Close Critical Emergency Preparedness Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a mass-notification system, and documented HSEEP-style exercises. Recent severe weather events and a major disaster declaration have elevated operational and compliance risk, with mandates explicitly requiring EOP review.
The opportunity
With $23,000 already allocated to emergency management technology and county-level Hazard Mitigation planning underway, conditions are aligned for action this fiscal cycle. Closing these gaps now reduces liability exposure, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a mass notification system, leaving staff and residents without reliable emergency alerts. Recent severe weather and a major disaster declaration underscore the operational and life-safety risk of this gap.
The opportunity
FEMA and state emergency preparedness grant windows, including HSGP-aligned funding, support mass notification investments with limited local match. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the city simplify and accelerate compliant procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified gaps in fleet oversight, including the absence of dash cameras and telematics, creating liability exposure and limiting operational visibility across public works. An active capital program signals increased fleet activity, making the lack of real-time asset tracking a growing operational and risk management concern.
The opportunity
Active capital investment and an ongoing budget planning cycle create a timely window to address fleet safety and accountability gaps. Cooperative purchasing programs already in place can streamline procurement, and the project may align with available infrastructure or public works funding in the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Audit findings have exposed IT security vulnerabilities requiring remediation, while cybersecurity awareness gaps persist across city operations. With a moderate annual IT spend of $89,500, the scope of remediation is constrained without supplemental funding support.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates, audit findings, and a leadership transition create a timely opening to advance security posture improvements. Eligible federal grant programs, including those aligned with cybersecurity preparedness, can offset local costs and accelerate action within the current fiscal cycle.

Digital Accessibility · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city maintains an existing web accessibility solution but faces continuous WCAG 2.1 compliance obligations that require ongoing monitoring and potential upgrades. Without sustained attention, gaps in digital accessibility can expose the city to legal risk and limit equitable public access to services.
The opportunity
Active budget planning cycles and cooperative purchasing programs already in use create a low-friction path to address recurring compliance needs. Proactively maintaining WCAG conformance protects the city from audit findings and ensures digital services remain accessible to all residents.
