Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 across public-facing portals and documents, with gaps in accessible document workflows posing legal and equity risks. Failure to comply could expose the city to federal accessibility complaints and erode public trust in digital services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a firm decision window aligned with an approved FY2027 budget that includes line items for document and licensing tools. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling accelerated, compliant procurement before the deadline.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2009, leaving jurisdiction-wide gaps in evacuation, flood warning, and response capacity. The ongoing Public Safety Complex initiative heightens urgency to consolidate and modernize emergency management capabilities before the next crisis event.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes a dedicated $138K allocation for emergency management and public safety technology, and the State Homeland Security Program grant offers an aligned funding path. Incoming leadership and the Public Safety Complex capital project create a rare, time-sensitive window to close preparedness gaps and reduce community risk.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's annual cybersecurity training certification deadline has passed, creating an active compliance gap that elevates institutional risk. Ongoing municipal broadband expansion and IT consolidation into a new Public Safety Complex are broadening the attack surface, while aging security tools approach end-of-contract status.
The opportunity
The BJA FY2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program (deadline October 2026) is an eligible funding source for cybersecurity initiatives, and the approved FY2027 IT Fund increase of $863K confirms immediate spending authority. Acting now closes the compliance gap, reduces operational risk, and aligns with current grant and fiscal-year windows.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Public concerns over unsafe apparatus movement and a formal city-wide driver safety initiative signal growing accountability pressure on fleet operations. Fire fleet modernization is an explicitly funded strategic priority, indicating a formal evaluation is likely underway and operational risk is actively being assessed.
The opportunity
With fire fleet modernization already approved as a funded initiative and cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline procurement, the path to action is clear. Advancing this project within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure and strengthens public safety accountability across city operations.

Discuss this project →Unified Communications Platform Modernization
IT Modernization · Unified Communications
High Priority
About this project
The city's current unified communications contract expires in February 2027, creating a mandatory decision point for platform continuity. Delayed action risks disruption to IT and emergency management communication workflows that staff and residents depend on daily.
The opportunity
The approved FY2027 IT budget provides immediate spending authority, and cooperative procurement vehicles are in place to streamline and accelerate the replacement process. Acting within the current planning cycle ensures continuity of operations and avoids costly emergency procurement.
