Endpoint Management & Cybersecurity Compliance Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces overdue compliance mandates for endpoint management and covered-applications policy, both with deadlines that passed in late 2024, creating active remediation pressure. Ongoing IT investments—including managed services, firewall, threat management, and disaster recovery—signal recognized gaps but lack unified endpoint and access controls to meet policy requirements.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget decision window (September 3–8, 2026) and an established annual IT spend of over $409,000 provide a near-term, funded path to close compliance gaps. Federal grants (EMPG and HSGP) explicitly identify cybersecurity enhancement and endpoint protection as eligible technology, offering additional cost-sharing potential.
Disaster Recovery & Backup Modernization
IT Modernization · Business Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The City has an identified and funded strategic initiative to address gaps in disaster recovery and data backup, with urgency elevated by active ERP and system migrations across financial, CRM, and accounts receivable platforms. Without modernized recovery capabilities, these transitions increase exposure to data loss, service disruption, and operational downtime affecting residents and staff.
The opportunity
This initiative is already funded and entering a near-term procurement window, with the FY 2026–2027 budget decision cycle providing a clear action deadline. Federal grant programs eligible for cybersecurity infrastructure offer additional funding pathways, reducing local cost burden while strengthening long-term data resilience.
Enterprise System Migration Security and Workflow Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City is concurrently migrating its Financial, CRM, and Accounts Receivable systems, introducing elevated security requirements, workflow complexity, and integration risk during transition. Compliance mandates for endpoint management and covered-application policies add urgency to ensuring these migrations are completed with proper controls in place.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and existing IT spend of $409,101 signal available funding, and cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use can accelerate procurement. Addressing security and workflow needs now—during active migration—reduces transition risk and positions the City for a more resilient, compliant operational environment.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified EOP, documented coverage limitations in its county-managed alert system, and a fragmented mass notification setup split between county and city systems. This fragmentation creates measurable NIMS compliance risk and delays life-safety communications during active incidents.
The opportunity
Federal EMPG and HSGP grant programs for FY2026 explicitly list emergency communications as eligible technology, offering a direct funding path with limited local match required. The City's FY2026–2027 budget decision window closes in early September 2026, making immediate action essential to align funding and remediate compliance gaps.
Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Vehicle Safety
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following a total police vehicle loss in April 2024 and documented utility fleet failures, the City lacks telematics and dash camera coverage despite operating an enterprise fleet management platform. This gap leaves the City exposed to unmonitored safety incidents, elevated liability, and limited data to support risk mitigation or insurance claims.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and an active Operation Lone Star grant application for police technology create a timely funding pathway for fleet safety improvements. Acting now aligns with the City's internal safety review, supports officer and public safety outcomes, and leverages cooperative purchasing agreements to streamline procurement.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, for all public-facing web portals, alongside broader digital service delivery gaps including end-of-life public safety video systems. Failure to remediate risks ADA-related liability, reduced resident access to services, and audit exposure.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a near-term window to fund phased remediation before the 2028 deadline, and existing cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement. Acting now allows the City to sequence improvements cost-effectively while meeting compliance and improving equitable access to public services.
