Strengthen Emergency Preparedness & Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a verified Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a reliable mass notification system — gaps made more urgent by a recent county-level fire-weather disaster declaration. Fragmented alert systems and an unfunded hazard mitigation plan leave residents and staff exposed to compounding operational and safety risks.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle includes $95,500 earmarked for emergency management and public safety technology, creating a near-term funding window aligned with active hazard mitigation planning. Addressing these gaps now supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage cooperative procurement pathways that reduce administrative burden.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates two overlapping alert systems in parallel—an aging third-party emergency notification service and a redundant capability within its existing web platform—creating fragmentation that undermines reliability and reach during critical incidents. This gap is compounded by the absence of a current Emergency Operations Plan and no dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, elevating public safety risk.
The opportunity
With $95,500 earmarked in the public safety tech budget and the FY2026–2027 budget currently under council review, there is an active decision window to consolidate notification infrastructure. Incoming city leadership signals openness to modernization, and consolidation now reduces redundant costs, strengthens community alerting, and aligns with the county's updated Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an overdue Texas cybersecurity training and certification mandate with a hard deadline of August 31, 2026, and an identified gap in password management practices. Without immediate action, the city risks regulatory penalties, operational vulnerability, and exposure of public systems and data.
The opportunity
The FY2026-2027 IT budget includes increased funding, creating a near-term window to address both the compliance mandate and credential security gap before the August 2026 deadline. Acting now reduces regulatory and operational risk while aligning expenditures with an already-approved budget cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active initiative to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance for its public-facing website and digital documents, with a federal deadline of April 26, 2028. Failure to meet this mandate creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline supports a phased approach, and the FY2026–2027 budget cycle—currently under review with increased IT department funding—presents a near-term window to initiate planning and implementation. Early action reduces remediation costs, distributes effort across fiscal cycles, and ensures uninterrupted public access to city services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics and Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented dash-camera and telematics coverage across its fleet, creating an evidence and driver-monitoring gap. Automobile liability rates have risen 20% for FY2026-2027—with department-level increases exceeding 50%—while fragmented tracking relationships across multiple vendors signal an underperforming fleet management posture.
The opportunity
A funded fleet modernization initiative is already a top FY2026-2027 strategic priority, providing a direct budget-aligned entry point. Consolidating to a unified telematics and driver-monitoring solution now can reduce insurance exposure, strengthen operational accountability, and align with the current budget review window.

Discuss this project →Centralize IT Endpoint Visibility and Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city invests $288,000 annually in IT and software across departments, yet lacks centralized endpoint visibility to support growing infrastructure demands. A transitional leadership environment and expanding technology footprint across public safety, fleet, and emergency management elevate operational and security risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 IT budget increase and department-wide spending expansions are currently under council review, creating a near-term procurement window. Consolidating endpoint management now supports incoming leadership priorities, strengthens cybersecurity posture, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle.
