Emergency Operations Plan & FEMA NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan exists, and FEMA NIMS compliance requires annual EOP review — a mandate currently unmet. A prior county-wide mass notification outage caused by cyberattack highlights the operational and public safety risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026/27 public-safety budget cycle — including a 7.32% Fire Department increase — provides a clear funding window, with federal grants (HSGP, EMPG) available to offset local costs. Addressing EOP gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.
Strengthen Citywide Emergency Alert Resilience
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented county-wide mass notification outage caused by a cyberattack has exposed critical reliability and resilience gaps in the city's emergency alerting infrastructure. With no confirmed current Emergency Operations Plan and FEMA NIMS compliance mandates in place, the risk to public safety and operational continuity is significant.
The opportunity
The FY 2026/27 public safety budget cycle is active, with a 7.32% Fire Department increase already approved and federal grants (HSGP, EMPG) available to offset costs. Acting now closes a documented preparedness gap, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with annual EOP review requirements before the next compliance window.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization for Public Works
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has documented fleet-involved accidents and an aging apparatus fleet with no confirmed dash cameras or continuous telematics in place, creating measurable safety and liability gaps. A front-line fire engine purchase is budget-approved and a fleet lifecycle review is underway, making this a critical window to establish real-time visibility and accountability across public safety vehicles.
The opportunity
The FY 2026/27 public safety budget cycle — including a capital-approved fire engine acquisition — creates an immediate, funded entry point for telematics modernization. Acting now enables the city to reduce accident liability, strengthen fleet oversight, and leverage cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement within the current fiscal window.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An active citywide program to bring websites and digital documents into conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards faces a defined 2028 regulatory deadline. Gaps in accessible public-facing content create legal exposure and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance deadline creates a clear planning window, and the initiative is already budget-approved within the current strategic cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles are in place, reducing administrative burden and accelerating the path to full conformance.

Discuss this project →Citywide IT Hardware & Software Capital Refresh
IT Modernization · Capital Planning
High Priority
About this project
The city has approved a FY 2026/27 capital refresh covering computer equipment and hardware upgrades, with the IT Department receiving an increased budget allocation. Aging infrastructure and active procurement activity signal operational readiness gaps that, if unaddressed, risk service continuity and staff productivity across departments.
The opportunity
Budget is approved and the purchasing window is open now, with total annual IT and software spend exceeding $1.2 million supporting investment at scale. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed, enabling a streamlined procurement path that reduces administrative burden and accelerates deployment within the current fiscal cycle.
