Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, voluntary-only mass notification enrollment, and a fragmented alert ecosystem split between a legacy platform and regional 9-1-1 — undermining reliable public warning coverage. Vendor continuity concerns with the current notification platform, following a cybersecurity incident, further elevate operational and resident safety risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated grant funding — including a $2.45M USDA award tied to a new Public Safety Building and an active $108K Operation Stonegarden grant — provides immediate budget backing, while a leadership transition creates a timely window to re-evaluate and consolidate the notification ecosystem. Acting now closes critical coverage gaps, advances FEMA grant eligibility, and anchors the City's broader public safety investment.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · Credential & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The City's most urgent technology need is achieving annual cybersecurity compliance through stronger auditing and monitoring of employee and privileged credentials, with fragmented endpoint infrastructure compounding risk. A Texas state-mandated cybersecurity training deadline of August 31, 2026 adds direct regulatory pressure requiring near-term action.
The opportunity
A BJA FY 2026 JAG direct allocation of $11,549 is explicitly eligible for cybersecurity improvements, and the upcoming fiscal cycle aligns with procurement action. With a Cybersecurity Technician position approved and a cooperative contract pathway available, the City is positioned to advance compliance and reduce credential risk before the state mandate deadline.

Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint & IT Operations Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City's IT environment relies on multiple siloed endpoint security tools with no unified management platform, creating visibility gaps and operational risk. The recent approval of a Cybersecurity Technician position signals growing internal capacity needs and highlights the urgency of consolidating fragmented security investments under a cohesive management framework.
The opportunity
A confirmed IT security budget line item and cooperative purchasing availability simplify procurement during the current fiscal cycle. Acting now aligns with the Texas annual cybersecurity compliance mandate and positions the City to reduce operational risk as new IT leadership capacity comes online.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a federal web accessibility compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with no comprehensive solution currently in place. Fragmented tool purchases fall short of full compliance, while active digital transformation initiatives—including a citizen engagement app—heighten the urgency for a unified, accessible approach to resident services.
The opportunity
The defined 2028 federal deadline creates a clear planning window, and digital transformation efforts already underway offer a natural integration point for compliance investment. Acting now reduces legal and reputational exposure while aligning with cooperative purchasing pathways that can streamline procurement and accelerate delivery.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has experienced recent vehicle damage incidents with no dash-camera or telematics system in place, creating a documented monitoring and evidence gap. This absence elevates operational liability and risk management exposure for the City's fleet and the public it serves.
The opportunity
With no incumbent solution in place, this is an open evaluation aligned to the City's expansionary budget posture and existing cooperative purchasing agreements that streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure and establishes a defensible record for fleet operations.
