Emergency Operations Plan Development and Preparedness Gap Closure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and currently relies on county-level outsourcing for emergency management, with no evidence of a mass notification system in place. Active procurement of Disaster Recovery and Disaster Monitoring Services signals critical operational gaps that elevate risk to residents and continuity of government functions.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget is actively being adopted with awarded FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant funding already tied to emergency management initiatives, creating an immediate, funded window for action. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with grant compliance requirements, reduces operational liability, and positions the city for a structured, locally-owned emergency management program.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a mass notification system, creating a critical gap in its ability to alert residents and staff during emergencies or disasters. With emergency management outsourced to the county and no confirmed Emergency Operations Plan, the city faces elevated operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Awarded FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant funding and an active FY2027 budget cycle create a near-term window to close this preparedness gap. Acting now aligns capital investment with available grant dollars, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens the city's independent emergency response capacity.

Emergency Management · Disaster Recovery
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively procuring Disaster Recovery and Disaster Monitoring Services, with contracts pending approval to address critical continuity gaps including a Safe Room and City Hall Generator. Outsourced emergency management, no confirmed EOP, and no mass notification system elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Awarded FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds are directly tied to these initiatives, and the active FY2027 budget cycle makes this a time-sensitive procurement decision. Acting now ensures grant compliance, closes preparedness gaps, and delivers funded continuity infrastructure before the current award window closes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces compliance-driven gaps in cybersecurity and password management, compounded by reliance on third-party providers for core IT services including Microsoft 365. Without modernized controls, the city's systems, staff credentials, and resident data remain exposed to preventable risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes approved increases in IT software and hardware maintenance, creating a funded path for action this cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating time to compliance.

Discuss this project →Fleet Vehicle Modernization and Risk Management
Fleet Management · Public Works
High Priority
About this project
The city has budget-approved initiatives for fleet vehicle leasing and acquisition, alongside a 9.52% rise in insurance costs signaling elevated fleet risk exposure. An existing fleet management solution is in place and requires evaluation before any transition or modernization effort proceeds.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget adoption creates a near-term window to align fleet investments with risk reduction and operational efficiency goals. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to simplify procurement and maximize stewardship of public funds.
