Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Coordination Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City carries an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, significant coastal incident exposure, and no documented public exercise validation. A municipal ordinance mandates a current plan, and an in-progress compliance checklist signals active but incomplete efforts—leaving new emergency management leadership accountable for closing the gap.
The opportunity
Dedicated emergency management budget is allocated for the current fiscal cycle, and next-year planning is already underway—creating a near-term window to act. Addressing the EOP gap now reduces compliance and operational risk while positioning the City to pursue FEMA/TDEM reimbursement pathways already in use for adjacent infrastructure projects.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City is mid-migration on its mass notification platform, with active implementation issues and a December 2026 completion deadline. Instability in this system elevates risk for coastal and severe-weather incident response, where timely public alerting is operationally and compliance-critical.
The opportunity
With a firm December 2026 transition deadline and next fiscal year budget planning underway, now is the critical window to stabilize the platform and layer in EOC coordination capabilities. The City's cooperative purchasing membership streamlines procurement, and emergency management technology may align with available state and federal reimbursement pathways.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A phishing incident in August 2026 exposed critical gaps in the city's cybersecurity posture, including undocumented password management practices. An active IT modernization initiative is underway, but existing controls are insufficient to protect municipal systems, staff, and public data.
The opportunity
The fiscal year budget planning cycle is open and IT modernization efforts are already budget-approved, creating a timely path to fund remediation. Acting now reduces operational and compliance risk while aligning with the city's active cybersecurity training investment and broader digital modernization goals.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals and city websites require upgrades to meet ADA/WCAG accessibility standards, with document accessibility identified as an additional gap. Active implementations are underway with a September 2026 compliance deadline, creating immediate operational and legal risk if upgrades are not completed on time.
The opportunity
The September 2026 deadline makes this a non-discretionary, time-sensitive investment aligned with the current fiscal planning cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal exposure, improves equitable public access to city services, and supports broader digital modernization already in progress.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Asset Management Integration
Fleet Safety · Asset Management
High Priority
About this project
The City currently lacks documented dash cameras and telematics, and has no established vehicle maintenance controls, creating measurable safety and accountability gaps. An active asset management initiative covering vehicles is underway, but fleet safety technology has not yet been formally adopted, leaving operational risk unaddressed.
The opportunity
The in-progress asset management implementation creates a natural integration point for fleet telematics, with no existing infrastructure to displace. Cooperative purchasing membership streamlines procurement, and alignment with the current fiscal planning cycle supports timely adoption with minimal barriers.

Discuss this project →Infrastructure Resilience & Utility Modernization
Infrastructure Resilience · Utility Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has active infrastructure investments including a $829K wastewater treatment plant initiative and a generator project, both tied to FEMA/TDEM reimbursement pursuits. Utility billing modernization is also underway, reflecting broader pressure to modernize service delivery and maintain compliance across critical public works systems.
The opportunity
Established grant management capacity—evidenced by active FEMA/TDEM reimbursement pursuit and a recently redirected $108K budget—signals investment readiness and momentum. Aligning adjacent modernization needs with the current fiscal planning cycle maximizes reimbursement potential and strengthens long-term operational resilience.
