Mass Notification & Emergency Alerting System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces documented emergency alerting gaps, including public criticism over the absence of wireless emergency alerts during a water contamination incident, an outdated or missing Emergency Operations Plan, and no EMPG award on record — elevating both operational and reputational risk to residents.
The opportunity
An August 2026 contract renewal deadline and a September 2026 budget hearing compress the decision window, while FY27's $78.5M public safety bond allocation and $5.8M IT capital increase provide strong funding capacity to modernize alerting infrastructure now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's EOC infrastructure is outdated, and an absent or incomplete Emergency Operations Plan compounds coordination risk during critical incidents. Public criticism following alert failures during a water contamination event underscores the real-world consequences of gaps in emergency preparedness and public notification.
The opportunity
This project is budget-approved and actively planned, supported by a $78.5M public safety bond allocation. A leadership transition anticipated in late 2026 and an upcoming mass-notification contract renewal create a near-term decision window to advance modernization, strengthen community resilience, and align with FY planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified critical gaps in real-time environmental hazard detection and public alerting, underscored by prior public criticism over failed emergency notifications. Without modernized flood warning infrastructure, residents face elevated risk during severe weather events and the City remains operationally exposed.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved and supported by a $78.5M public safety bond allocation, with active planning signaling near-term procurement readiness. Advancing now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, strengthens community resilience, and reduces liability tied to documented alerting failures.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a hard WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with active remediation needs spanning PDF accessibility and a planned chatbot and voice assistant replacement. Failure to meet the mandate exposes the City to legal liability and limits equitable digital access for all residents.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget includes a dedicated $60K allocation for the chatbot and voice assistant initiative, and the September 2026 budget hearing is an immediate planning checkpoint. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance readiness, reduces legal risk, and maximizes use of approved capital funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics Expansion & Electrification
Fleet Management · Sustainability & Climate Action
High Priority
About this project
The City's fleet management relies on an existing telematics platform, but planned electrification and a citywide traffic-safety communication network signal a need for expanded data capabilities. A 28.4% increase in risk management fund expenditures underscores the operational stakes of modernizing fleet oversight.
The opportunity
FTA Bus and Bus Facilities grants and Urbanized Area Formula Grants provide viable funding pathways for fleet electrification and telematics expansion within the current planning cycle. Acting now aligns with budget-approved strategic initiatives and supports the City's climate action commitments while reducing long-term operational risk costs.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Enhancement & Cloud Disaster Recovery Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The FY27 IT budget includes a dedicated $168K allocation for cybersecurity systems enhancement, with cloud disaster recovery identified as a parallel strategic priority. An incumbent endpoint management and service desk platform is in place, creating integration or modernization considerations for endpoint protection and identity security.
The opportunity
FY27 budget is actively allocated and cloud disaster recovery planning is underway, making this an immediate execution window. The JAG Program offers a direct grant pathway for cybersecurity and endpoint initiatives, and total IT spend exceeding $14M supports additional investment capacity.
