Emergency Communications & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces fragmented emergency preparedness infrastructure, including an unverified EOP review cycle, disconnected resident alert systems, and gaps in real-time incident communications exposed during recent flooding events. These gaps create operational risk and reduce the City's ability to deliver coordinated, timely response to residents.
The opportunity
Active grant applications through SHSP and FY2027 Operation Lone Star, alongside near-term council actions, create an immediate funding pathway for communications modernization. Advancing this project now aligns with the current budget cycle and directly strengthens public safety outcomes for the community.
FY2027 Operation Lone Star
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance and Password Security Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a dedicated password-security program and faces a hard Texas annual cybersecurity certification deadline of August 31, 2026. Simultaneously, end-of-life server, storage, and network security infrastructure requires replacement, while backup systems managed separately from network security create fragmented IT governance and elevated operational risk.
The opportunity
A firm certification deadline and an imminent September 2026 council meeting to approve IT infrastructure replacement quotes—immediately preceding final budget adoption—create a narrow, time-sensitive window. Acting now aligns remediation with active FY2026–2027 budget planning, supports state compliance, and reduces exposure from fragmented, aging infrastructure.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City's server, storage, network security, video surveillance, and LPR camera systems are end-of-life, operating in a fragmented environment with separately managed backup and security tools. This aging infrastructure elevates operational risk and complicates compliance with Texas annual cybersecurity certification requirements due August 31, 2026.
The opportunity
A full infrastructure replacement quote (~$73,000) is on the September 8, 2026 council agenda immediately ahead of FY2026–2027 budget adoption, creating a defined, near-term procurement window. Acting now aligns with cooperative purchasing eligibility and positions the City to consolidate fragmented systems before the new fiscal year.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Consolidation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City operates separate fleet tracking and camera systems, creating evidence and claims-defense gaps with no integrated telematics solution. With $87,181 in annual vehicle and equipment insurance premiums and heavy-equipment safety risks, the fragmented ecosystem elevates operational liability and cost exposure.
The opportunity
An approved truck camera purchase and active fleet modernization signal near-term procurement readiness, while the FY2027 Operation Lone Star grant—pending council submission—offers a funded pathway to consolidate systems. Acting within the current grant window reduces risk, improves claims defense, and aligns with the FY2026–2027 budget cycle.
FY2027 Operation Lone Star
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Compliance for Public Digital Portals
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across its public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. With a 2028 compliance deadline and ongoing organizational transitions, this is an active obligation requiring structured remediation planning now.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions and potential service consolidation create a timely window to embed accessibility improvements into broader digital infrastructure decisions. Proactive remediation reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with upcoming fiscal planning cycles.
Video Surveillance & LPR Infrastructure Modernization
Public Safety · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The City's current video surveillance and license plate recognition systems operate within a fragmented, end-of-life IT infrastructure where network and security components are managed separately, creating coverage gaps and operational risk. Consolidating these systems is an active line item in a pending council procurement, signaling both urgency and institutional readiness.
The opportunity
A funded procurement totaling approximately $73,000 is scheduled for council approval in September 2026, with final budget adoption to follow immediately — representing a near-term, greenfield opportunity with no identified competing solutions. Acting within this window ensures continuity of public safety coverage and alignment with the City's FY 2026–2027 infrastructure investment cycle.
