Emergency Dispatch & Preparedness Gap Resolution
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces compounding emergency preparedness gaps: an unconfirmed EOP, an expiring Hazard Mitigation Plan, coordination failures surfaced in a recent active-shooter exercise, and a dispatch agreement with Hood County expiring in September 2026. An unresolved NIMS adoption mandate and $197,000 in allocated public safety technology funding underscore the operational and compliance urgency.
The opportunity
The September 2026 dispatch contract expiration creates a hard deadline, and the FY 2026–2027 budget explicitly prioritizes public safety with direct funding available. Acting now ensures continuity of emergency services, closes compliance gaps, and positions the city to steward allocated public safety funds before the fiscal window closes.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a hard August 31, 2026 deadline to implement credential management and password security controls, with outsourced IT support and active ERP and public safety software upgrades compounding exposure. Failure to meet this mandate elevates operational and cybersecurity risk across municipal systems serving staff and residents.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline makes this a time-critical priority within the current fiscal cycle. Federal justice assistance grant funding offers a viable secondary funding path, and the city's established IT budget supports near-term action to reduce risk and meet mandated security controls.

Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city's municipal fleet lacks dash cameras, telematics, and driver safety monitoring, with multiple documented accidents and insurance claims elevating liability and safety risk. An ongoing fuel management system upgrade and outsourced fleet operations signal readiness for broader fleet technology investment.
The opportunity
The adopted FY 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated Fleet Replacement Fund allocations and a 12% rise in fuel costs, creating an immediate, funded window to act. New interim Public Works leadership and cooperative purchasing relationships further support a streamlined procurement path this fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · ADA/Section 508 Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gap across its public-facing web properties, leaving residents at risk of unequal access to government services. A fragmented digital services landscape and an insufficient existing tool have left this gap unresolved, elevating legal and reputational exposure under ongoing ADA and Section 508 enforcement trends.
The opportunity
Persistent non-compliance creates time-sensitive legal risk as federal accessibility enforcement activity continues to increase. Addressing this gap now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, supports equitable public service delivery, and may be eligible for state or federal digital equity funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity & Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's reliance on outsourced IT support, combined with active ERP and public safety software upgrades, creates gaps in centralized endpoint visibility and credential management. A credential compliance mandate with an August 2026 deadline elevates cybersecurity risk across municipal operations and public safety systems.
The opportunity
The city's confirmed $333,000 annual IT budget and active procurement cycle create a timely window to address endpoint and credential security gaps. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers a viable funding path for criminal justice information systems and technology improvements, reducing local cost burden.
