Reducing Fleet Incidents and Liability Through Telematics
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The City of Amarillo faces escalating fleet-related injuries, auto liability claims between $590K–$737K annually, and an 8.21% insurance premium increase for fire fleet vehicles. Without expanded telematics and safety oversight, operational risk, staff safety, and public liability exposure continue to grow.
The opportunity
Active FY2026/2027 budget planning and an existing fleet technology implementation create a near-term window to expand safety capabilities and reduce long-term liability costs. Broader telematics adoption supports driver accountability, incident reduction, and more responsible stewardship of public funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Coordination and evacuation failures during the May 2026 Stinky Fire exposed critical gaps in emergency preparedness, and the after-action report remains unfinalized. The Emergency Operations Plan's review status is unknown, creating compliance risk tied to NIMS adoption requirements for federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Active FY2026/2027 budget planning, documented incident findings, and a NIMS compliance mandate create a clear, time-sensitive window to remediate gaps. Public safety grants, including SHSP-aligned funding, support preparedness initiatives and can offset local costs while strengthening community resilience and response readiness.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Security Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Missed cybersecurity training deadlines and unresolved PCI non-compliance tied to outdated network infrastructure expose the city and district to regulatory penalties and data risk. Gaps in password management and endpoint security persist despite existing awareness and perimeter tools.
The opportunity
A proposed 37.74% IT Security budget increase for FY2026/2027 and a recent CIO transition create a timely opening to close compliance gaps and modernize security controls. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces audit exposure and strengthens the public trust and data integrity residents depend on.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Amarillo faces PCI non-compliance tied to aging switch infrastructure, alongside unmet needs in desktop refresh, network monitoring, and endpoint management. With over $14.6M in annual IT spend and a CIO vacancy, gaps in governance and operational continuity pose escalating risk to city services and residents.
The opportunity
Proposed FY2026/2027 budget increases across IT Capital, Infrastructure, and Support signal strong near-term funding availability. Acting now during active budget planning and a leadership transition creates a strategic window to shape infrastructure decisions and reduce compliance exposure before the next fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals have ongoing accessibility gaps that remain an active compliance obligation, even as higher-priority IT initiatives compete for attention. Existing content management platforms are in place, but unresolved accessibility deficiencies expose the entity to equity and legal risk.
The opportunity
With active FY2026/2027 budget planning underway and IT spending on the rise, this is a practical window to address accessibility obligations before they escalate into formal findings. Resolving compliance gaps now supports equitable public access and reduces long-term remediation costs.
