Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator and likely operates with an outdated Emergency Operations Plan, a gap underscored by a recent disaster declaration. With annual emergency management spending critically low, the city faces significant resource, capability, and compliance risk in its ability to protect residents and coordinate response.
The opportunity
A recent disaster declaration, an active EOP review requirement, and partial state grant funding for emergency radio infrastructure create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps. New Fire and EMS leadership signals readiness for program re-evaluation, and cooperative purchasing programs may streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The city has an identified gap in public safety communications infrastructure, confirmed by a partial SERI grant award and budget amendments approving a communications tower. Partial funding coverage means the full infrastructure need remains unmet, elevating operational risk for emergency responders and the public they serve.
The opportunity
Approved budget amendments and a confirmed partial grant award create an active, time-sensitive funding foundation for completing this infrastructure upgrade. Closing the remaining gap now reduces emergency response risk, supports EOP compliance, and positions the city to leverage cooperative purchasing programs for cost-effective, streamlined procurement.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's BuyBoard fleet contract expires November 30, 2026, creating an urgent procurement deadline alongside recent capital fleet purchases exceeding $400K. High-risk safety incidents and rising liability insurance costs signal a critical need for improved fleet visibility and operational oversight.
The opportunity
Active capital budget allocations and existing cooperative purchasing agreements streamline the path to award before the contract deadline. Addressing fleet safety and visibility now reduces liability exposure, supports responsible stewardship of public funds, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal Title II ADA mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing portals and documents by April 26, 2027. Current digital properties do not meet this standard, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline makes this a near-term, compliance-driven priority with active IT software and technology upgrade budget allocations available to fund remediation. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →IT & Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city has budget-approved initiatives covering server replacement, IT contract renewals, and backup service upgrades, with $208,200 in annual IT and software spend. Recent budget increases in hardware maintenance and technology upgrades signal an active modernization cycle with operational continuity and data security risks if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
Approved budget allocations and an active modernization cycle create a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal calendar. Addressing server infrastructure, managed IT services, and backup resilience now reduces operational risk and positions the city for stronger cybersecurity posture ahead of contract renewals.

Digital Services · Web Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city is advancing website and digital services initiatives—including GIS adoption and resident notification tools—while facing a federal Title II web accessibility mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2027. Failure to meet this deadline exposes the city to legal and compliance risk while limiting equitable access to public services.
The opportunity
Budget-approved digital initiatives and existing GIS infrastructure create a natural window to bundle accessibility remediation with broader modernization efforts ahead of the 2027 compliance deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the city to consolidate spending, reduce remediation costs, and improve digital equity for all residents.
