Credential & Password Security Management
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a password management platform, creating a measurable compliance gap under Texas cybersecurity incident-reporting requirements and CJIS-related security mandates. The FY2026-27 budget designates cybersecurity as a top-priority strategic initiative, with allocated funds for penetration testing and email security underscoring the urgency to address credential risk citywide.
The opportunity
A September 2026 budget decision window and an incoming IT Director in March 2026 create immediate momentum for a technology review. The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant offers a potential funding path, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Modernization and Endpoint Security
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The FY2026–27 budget reflects a 20.10% increase in IT spending, with approved allocations for network administration and technical infrastructure, signaling an active modernization effort. The citywide cybersecurity improvement program is a top-priority strategic initiative, and the absence of credential and password-security controls creates measurable compliance and operational risk under Texas cybersecurity incident-reporting requirements and CJIS standards.
The opportunity
An incoming IT Director and a September 2026 budget decision window create immediate alignment for advancing funded cybersecurity and infrastructure priorities. The BJA FY2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant supports law-enforcement IT and cybersecurity improvements, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to accelerate procurement timelines.

Discuss this project →Emergency Communications & Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented split ecosystem with separate platforms for public alerting and internal communications, creating notification gaps and operational inefficiencies. A recent severe weather incident and a moderate emergency preparedness gap—compounded by reliance on regional rather than dedicated city personnel—elevate response risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Emergency Management spending is budgeted to increase 17.02% in FY2026-27, with $165,000 dedicated to public safety technology, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a fast-track procurement path. Incoming Public Safety leadership creates a timely window to unify disparate systems, strengthen notification reliability, and align with strategic preparedness initiatives already approved in the budget.

Discuss this project →Fleet Modernization & Telematics Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city has a budget-approved, top-priority initiative to replace aging vehicles and modernize its fleet, with identified risks around emergency-driving exposure and fleet liability. Telematics, GPS tracking, and driver-risk monitoring have been flagged as tools to reduce operational risk, alongside a dedicated budget for police fleet key management.
The opportunity
A September 2026 budget decision window creates a near-term procurement opportunity for fully funded fleet modernization. Cooperative purchasing agreements streamline acquisition, and existing GIS infrastructure supports integrated fleet management—enabling faster deployment and stronger public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federally mandated WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline of April 2028, requiring accessibility improvements across public-facing digital portals and documents. Gaps in document accessibility and fragmented workflow tools elevate the risk of non-compliance and unequal access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline supports a phased implementation approach within current and upcoming fiscal cycles, reducing cost pressure and procurement risk. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining vendor selection and enabling timely action before remediation complexity and costs increase.
