Emergency Management Program Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Management Coordinator position is vacant, the currency of the existing Emergency Operations Plan is unverifiable, and the city operates a split emergency communications ecosystem with potential mass notification coverage gaps. An ongoing compliance mandate and unresolved preparedness gaps elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A $685k FY 2026-27 budget allocation for emergency communications and a pending HSGP grant award create a funded, near-term decision window ahead of the September 15 budget adoption. Acting now—before a new coordinator is onboarded—positions the city to close preparedness gaps and meet compliance obligations with available resources.
Fleet Driver Safety Program Formalization and Telematics Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following a media-covered patrol-vehicle accident in April 2025, the city operates a telematics system tracking 330 assets but lacks a formal driver-safety program to act on that data. Without structured policies and safety analytics, the city faces continued liability exposure and reputational risk tied to fleet operations.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes a $2.8M fleet replacement allocation, creating a timely capital window to formalize safety programming alongside vehicle investment. With budget adoption targeted for September 15, 2026, acting now ensures safety infrastructure is built into procurement decisions before funding is committed.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates, including a recently passed Texas cybersecurity-training certification deadline, alongside aging password management tools that signal gaps in current security posture. A newly appointed Director of Innovation and Technology and a dedicated IT modernization initiative underscore the urgency to address these risks before they escalate operationally or regulatorily.
The opportunity
A $600k FY 2026-27 IT modernization allocation and an open JAG grant deadline in October 2026 create a near-term, funded pathway to close compliance and security gaps. Acting within this fiscal window aligns procurement planning with available resources and reduces exposure for city staff, systems, and residents.
Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with an existing CMS in place but potential gaps in document-level accessibility. Unresolved gaps expose the city to legal and compliance risk while limiting equitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline provides a defined window to stage remediation by risk severity before enforcement pressure increases. Existing IT modernization budget allocations may support accessibility improvements, enabling the city to advance compliance without requiring a dedicated new funding line.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The FY 2026–27 budget explicitly allocates $800K for a Real-Time Crime Center, signaling a committed investment in integrated surveillance, data aggregation, and analytical infrastructure. Delays in implementation elevate public safety risk and may jeopardize alignment with broader IT modernization and cybersecurity strategic goals.
The opportunity
With budget adoption set for September 15, 2026, and JAG grant funding potentially available through October 2026 for eligible public safety technology, the window to act is immediate. Advancing this project now maximizes available funding, strengthens community safety outcomes, and positions the initiative within the current fiscal cycle.
