Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Brickston MUD lacks a jurisdiction-specific Emergency Operations Plan, has no defined ownership or renewal path for mass notification, and has faced recent disaster exposure in Travis County. Media scrutiny over a poorly coordinated public alert underscores the operational and reputational risk of unresolved emergency communications gaps.
The opportunity
Homeland Security grant programs (SHSP, UASI) with up to $3.7M in applied or authorized funding are directly earmarked for emergency management improvements, and budget-approved strategic initiatives signal near-term spend readiness. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens public trust, and aligns with the current grant and fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No identified ownership or renewal plan for mass notification leaves a critical gap in alerting staff and residents during emergencies. A recent 'imminent threat alert' incident exposed public-facing communication failures, elevating operational risk and community trust concerns.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved for emergency communications, and Homeland Security grant programs offer substantial funding to accelerate action. Addressing this gap now reduces incident response risk, strengthens public accountability, and aligns with the current grant cycle and fiscal planning window.
Cybersecurity Contract Renewal & Compliance Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An imminent cybersecurity contract expiration creates an urgent replacement window, compounded by Texas-mandated annual cybersecurity certification requirements and an identified need for secure credential management. Ongoing IT consolidation adds complexity, elevating risk to city operations and data security posture.
The opportunity
A hard contract deadline, increased Information Security budget, and awarded grants for cybersecurity training and network threat management create a well-funded, time-sensitive procurement window. Acting now — with an Interim CISO in place — positions the city to modernize security controls and meet compliance mandates ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with upcoming deadlines, and current public-facing digital systems fall short of required accessibility standards. Failure to remediate creates legal exposure, reputational risk, and inequitable access to city services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
A $20M budget approval for city-level technology investments includes modernization of systems supporting the digital experience, providing a direct funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance deadlines, reduces legal risk, and ensures equitable public access to city services.
Fleet Electrification and Vehicle Procurement Modernization
Fleet Management · Sustainability & Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The city has budget-approved initiatives to expand electrification infrastructure and procure new and replacement fleet vehicles, but current fleet status and controls remain unknown. Unquantified insurance and claims exposure signals visibility and risk management gaps that could affect operational continuity and fiscal accountability.
The opportunity
With executive-level budget approval already in place, the current fiscal cycle presents a structured window to advance fleet electrification and close asset visibility gaps. Addressing these gaps now supports long-term cost stewardship, reduces unquantified liability exposure, and aligns with broader infrastructure modernization goals.
