Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization and Compliance Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A prior ransomware attack, a police network server nearing end-of-life, and identified open service vulnerabilities expose the city to significant operational and public safety risk. Active Texas state mandates require cybersecurity training and password-security certification by August 31, 2026, with MFA deployment currently underway.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 IT budget reflects a 34.5% proposed increase targeting network security and infrastructure, with a public budget hearing on September 15, 2026, creating a near-term funding window. State and federal cybersecurity grant programs may offset costs, and acting before the August 31 compliance deadline reduces audit exposure and operational risk.
Credential & Privileged Access Security Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas compliance mandates require password-security certification by August 31, 2026, creating a firm deadline for action. Identified risky open services and an aging police network server compound credential and access control vulnerabilities, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline and an approved FY 2027 IT budget increase create a clear, time-sensitive window to act. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place to streamline procurement, and state and federal cybersecurity grant programs may offset costs—making this an operationally and fiscally sound investment now.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces documented fleet safety risks including aging frontline vehicles, rising maintenance costs, and a critical evidentiary gap with no GPS or telematics system in place. Police fleet modernization and fleet operations efficiency are active strategic priorities, leaving the city operationally exposed without real-time visibility or monitoring.
The opportunity
Fleet services carry a dedicated FY 2027 budget allocation, with a public funding confirmation hearing on September 15, 2026 representing a near-term decision milestone. Cooperative purchasing programs are confirmed, streamlining procurement and enabling the city to act quickly within existing compliance frameworks.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan with a known review cycle, and corrective actions from a May 2024 wildfire after-action review remain unresolved. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk, particularly as strategic initiatives around mobile command and EOC monitoring move forward.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including EMPG and HSGP are active funding paths for emergency preparedness work, and the city's FY 2027 budget process presents a near-term window to align resources. Formalizing the EOP now reduces liability, supports continuity of operations, and positions the city for grant eligibility.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portal faces a forward-looking compliance requirement under WCAG 2.1, with a defined deadline in 2027. Failure to meet accessibility standards creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2027 compliance horizon provides a clear planning window to assess, budget, and act within the current and upcoming fiscal cycles. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and proactive investment now reduces remediation costs and legal risk later.
