Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, a flood-warning system, and has unconfirmed emergency notification capabilities — gaps that elevate operational and compliance risk. A county-level coordination mandate adds external accountability pressure, making remediation an immediate municipal priority.
The opportunity
A new City Manager taking office in early 2026 creates a leadership window for resetting preparedness priorities, supported by over $318,000 already allocated to emergency management and public safety technology. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to close critical gaps, meet coordination mandates, and strengthen community resilience.
Consolidate Mass Notification for Reliable Emergency Alerts
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates fragmented emergency notification platforms with an unresolved secondary system, creating reliability gaps during critical events. This fragmentation undermines coordinated response, particularly given an active mandate to align emergency communications with county-level operations.
The opportunity
A new City Manager and active budget cycle create a favorable window to consolidate platforms, reduce redundancy, and strengthen public safety outcomes. With over $318,000 already allocated to emergency management technology, funding alignment and leadership appetite for modernization are both present.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a firm April 26, 2027 deadline, and its current public-facing website does not meet federal accessibility standards. Failure to comply creates legal liability and limits equitable access to city services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
A dedicated $50,000 website update budget is already allocated, removing a common procurement barrier and enabling action within the current planning cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal exposure, advances digital equity, and positions the city ahead of the non-negotiable federal deadline.
Cybersecurity & Password Security Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A 2023 ransomware incident exposed critical gaps in the city's cybersecurity posture, particularly around password security and access controls. Without formalized security controls, the city remains vulnerable to repeat incidents, data loss, and compliance risk under evolving state and federal cybersecurity expectations.
The opportunity
A dedicated $100,000 Computer Support budget increase and newly formalized IT leadership create a strategic window to establish a security improvement roadmap this fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces operational and liability risk while aligning with the incoming administration's technology priorities.
Public Works Fleet Modernization & Telematics Integration
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city has allocated $343,000 in capital outlay for fleet equipment as part of an active Public Works Fleet Modernization initiative. Without telematics integration, the city lacks visibility into fleet utilization, maintenance cycles, and operational efficiency, limiting the return on this capital investment.
The opportunity
Dedicated capital funding is already budgeted, creating a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. A state contract vehicle may offer a compliant procurement pathway, enabling the city to move quickly and maximize the value of allocated public funds.
