Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Security Controls
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces an overdue Texas annual cybersecurity certification deadline of August 31, 2026, with no documented password-security controls currently in place. The existing Microsoft 365 and endpoint environment lacks a password management layer, creating direct compliance exposure and operational security risk across city systems and staff.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026-27 budget includes technology and software upgrade line items, with a purchasing window opening October 1, 2026, and HSGP and EMPG grant programs available as active funding paths. Purchases under $100,000 qualify for informal quotes, reducing procurement friction and enabling timely action before the compliance deadline.
Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, an active HazMAP update, and an existing mass notification system with no documented performance metrics — leaving critical preparedness gaps. With the Fire Chief also serving as Emergency Management Coordinator, consolidated accountability heightens the operational risk of unresolved compliance and response readiness shortfalls.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026-27 budget and active HSGP and EMPG grant matches open a near-term funding window for emergency management improvements. Addressing the EOP gap, HazMAP update, and notification system now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next procurement cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with identified document accessibility gaps across department web pages. The active "Website & Digital Services" initiative to update all department pages and centralize web maintenance underscores both the operational scope and the compliance risk of inaction.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes approved technology and software upgrade funding, opening a near-term purchasing window to address accessibility gaps ahead of the 2028 mandate. Acting within this fiscal cycle reduces legal and compliance exposure while ensuring equitable digital access for all residents.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Risk Reduction
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces rising liability exposure from unmonitored vehicle use, inconsistent MVR system enforcement, and a 2% auto insurance premium increase tied to fleet safety gaps. Without improved oversight, operational risk and potential claims continue to grow alongside public works and patrol fleet demands.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes a replacement patrol vehicle with a purchasing window opening October 1, 2026, and the PROTECT Competitive Grant Program (deadline October 9, 2026) offers a direct funding match for fleet safety initiatives. Acting now captures available grant dollars and reduces long-term liability costs.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City operates a mixed endpoint environment with no identified endpoint management platform in place, creating visibility and security gaps across city devices. With an active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative underway and an overdue annual cybersecurity certification obligation, the absence of centralized endpoint oversight elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026-27 budget includes dedicated technology and software upgrade funding with a purchasing window opening October 1, 2026. HSGP and EMPG grants represent active federal funding paths for eligible IT and cybersecurity improvements, supporting action within the current fiscal cycle.
