Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan and resilience/hazard-mitigation planning, while its mass notification system operates disconnected from countywide CAD and public safety platforms. Active mandates around NIMS adoption and PIO certification compound the operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing on September 14, 2026 creates an immediate decision window, with $88,918 in existing emergency management IT spend available to redirect. A funded interlocal agreement with Johnson County further supports integrated public safety investment eligible for state and federal grant alignment.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City has a documented WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gap across public-facing digital portals and documents, creating meaningful litigation exposure. Existing document tools provide only partial remediation coverage, and a dedicated accessibility effort is required to meet the April 2028 federal compliance deadline.
The opportunity
Website maintenance and accessibility improvements are already budget-approved in FY 2026–2027, providing a funded path for phased remediation. Acting now ahead of the April 2028 WCAG 2.1 deadline reduces legal risk, supports equitable public access, and allows implementation without emergency procurement pressure.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks dash cameras and telematics across its fleet, leaving vehicle behavior unmonitored and unverifiable. Insurance costs have surged over 100%, and public allegations of unsafe driving expose the City to growing liability and reputational risk without data to respond.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing on September 14, 2026 is an immediate appropriations decision point, and available grant programs explicitly cover in-vehicle technologies and data-driven enforcement tools. Acting now enables the City to reduce insurance exposure, improve public accountability, and pursue eligible funding before the window closes.
ITSE Grant Program
Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Credential Security Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Identity Management
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified IT infrastructure upgrades and credential security as budget-approved strategic priorities for FY 2026–2027, with signals pointing to gaps in endpoint management and password security. A recent shift away from contracted IT services suggests growing reliance on internal tooling, elevating operational and security risk if modernization is delayed.
The opportunity
With IT infrastructure upgrades already appropriated and a critical budget hearing on September 14, 2026, the window to finalize and act on these investments is immediate. The City's existing Microsoft 365 environment provides a ready foundation, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path.
