Flood Resilience & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Flood Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a current, reviewed Emergency Operations Plan and has faced public criticism following flood events, creating measurable gaps in preparedness and community trust. With over $10 million in FY 2026–2027 flood-related appropriations and a multi-million dollar federal watershed protection grant requiring compliant administration, the operational and fiscal stakes are high.
The opportunity
Approved FY 2026–2027 budget allocations and a secured $4.4 million NRCS grant create an immediate, funded window to close preparedness gaps and strengthen grant compliance. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with appropriated funds and reduces risk to residents, staff, and program continuity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City is mid-transition away from its current mass notification platform, creating a critical window to evaluate and strengthen emergency communication capabilities. Gaps in the existing Emergency Operations Plan, combined with recent flood events and public scrutiny, elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A September 2026 budget decision point and an active platform transition create immediate procurement alignment. With over $10 million in emergency management funding proposed for FY 2026–2027 and a $4.4 million federal watershed recovery grant in place, resources exist to advance resilient, compliant notification infrastructure now.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The City is experiencing frequent fleet vehicle accidents, with documented repair costs exceeding $54,000 and recurring insurance deductibles creating sustained financial strain. An existing fleet safety program is under-deployed, leaving drivers, residents, and public assets exposed to preventable risk.
The opportunity
Fleet safety spending is confirmed in the proposed FY 2026–2027 budget, creating a clear funding pathway for program expansion. Acting within this budget cycle reduces incident-related costs, strengthens driver accountability, and improves stewardship of public vehicles and taxpayer funds.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The City has documented cybersecurity compliance requirements—including multifactor authentication and fraud prevention—driven by Banking Services RFP mandates and an active endpoint security environment. Gaps in credential and access management elevate the risk of unauthorized access, financial fraud, and audit findings across city systems.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved for cybersecurity and fraud prevention controls, and the current fiscal cycle creates a clear window to act before year-end. Addressing credential management now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens public trust, and aligns with existing IT infrastructure investments.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City has active strategic initiatives around IT support and a core financial system upgrade, with budget approved for FY 2026–2027. Fragmented endpoint management and evolving cybersecurity mandates—including multifactor authentication and fraud prevention requirements—create operational and compliance risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
Dedicated IT budget is confirmed for the current fiscal cycle, creating a timely window to consolidate endpoint management and reduce compliance exposure. Addressing this now supports continuity of critical city services, aligns with active cybersecurity mandates, and positions the City ahead of its system upgrade timeline.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 2028, requiring measurable improvements to public-facing digital services. Failure to meet this deadline elevates legal and equity risk, limiting residents' ability to access city services online.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a critical window to fund phased accessibility improvements ahead of the 2028 deadline. Early planning reduces remediation costs, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns investment with existing digital infrastructure already in place.
