Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in mass-notification targeting, flood early-warning infrastructure, and a current Emergency Management Plan leave the community exposed to escalating weather risks and jeopardize eligibility for state grant funding tied to NIMS compliance. The construction of a new Public Safety Facility with emergency operations and future dispatch capability makes closing these gaps operationally urgent.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget adoption in September 2026 represents a near-term decision window, with fire department funding already proposed for increase and strategic initiatives—including a regional flood-resilience program—confirmed as funded. Acting within this cycle strengthens NIMS compliance, preserves state grant eligibility, and positions the community ahead of the next severe weather season.

Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The department currently relies on policy-based passwords without a dedicated management platform, and annual cybersecurity reporting is overdue or unverified. CJIS control requirements and documented interest in MFA and privileged access management signal elevated compliance and operational risk that must be addressed.
The opportunity
A $75,400 technology replacement allocation in the proposed FY2027 budget provides a direct funding pathway, with budget adoption expected in September 2026 as the near-term decision window. Acting within this fiscal cycle addresses overdue compliance mandates, reduces credential-based risk, and strengthens the department's cybersecurity posture ahead of audit exposure.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, and the current CMS platform may require expansion, renewal, or replacement to achieve compliance. Failure to act creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
A $40,000 website redesign budget is already allocated, and the April 2028 WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates a defined compliance window. Engaging now enables a phased, structured approach that reduces legal risk and ensures uninterrupted public access ahead of the mandate.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented driver qualification and impairment-control incident involving a department vehicle has drawn public scrutiny and exposed accountability gaps. With no dash cameras or telematics currently deployed, the department lacks visibility into driver behavior, creating measurable operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
A proposed FY27 Fire Department budget increase of 6.6%, combined with a funded equipment modernization initiative, creates a near-term funding pathway ahead of the September 2026 budget adoption. Acting now addresses an active public safety risk and strengthens driver accountability before the next fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →IT Service Management & Helpdesk Optimization
IT Modernization · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
Current IT support workflows are generating extended ticket wait times, signaling a gap in service management infrastructure with no named platform in place. Without structured helpdesk tooling, staff productivity and service continuity are at risk across municipal operations.
The opportunity
Leadership has formally identified this as a strategic priority, and a $75,400 technology replacement allocation within the FY2027 budget provides a direct funding pathway. The September 2026 budget adoption cycle creates a near-term decision window to advance this initiative and measurably improve IT service delivery.

Discuss this project →Public Safety Facility Construction & Technology Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The department is advancing construction of Fire Station #4, incorporating expanded fire coverage, an emergency operations space, and future dispatch capability. Technology requirements across communications, dispatch, and emergency operations infrastructure must be defined early to avoid costly redesigns and ensure operational readiness.
The opportunity
With the project budget approved and FY2027 planning underway, the design and planning phase is the critical window to align technology requirements before procurement decisions are finalized. Early action ensures interoperability, supports emergency preparedness compliance, and maximizes the impact of allocated capital funds.
