Cybersecurity Program Modernization & Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active Texas cybersecurity training mandate, gaps in centralized credential management, and an MFA requirement for network access. A major security contract expires in November 2026, and SOC modernization with vulnerability remediation are approved strategic priorities requiring near-term action.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes significant cybersecurity spending increases, and unallocated ARPA funds may support eligible IT modernization initiatives. The November 2026 contract expiration creates a firm decision window, making this fiscal cycle the critical moment to advance compliance and reduce operational risk.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active fleet management program is in place with existing telemetry services and approved budget, but coverage gaps in vehicle tracking limit preventive maintenance and liability defense. Public scrutiny around camera and AI-based traffic deployments underscores the need for transparent, well-documented safety technology to manage driver behavior and reduce operational risk.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget increases for fleet-related IT support are approved, and unallocated ARPA funds may be eligible for fleet modernization initiatives. Expanding telematics coverage now strengthens risk management, supports the Property and Casualty Fund's oversight needs, and positions the city to demonstrate responsible stewardship of public assets.

Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate with an April 26, 2028 deadline requires remediation of current accessibility gaps across public-facing portals. Non-compliance exposes the city to legal liability and restricts equitable resident access to essential government services.
The opportunity
A budget-approved digital accessibility roadmap and ADA Transition Plan update confirm organizational readiness, and unallocated ARPA funds are eligible to support implementation. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance milestones are met and reduces legal and operational risk.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan exists, mass notification capabilities are unverified, and Emergency Center staffing has declined — while recent flooding, heatwave, and tropical storm declarations expose active operational gaps. Compliance mandates tied to water utilities and grant eligibility requirements further elevate risk for residents and city operations.
The opportunity
Approved grant applications and substantial disaster recovery funding are already in place, signaling strong financial readiness for immediate action. Advancing this project within the current budget cycle strengthens compliance posture, closes critical preparedness gaps, and leverages HEC grant eligibility before funding windows close.

IT Modernization · Systems Consolidation
High Priority
About this project
An active IT service consolidation and moderate executive turnover have created a critical re-evaluation window for existing endpoint and systems management infrastructure. Gaps in unified management—alongside a strong Microsoft 365 and ServiceNow footprint—present integration risks and operational continuity concerns that new leadership is positioned to address.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes proposed increases for IT and data center services, and unallocated ARPA funds remain available for IT modernization initiatives. Acting within this fiscal window allows the city to consolidate systems, reduce operational risk, and align investments with approved strategic priorities.
