Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's Emergency Operations Plan is of unknown age despite a stated compliance posture, and the current mass notification system's opt-in model leaves measurable coverage gaps. Recent flash flooding events have exposed these limitations, elevating operational and public safety risk during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A 39.7% increase in emergency management funding and an active $1M flood siren grant signal strong investment momentum ahead of the FY2027 budget hearing. Addressing platform and EOP gaps now aligns with new leadership priorities, active grant cycles, and cooperative procurement pathways that reduce cost and procurement complexity.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization

About this project
The City faces active compliance mandates around password security and cybersecurity training, with the annual training deadline already passed and no confirmed endpoint protection or security monitoring in place. A submitted $75k capital request for server upgrades and a 25.4% increase in police software maintenance spending signal growing infrastructure demand and unmitigated operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026 is an immediate decision window for IT investment. The BJA FY2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program represents a potential federal funding pathway, and existing cooperative procurement memberships support streamlined acquisition. Acting now closes compliance gaps and reduces exposure before the next audit cycle.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a firm April 2028 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing digital portals and documents. Current gaps expose the City to legal liability and restrict equitable resident access to essential government services.
The opportunity
With roughly two years until the compliance deadline, the upcoming FY2027 budget cycle is the critical window to fund a staged remediation plan by risk severity. Acting now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and allows for structured procurement through established cooperative agreements.

Fleet Management · Public Asset Accountability
High Priority
About this project
The City faces documented fleet maintenance and downtime challenges, and an audit identified a material weakness in capital asset controls across multiple departments. Active vehicle procurements in Police, Electric, Tourism, and Water create immediate gaps in telematics, driver behavior monitoring, and incident documentation coverage.
The opportunity
Budget-approved vehicle procurements across departments create funded, near-term entry points for fleet safety technology ahead of the FY2027 budget hearing. Addressing asset control findings now reduces audit exposure, strengthens claims documentation, and supports stewardship of public resources through cooperative purchasing mechanisms already in active use.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has secured a $1 million grant designated for flood siren deployment, driven by recent flash flooding incidents that highlight critical gaps in early warning coverage. The existing mass notification system relies on opt-in participation, leaving residents underserved and exposing the City to operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant funding is already designated and the project is in active procurement, creating a near-term window to deploy infrastructure and address broader alerting gaps. A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator and a 39.7% budget increase signal leadership commitment and readiness to expand emergency preparedness investments this fiscal cycle.
