Emergency Operations Plan Review & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review, NIMS compliance requirements are unmet, and recent turnover in the Fire Marshal/Emergency Management Coordinator role has created a critical preparedness gap. The performance of the existing mass notification system is unverified, compounding operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and upcoming appropriations hearings create a timely window to secure funding for EOP modernization. Addressing this gap now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage available emergency management funding pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification platform has unverified performance, creating reliability risk for resident and staff communications during emergencies. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review and recent turnover in the Emergency Management Coordinator role, the city faces compounding compliance and operational exposure.
The opportunity
An active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and ongoing EOP modernization initiative create a natural window to evaluate and consolidate emergency communications capabilities. Addressing this now reduces compliance risk under NIMS requirements, strengthens public safety outcomes, and aligns with available cooperative purchasing pathways for streamlined procurement.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals must meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards by 2028, creating a defined compliance deadline with meaningful risk for residents who rely on accessible online services. Existing document accessibility gaps compound the mandate, and audit findings signal broader pressure to modernize public-facing systems.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a near-term window to fund accessibility remediation before costs and risk escalate closer to the 2028 deadline. Addressing compliance now supports equitable public access, reduces legal exposure, and aligns with current budget planning timelines.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recent audit identified material weaknesses in accounting systems and broader IT deficiencies, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. Budget-approved initiatives in cybersecurity and IT services signal active need for endpoint management and credential security improvements to protect city operations and public data.
The opportunity
BJA FY 2026 grant funding is explicitly aligned with cybersecurity and IT management, and the city's active budget cycle includes $328,000 in approved software and IT services spend. Leadership transitions and audit findings elevate urgency, making this an optimal window to remediate risk and advance modernization goals.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Asset Oversight Modernization
Fleet Management · Asset Accountability
High Priority
About this project
A hailstorm damaged more than 30 city vehicles, triggering a $345,722 insurance recovery and exposing critical gaps in fleet asset tracking and incident documentation. With no telematics platform currently in place, the city lacks the oversight tools needed to prevent future losses and demonstrate accountability to residents and auditors.
The opportunity
A budget-approved fleet lifecycle modernization initiative signals near-term procurement readiness, and the active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle creates a timely window for new allocations. Implementing preventive asset management tools now reduces insurance exposure, strengthens operational accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Public Safety Camera Infrastructure Deployment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has a budget-approved initiative to deploy camera infrastructure for situational awareness and crime deterrence as part of a broader public safety modernization effort. Gaps in surveillance coverage and Emergency Operations Plan compliance—including overdue EOP review and NIMS requirements—elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and established cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path. Acting now aligns with strategic plan priorities, supports EM plan compliance mandates, and positions the city to leverage available public safety grant funding.
