Cybersecurity Posture & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A cyber incident in August 2025 exposed critical gaps in the City's cybersecurity infrastructure, driving an August 31, 2026 compliance deadline and an active post-incident review. Incomplete password management controls and insufficient backup and redundancy mechanisms elevate ongoing operational and data security risk for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes meaningful MIS/IT increases and a $3.4M public safety technology allocation, with budget adoption on September 8, 2026 creating an immediate funding window. The JAG program is cited as an eligible grant source for cybersecurity and IT management tools, supporting action within the current fiscal cycle.
Unified Emergency Communications & Preparedness Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City relies on fragmented emergency notification systems with unverified plan review cycles, no confirmed City-specific exercises, and an incomplete Emergency Operations Center—gaps compounded by recent wildfire declarations. Annual emergency management plan requirements add a compliance dimension, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
With $3.4M allocated for public safety technology and the EOC nearing completion, the City has a defined funding window to consolidate fragmented systems and close documented preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with compliance requirements and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City operates 350+ vehicles under an active liability plan, yet lacks integrated telematics, dash cameras, and driver-safety monitoring—creating gaps in evidence preservation and risk control. Concurrent fleet replacement and leasing initiatives signal a broader modernization effort where proactive safety tools are operationally overdue.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes targeted increases for Fleet and Central Services, and FTA and PROTECT grant programs offer additional funding leverage for transportation resilience technology. Acting within this budget cycle enables the City to reduce liability exposure, strengthen operational oversight, and maximize available funding alignment.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate with a firm 2028 deadline and an active remediation obligation spanning its municipal website, mobile app, and digital service programs. Fragmented accessibility and content management tools increase compliance risk and limit equitable access for all residents.
The opportunity
The September 8, 2026 budget adoption creates a near-term funding decision point, and digital transformation efforts already underway mean leadership attention and capital are aligned. Acting now allows the City to consolidate tools, reduce long-term remediation costs, and advance toward full compliance ahead of the federal deadline.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Following a 2025 cyber incident, the City is conducting a post-incident infrastructure review and implementing backup and redundancy mechanisms, signaling a broad modernization need. Fragmented endpoint management tools and a $1.7M+ annual IT spend create both operational risk and an opportunity to consolidate and strengthen the City's security posture.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle includes increased MIS/IT allocations and a $3.4M public safety technology fund, with the September 8, 2026 budget adoption as the immediate decision milestone. JAG grant eligibility for public safety technology provides an additional funding pathway, making this an optimal window to advance infrastructure resilience and compliance.
