Unify Emergency Management & Mass Notification Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and operates fragmented mass notification systems across two separate platforms. A recent public safety reorganization and new departmental leadership compound operational risk during a critical transition period.
The opportunity
The FY2026-2027 budget adoption in September 2026 creates an immediate decision window, with public safety funding increasing significantly. A pending SAFER grant application and cooperative purchasing programs provide accessible funding pathways to close preparedness gaps and strengthen community resilience now.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The City's citizen-facing web platforms do not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. A compliance deadline and a strategic FY2027 website redesign initiative make closing this gap an operational and regulatory priority.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget adoption in September 2026 creates an immediate planning and procurement window to fund accessibility improvements before the WCAG 2.1 deadline. Acting now aligns with active strategic initiatives, supports equitable public access, and reduces legal and audit risk within the current fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City's current mobile device management environment is fragmented, with a legacy MDM solution in place and a separate endpoint management tool introduced in 2022, creating governance gaps and inconsistent device oversight. The FY2027 IT strategic plan explicitly identifies strengthening mobile device management as a priority, signaling both operational risk and a mandate for consolidation.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget adoption in September 2026 creates an immediate procurement window, and the City's active use of cooperative purchasing programs provides a streamlined, compliant path to acquisition. Consolidating device management now reduces security exposure, supports technology governance goals, and aligns spending with an already-approved IT initiative.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
Texas law mandates cybersecurity training compliance by August 31, 2026, and identified gaps in credential and password management compound the City's regulatory exposure. Failure to meet the deadline creates legal, operational, and reputational risk for staff and residents who depend on secure public systems.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline and the FY2026–2027 budget adoption in September create a narrow, time-sensitive window to act. Cooperative purchasing programs already in use by the City simplify procurement and support a cost-effective path to closing compliance gaps before the fiscal year closes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent police-unit accident and an expanding public-safety fleet—including high-value fire apparatus—have exposed critical gaps in driver monitoring, incident documentation, and GPS-based oversight. The City currently lacks a systematic fleet safety monitoring capability, elevating liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program explicitly permits fleet-safety and telematics equipment, with an October 2026 deadline providing a near-term funding path. FY2026–2027 public safety and capital improvement budgets are increasing, creating a favorable window to advance this investment and close documented safety gaps.
