Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City currently lacks an approved Emergency Operations Plan, has not conducted required HSEEP exercises, and faces recurring coastal flooding risk — creating significant NIMS compliance exposure. Fragmented public alerting and utility notification systems further compound the operational gap, leaving residents and staff underserved during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2026-2027 budget formally establishes a City Grant Fund with dedicated public safety allocations, and the final adoption window creates an immediate funding pathway. New executive leadership and documented preparedness gaps make this the right moment to advance compliance, consolidate alerting capabilities, and strengthen community resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City operates fragmented mass notification systems with separate alerting and utility alert platforms, creating inconsistent public warning capabilities and critical integration gaps. Overdue EOP reviews, NIMS compliance requirements, and recurring coastal flooding incidents elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget is in its final adoption window, with confirmed public safety grant funding and an established City Grant Fund supporting emergency communications investment. Consolidating now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens disaster response, and aligns with active emergency management strategic initiatives.
Public Safety Grants
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Modernization and IT Infrastructure Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City is modernizing its IT environment through unified identity and access management, endpoint protection, email security, and data backups aligned to NIST CSF 2.0. Integration requirements with existing ERP and productivity platforms add complexity, and gaps in these areas elevate operational and data security risk for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget adoption window closes around September 16, 2026, with grant-funded line items for email security and backups already authorized. Acting within this cycle ensures access to confirmed funding and supports a new IT Specialist role positioned to sustain long-term security operations.
City Grant Fund
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks documented fleet telematics and dash-camera coverage despite a recently totaled patrol vehicle, high projected breakdown rates, and active vehicle acquisitions underway. Without monitoring tools, the municipal fleet faces compounding safety, liability, and operational efficiency risks.
The opportunity
Fleet equipment spending is authorized in the FY2026–2027 budget with the adoption window closing around September 16, 2026, creating an immediate action window. A conditional grant pathway may offset bus-fleet equipment costs, reducing local burden while advancing driver safety and fleet accountability.
Low-No Program
Discuss this project →Modernize Citizen-Facing Digital Services Portal
Digital Services · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City's legacy website platform and fragmented digital services ecosystem limit accessible, efficient service delivery to residents. Disjointed public records and citizen-facing tools create integration gaps and position the City behind emerging web accessibility compliance requirements.
The opportunity
With WCAG accessibility mandates taking effect in 2028, phased implementation begun now reduces compliance risk and distributes costs across upcoming fiscal cycles. Active digital modernization planning and an established City Grant Fund create a timely pathway to fund improvements with available resources.
Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation Planning
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City's public-facing web properties must meet WCAG compliance standards by 2028, creating a defined regulatory deadline within the current planning horizon. Proactive scoping now reduces the risk of costly last-minute remediation and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
The opportunity
Beginning remediation planning during the current fiscal cycle allows the City to align accessibility work with its broader digital services modernization effort, improving cost efficiency. The upcoming FY budget window and cooperative purchasing agreements support streamlined procurement and phased implementation.
