Modernizing Emergency Operations & Public Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple water-related infrastructure failures and declared emergencies have exposed critical gaps in public communication and emergency coordination. Federal compliance mandates—including NIMS implementation and EMPG reporting—create eligibility requirements that must be met to maintain access to key funding streams.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant funding provides clear, accessible paths to address preparedness gaps with limited local match, and the arrival of new emergency management leadership signals an active review of operations and priorities. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the jurisdiction to meet compliance timelines, strengthen hazard mitigation planning, and improve outcomes for residents during declared emergencies.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented notification ecosystem — with separate systems operating at the city, county, and state levels — has strained public communications during water-related infrastructure failures and declared emergencies. This split creates compliance risk under NIMS mandates and EMPG reporting requirements, and delays coordinated public alerts when continuity matters most.
The opportunity
New emergency management leadership, active HSGP and EMPG grant windows, and a proposed FY2027 budget increase create a well-aligned moment to consolidate fragmented systems. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens coordinated response, and positions the jurisdiction to leverage available federal funding before the current grant cycle closes.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Development and Emergency Coordination
Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
Documented water-related infrastructure failures and declared emergencies have exposed gaps in the city's formal hazard mitigation framework. Without a structured plan, the city risks non-compliance with NIMS requirements and jeopardizes eligibility for federal emergency management funding.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant programs provide clear funding paths for hazard mitigation planning, and newly installed emergency management leadership creates immediate organizational momentum. Acting within the current planning cycle strengthens compliance posture, reduces operational risk, and positions the city for sustained federal funding eligibility.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces significantly over-budget insurance costs and a documented fleet-involved accident, signaling unmitigated operational and financial risk. An active interlocal fleet maintenance agreement underscores the need for coordinated, data-informed fleet oversight to protect staff, residents, and public assets.
The opportunity
A prioritized vehicle replacement schedule creates a timely window to integrate telematics and safety technology, with HSGP and EMPG offering secondary funding paths. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports measurable insurance cost reduction, compliance alignment, and improved fleet safety outcomes.
IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An active IT capital fund supports cybersecurity and endpoint management needs, but several key IT contracts are expiring within 18 months, creating gaps in coverage and continuity. Without timely action, the municipality risks unmanaged endpoints, lapses in data protection, and reduced operational resilience for staff and residents.
The opportunity
A proposed 5.9% FY2027 budget increase signals available funding for new IT investments, and secondary cybersecurity funding paths through federal preparedness grants may further offset costs. Acting within the current procurement window aligns replacement decisions with fiscal planning and reduces exposure before contracts lapse.
Website Accessibility & Digital Services Modernization
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's website redesign initiative is underway, with WCAG 2.1 compliance identified as a top urgency driver and a city-wide accessibility assessment likely needed beyond the current engagement platform. A CMS platform contract expiring within 18 months creates a critical decision window for digital infrastructure.
The opportunity
The upcoming contract expiration and FY2027 budget increase provide a timely funding pathway to modernize digital services and close accessibility gaps city-wide. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity of public-facing services and positions the city ahead of compliance risk.
