Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county-level emergency management, and has an overdue EOP review creating active compliance risk. Recent severe flooding exhausted local capacities, triggered a state of emergency declaration, and exposed critical infrastructure gaps affecting residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG offer direct funding pathways for emergency management initiatives, and compliance mandates are overdue — making action within the current fiscal window essential. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational and legal exposure while strengthening community resilience and continuity of public safety services.
Emergency Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented emergency notification ecosystem, with a county-level system running alongside unmet local needs, creating redundancy and coverage gaps. This split limits coordinated community-wide communication during emergencies, compounding existing gaps in local emergency preparedness and an overdue EOP review.
The opportunity
Recent budget approval and an active grant landscape — including FEMA-aligned programs — create a timely window to consolidate notification infrastructure and close compliance gaps. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce procurement complexity, and acting within the current fiscal cycle supports both operational continuity and community safety outcomes.
IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical cybersecurity gaps including outdated infrastructure, a recent email outage, and endpoint failures that signal immediate operational risk to public services. Active IT procurement and identified needs at the Police Building and DPW underscore the urgency of a coordinated modernization effort.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and recently approved IT services contract create a timely window to advance endpoint security and infrastructure upgrades. JAG and TEP grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement within current fiscal planning cycles.
Fire Department Fleet Safety & Risk Reduction
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Fire Department is experiencing rising vehicle insurance costs and general liability challenges, signaling unmanaged fleet safety risk. With no current fleet management solution in place, the city lacks the visibility and controls needed to reduce liability exposure and protect public assets.
The opportunity
Active capital fleet initiatives—including fire and police vehicle procurement—create a natural entry point for formalizing fleet oversight this fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing frameworks already in use by the city can accelerate procurement and reduce administrative burden, supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.
ADA & Digital Accessibility Compliance for Public Facilities
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city has active ADA compliance goals tied to the Blackbird Museum renovation, creating a near-term, capital-project-driven deadline. Gaps in digital accessibility may also affect public-facing portals, expanding the compliance surface and risk exposure for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The museum renovation establishes a fixed compliance window, making this an ideal moment to act before deadlines trigger legal or audit risk. Community grant funding has been recently active, and this project aligns well with the current fiscal and capital planning cycle.
