Emergency Management & 911 Dispatch Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's emergency operations plan is outdated, the mass notification system is uncertain, and the 911 dispatch recording environment is aging — all while NIMS compliance obligations remain active. End-of-life dispatch systems must be replaced by January 2027, and recent real-world storm response has exposed operational gaps that elevate risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A hard January 2027 EOL deadline and an upcoming FY2027 budget hearing define a clear procurement window, with over $2.3M in allocated funding — including reserve transfers and capital outlay — already confirmed. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place to streamline acquisition and ensure responsible stewardship of public safety funds.

About this project
End-of-life IT equipment has been approved for replacement, and a mandate exists for centralized identity and password management across city systems. NIMS and criminal-justice information system compliance requirements elevate the risk of inaction, and the scale of citywide IT requests—totaling $2.9M—underscores the urgency of a coordinated modernization effort.
The opportunity
Approved EOL replacements and an upcoming FY2027 budget hearing create immediate procurement windows. The JAG Local Formula grant directly supports criminal-justice technology improvements, offering a viable funding pathway. Acting now aligns spending with confirmed budget allocations and reduces compliance and operational risk.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent fleet-involved accidents—including totaled patrol vehicles and officer injuries—have driven up insurance costs and exposed gaps in driver-risk oversight. The existing fleet management system is end-of-life, creating both a safety liability and an operational continuity risk for public safety personnel.
The opportunity
Documented accidents and rising insurance costs provide a strong, defensible business case for investment ahead of the FY2027 budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and demonstrated ROI through accident reduction and insurance savings supports responsible stewardship of public funds.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The public-facing website has identified gaps against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating a hard federal compliance deadline of April 2027. Inaction carries legal and regulatory risk, and the current platform requires remediation to meet accessibility requirements for all residents.
The opportunity
The April 2027 federal deadline is firm, and the upcoming FY2027 budget cycle creates a timely window to fund remediation. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and leadership transitions present an opening to advance digital modernization priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification environment has unresolved capability and coverage gaps, flagged directly in the jurisdiction's emergency preparedness assessment. Combined with an outdated Basic Plan and the absence of EMPG awards, these deficiencies create measurable risk to NIMS compliance and public safety operations.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle and available cooperative purchasing agreements provide a near-term procurement pathway to address these gaps efficiently. Recent leadership transitions signal openness to modernization, and EMPG-eligible initiatives support funding alignment for compliant, community-protective notification infrastructure.
