Hazard Warning & Emergency Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a hazard-warning and public notification system, creating critical gaps in emergency communication and infrastructure protection. NIMS compliance and emergency plan update mandates are active, and without a cohesive warning capability, residents and staff face elevated risk during hazard events.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and EMPG grant funding explicitly covers emergency management technology, providing a near-term, low-local-match budget path aligned with the FY2026–2027 planning cycle. Acting now closes a high-priority preparedness gap, strengthens compliance posture, and improves life-safety outcomes for the community.
City Website Modernization & Accessibility Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City Council has voted to procure a new city website, driven by identified accessibility gaps and a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of 2028. Current digital infrastructure creates legal exposure and limits equitable resident access to public services and documents.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 budget discussions indicate funding is being allocated now, making this a live procurement cycle. Addressing accessibility compliance proactively reduces legal risk, improves service equity, and positions the City ahead of the 2028 mandate.
Cybersecurity Modernization & Cyber Insurance Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces Texas-mandated cybersecurity training requirements alongside fragmented IT infrastructure and an extremely low annual IT spend, signaling significant gaps in credential management and endpoint oversight. Active City Council discussion around cyber insurance reflects growing awareness of exposure, but without modernized tooling, operational and compliance risk remains elevated.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant programs explicitly identify cybersecurity technology as an eligible expense, providing a funded path forward within the current planning cycle. Acting now aligns with FY2026–2027 budget discussions and positions the City to meet state compliance mandates while reducing institutional risk.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Management Program Launch
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City currently operates without a fleet inventory, formal vehicle safety program, telematics, or dash cameras, creating measurable liability and operational risk. Leadership is actively reconsidering vehicle policy, signaling awareness of the gap but no implemented controls to protect staff, assets, or the public.
The opportunity
The PROTECT grant offers an identified funding pathway aligned with fleet safety technology, and active long-range transportation planning creates a timely entry point for formalizing requirements. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure and positions the City to leverage available grant dollars before the window closes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City's internal IT capacity is limited, with an annual IT and software spend of approximately $4,300 — signaling significant underinvestment in managed services, endpoint management, and cybersecurity. Active discussions around engaging an IT contractor highlight growing operational risk and the need for structured, sustainable infrastructure support.
The opportunity
FY2026–2027 budget planning is underway, and incoming leadership presents a timely window to establish foundational IT improvements. Grant-eligible cybersecurity initiatives and available infrastructure funds offer viable funding pathways to address gaps with minimal burden on the general fund.
