Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a split mass-notification ecosystem — one platform citywide and another countywide — creating coordination friction and response delays during emergencies. Water system regulatory exposure further demands reliable public notification, and these gaps present measurable compliance and operational risk despite an updated EOP.
The opportunity
FY2026 grant programs aligned with emergency communications and homeland security present near-term funding pathways with limited local match requirements. A new City Manager and active capital investments in public safety infrastructure create a favorable window to consolidate systems and reduce risk before the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Compliance & Readiness
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a centralized system for managing and auditing Emergency Operations Plan documentation, creating compliance and operational readiness risks. A split mass-notification ecosystem and active regulatory exposure compound the urgency of establishing unified EOP document control before the next compliance review cycle.
The opportunity
Active EOP compliance mandates, a new City Manager prioritizing process modernization, and aligned grant programs—including HSGP and COPS TEP—create a timely funding and leadership window. Addressing document control gaps now reduces audit risk, strengthens emergency readiness, and positions the city to leverage available federal and state funding pathways.
FY2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city recorded 15 police vehicle collisions in 2025 and 16 in 2024, with internal reviews citing out-of-policy pursuits and officer-at-fault incidents. Operating under a self-insurance model, the city faces mounting financial and reputational liability without real-time driver monitoring or telematics oversight.
The opportunity
FY2026 COPS TEP and Edward Byrne JAG grants are identified fits for fleet telematics, with upcoming deadlines creating near-term funding urgency. Acting within the current grant window reduces self-insurance exposure, supports policy enforcement, and strengthens public accountability for fleet operations.
FY2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG/Section 508 Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively working to bring public-facing digital properties into compliance with WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 standards, with partial tooling already in place. Gaps remain—particularly around document accessibility—leaving the city exposed to legal risk and limiting equitable access to public services.
The opportunity
Section 508 and WCAG compliance mandates carry inherent legal and reputational urgency, making inaction increasingly costly. Expanding or supplementing current accessibility efforts now aligns with the city's active strategic initiative and supports equitable, inclusive access for all residents.
Cybersecurity Modernization & Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has made progress on cybersecurity with active credential policies and a recently adopted MFA solution, but gaps remain in dedicated password and endpoint management. Policy 805 identifies cybersecurity modernization as a strategic priority, and unaddressed gaps elevate operational and compliance risk across city systems.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) explicitly supports cybersecurity investments, offering a viable funding pathway aligned with the current grant cycle. With no incumbent solutions in place for endpoint or password management, the city can act decisively this fiscal cycle to close critical gaps and strengthen its security posture.
Outdoor Warning Siren Activation and Public Alert Infrastructure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has an actively planned Outdoor Warning Siren Activation Project tied to its capital improvement program, complementing broader public notification infrastructure needs. Gaps in coordinated outdoor alerting create operational risk for residents during time-sensitive emergencies, particularly given existing fragmentation in the mass notification ecosystem.
The opportunity
This project carries explicit capital budget alignment and is supported by emergency management grant programs, with FY27 funding approval signaling near-term procurement readiness. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to close public safety gaps, strengthen compliance posture, and maximize available grant funding with limited local match exposure.
