Emergency Operations Plan Development and Local Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and a dedicated local emergency coordinator, relying solely on county-level support. NIMS implementation and EOP review mandates remain unmet, and an ongoing leadership transition amplifies operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The city's April–May 2026 budget planning cycle creates an immediate decision window, and multiple grants with July 2026 deadlines—including HSGP, BRIC, COPS TEP, and JAG—offer direct funding alignment. Acting now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens community preparedness, and positions the city to capture available grant dollars before deadlines pass.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city is replacing its dedicated mass notification platform with a general-purpose email tool, creating a critical gap in emergency alerting for staff and residents. This displacement, combined with the absence of a local EOP and NIMS compliance requirements, elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
This initiative is already funded and tied to an active migration timeline, creating a clear and immediate procurement window. Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines and cooperative purchasing agreements further reduce cost and procurement barriers, supporting near-term action aligned with the current fiscal and compliance cycle.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Strengthen Endpoint Security and Device Visibility
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks centralized endpoint management and IT security tooling, creating gaps in device visibility, patch management, and credential protection. A newly launched website with online bill pay expands the attack surface, increasing risk to city systems and resident data.
The opportunity
Active IT modernization funding — including PC replacements and server maintenance — provides a natural entry point for endpoint security investment this fiscal cycle. Grant programs and cooperative purchasing agreements offer viable, low-barrier procurement pathways to close security gaps and protect public-facing digital services.
Fleet Telematics Integration for Transportation Safety
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's active fleet replacement initiative presents a natural integration point for telematics and driver safety monitoring, though identified field operations hazards and visibility gaps remain unaddressed. Without telematics embedded during vehicle modernization, the opportunity to improve accountability and reduce operational risk may be deferred significantly.
The opportunity
Bundling telematics with the funded fleet replacement effort maximizes existing capital investment and may align with available grant programs, including public safety and infrastructure-focused funding. Acting within the current procurement and budget cycle avoids a costly standalone project later and strengthens operational oversight of public assets.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Public Safety Digital Equipment Modernization
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has a funded initiative to modernize public safety digital infrastructure, including body cameras, in-car video systems, and a citywide camera network. A March 2026 public safety incident has elevated urgency, and a leadership transition underscores the need for operational continuity and first-responder readiness.
The opportunity
A proposed $2M bond millage allocation directly supports this effort, and grant opportunities such as COPS TEP and JAG with deadlines in July 2026 offer additional funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns procurement with available resources and strengthens public safety outcomes for the community.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city recently launched a new website with online bill pay functionality, though a prior website freeze signals recent digital service disruptions. Expanding digital services without addressing accessibility and document compliance gaps creates legal exposure and risks excluding residents from essential public services.
The opportunity
The active website rollout creates a natural, low-disruption window to remediate accessibility and document compliance gaps before they escalate into legal or audit findings. Investment aligns with the current IT spend profile and potential bond millage allocations, supporting near-term action within the upcoming fiscal cycle.
