builds the operational data foundation needed for long-term cost stewardship.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Resident warning systems are fragmented across multiple platforms—including RSS feeds, outdoor sirens, and a third-party communication tool—reducing reliability and reach during emergencies. This lack of integration creates operational risk and gaps in the city's ability to deliver timely, consistent alerts to the public.
The opportunity
New city leadership and an adopted FY2026–2027 budget with increased public safety and emergency management allocations create a timely opening to consolidate notification infrastructure. Acting now aligns with the ongoing all-hazards Emergency Management Plan review and supports cooperative purchasing pathways that streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →Modernize Municipal Endpoint and IT Systems Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a maturing Microsoft 365 environment but lacks identified endpoint and IT management tooling, creating visibility and operational continuity gaps. With IT services explicitly budgeted in FY2026–2027 and new leadership in place, unmanaged endpoints represent growing security and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
Active IT budget allocations in the current fiscal cycle and incoming leadership reviews create a timely window to address endpoint management gaps without competing procurement priorities. Acting now supports operational resilience, aligns with cybersecurity compliance timelines, and maximizes available funding capacity.
