Cybersecurity & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department faces annual Texas cybersecurity compliance obligations—including training and incident reporting mandates—alongside IT goals to reduce network attack surfaces and close a centralized credential management gap. A prior ransomware incident highlights the operational risk of delayed action for staff, residents, and public services.
The opportunity
FY 2027 IT budget growth and an active MFA rollout create a timely window to advance identity security before the next compliance cycle. This project may be eligible for cooperative purchasing vehicles and federal grant programs supporting cybersecurity tools and technology improvements.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city's expanding IT footprint—including camera systems, network infrastructure, and growing staff—lacks centralized endpoint management and monitoring, increasing exposure to cybersecurity incidents. Texas cybersecurity mandates, a prior ransomware event, and active MFA implementation underscore the urgency of closing visibility and control gaps across the environment.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget finalization presents a timely window, with a 34.5% IT budget increase already signaling institutional readiness. Federal grant programs supporting information systems and cybersecurity improvements may offset costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates aging specialized vehicles—including fire engines, ambulances, and wildland units—with a documented absence of fleetwide telematics and a historical vehicle rollover incident. Active procurement of replacement apparatus creates an immediate window to integrate visibility and safety tools across the entire fleet.
The opportunity
Increased Fire Department expenditures and State EMS funding align with the current budget cycle, supporting fleet safety investment now. Cooperative purchasing programs are available to streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating time to deployment.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces unconfirmed EOP status, documented communication failures during wildfire response, and active capital initiatives including a mobile command vehicle, EOC remodel, and wildfire detection system. These gaps elevate operational and life-safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FEMA HMGP funding has already been secured for wildfire detection, signaling near-term project readiness and active grant pursuit. Increased Fire Department expenditures and State EMS funding further support investment, making this an ideal moment to close preparedness gaps and strengthen coordinated emergency response.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web portals must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards under a federal ADA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028. Failure to achieve conformance exposes the city to legal liability and limits equitable digital access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget finalization creates an immediate window to fund scoping and remediation before the fixed 2028 deadline. Acting now allows sufficient time for assessment, procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and phased implementation without emergency cost premiums.
