Emergency Operations Plan & Continuity Planning Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified critical preparedness gaps, including an outdated Emergency Operations Plan, an uncontracted mass-notification system, and missing exercise after-action reports. FY27 budget commitments explicitly target emergency management and continuity planning, signaling both urgency and funded intent to close these compliance and operational gaps.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026, is a near-term decision window, with $169,031 annually allocated to emergency management and public safety technology. Acting now aligns with approved strategic initiatives, supports community resilience, and positions the department to leverage existing regional platform integrations.

Discuss this project →Criminal Justice IT Compliance & Cybersecurity Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
New regulations for criminal justice information systems mandate multi-factor authentication and encryption, creating immediate compliance pressure for public safety operations. A budget-approved FY27 initiative addresses IT controls, monitoring, training, and infrastructure — including a planned server investment — but action is needed before the September budget cycle closes.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly covers criminal justice information systems and cybersecurity, offering a near-term federal funding path. With the FY27 budget hearing approaching and no incumbent systems to displace, this is an optimal window to advance compliance, reduce operational risk, and protect public safety data.

Discuss this project →Endpoint and Infrastructure Modernization for FY27
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Aging endpoints, servers, and technology assets are creating operational risk as the department works to establish a formal internal IT function. A $105K server investment and broader hardware refresh are budget-approved for FY27, signaling urgency to modernize before infrastructure gaps affect service delivery.
The opportunity
FY27 capital funding has increased over 150%, creating a defined window to act on approved technology initiatives before budget commitments are finalized. Supplemental federal grant funding may offset additional modernization costs, reducing the burden on local appropriations.

Discuss this project →Citywide Fleet Modernization & Safety Technology Adoption
Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city has a budget-approved initiative for fleet modernization and fleet management software, but currently lacks in-vehicle safety technology for driver behavior monitoring and accident reconstruction. Integration of pavement and asset data into existing GIS systems remains an unmet operational need.
The opportunity
Fleet management software is explicitly included in FY27 budget proposals, with a critical procurement decision window at the September 2026 budget hearing. Acting within this cycle secures funded capacity, closes a greenfield technology gap, and strengthens fleet safety and operational accountability.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals currently meet WCAG 2.0 standards, but the emerging WCAG 2.1 mandate sets a 2028 compliance deadline, creating a time-bound obligation to ensure equitable access for all residents. Failure to act proactively risks non-compliance, potential legal exposure, and exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
The FY27 IT modernization plan includes controls and digital infrastructure components that can be leveraged to advance accessibility upgrades, making early budget inclusion both practical and cost-efficient. Engaging now allows the entity to phase remediation strategically, avoid last-minute compliance costs, and demonstrate equitable service delivery ahead of the 2028 deadline.
