Password & Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively planning a transition away from its current password management solution, driven by Texas cybersecurity and password security mandates. With no incumbent cybersecurity partners in place, this greenfield initiative carries real compliance and operational risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget has been adopted and this initiative is approved, creating an immediate procurement window. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a potential funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline acquisition.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan was adopted in 1987 and is critically overdue for review, creating significant compliance and public safety risk. The county-shared mass-notification system has known limitations, and the absence of documented HSEEP exercises compounds preparedness gaps for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget has been adopted and includes dedicated emergency management technology funding, creating an immediate window to act. A recent leadership transition signals openness to re-evaluating emergency systems, and state and federal grant programs may offset modernization costs with limited local match required.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring accessible digital services for all residents. A new website is already a budget-approved line item in the FY 2026–2027 budget, creating an immediate and funded entry point for compliance-aligned improvements.
The opportunity
The budget-approved website project and active FY 2026–2027 planning cycle create a rare alignment of funding, timing, and regulatory urgency. Acting now ensures the city meets its 2028 federal mandate, reduces legal exposure, and delivers equitable digital access to all residents. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city has no identified endpoint or IT management solution in place, creating a greenfield gap as it pursues a budget-approved IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative, including a planned migration to web-hosted financial software. Active Texas cybersecurity mandates and the absence of existing infrastructure management tools elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The newly adopted FY 2026–2027 budget and planned financial software upgrade create immediate timing alignment for endpoint and infrastructure investment. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program represents a potential federal funding pathway, and acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes planning and procurement efficiency.

Discuss this project →Non-Police Fleet Visibility & Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's non-police fleet currently lacks telematics and safety monitoring coverage, creating a visibility gap that limits accountability and public fleet-safety metrics. Without real-time data on vehicle location, usage, and driver behavior, the city faces elevated operational risk and reduced ability to manage assets efficiently.
The opportunity
The newly adopted FY 2026–2027 budget and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined path to address this gap with limited procurement burden. Conditional eligibility for USDA Community Facilities funding offers a viable cost-offset mechanism, making this an actionable initiative within the current planning cycle.
