Emergency Management Plan & Command Center Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's emergency management plan is more than a decade overdue, and recent severe storms and boil water notices in 2025–2026 have exposed critical gaps in notification reliability and damage assessment coordination. A $15 million capital authorization for a new emergency command center signals readiness, but fragmented systems and an unknown mass-notification contract status elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
With capital already authorized and a budget hearing scheduled for September 2026, the funding window for command center modernization and plan updates is immediate. Acting now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, supports compliance with state emergency management obligations, and strengthens the City's ability to protect residents during future incidents.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The City faces an August 2026 Texas cybersecurity training compliance deadline with documented gaps in centralized credential security and identity access management. While Microsoft 365, endpoint protection, and MFA are in place, the absence of formalized password-security and access controls elevates breach risk and audit exposure.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline and an active BJA JAG grant cycle closing October 2026 create a narrow, time-sensitive window to act. FY2027 budget increases for IT infrastructure and software maintenance provide additional local funding alignment to close credential and access management gaps now.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Remote Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City's IT environment relies on an existing remote monitoring and management agreement that may no longer meet operational demands, creating gaps in endpoint visibility, software maintenance, and infrastructure reliability. The FY2027 budget proposes a $150k infrastructure upgrade and a $20.5k increase in software maintenance spend, signaling recognized deficiencies that carry continuity and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Budget line items for IT infrastructure are already proposed and approved, establishing near-term procurement readiness ahead of the September 2026 budget adoption cycle. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers an eligible funding pathway for IT management technology, and transitional city leadership creates a favorable environment for advancing foundational improvements now.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a 37.9% rise in vehicle/liability insurance and a 33.3% increase in workers' compensation costs, signaling elevated fleet risk. Existing GPS tracking lacks driver-behavior coaching and maintenance analytics, leaving police, fire, and public works fleets exposed to operational and liability gaps.
The opportunity
A $15 million capital authorization covering vehicles and equipment for police, fire, and public works provides a direct, approved funding path. PROTECT and USDA grants with October 2026 deadlines offer additional support, making the current fiscal window the optimal time to act.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps across public-facing digital portals, with a legally binding federal deadline of April 2028. A planned website initiative was withdrawn, yet accessibility and document workflow gaps remain unresolved, exposing the City to legal and equity risk.
The opportunity
Transitional leadership and FY2027 IT budget increases create a timely opening for phased implementation before the compliance deadline. Early action reduces legal exposure, improves equitable public access to services, and aligns with available IT maintenance funding capacity.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's active mass notification system has unknown performance and contract status, creating reliability and coverage risk during emergencies. Recent severe weather events and boil water notices in 2025–2026 have stressed existing infrastructure, and the FY2027 budget reflects a targeted increase for emergency notification in the Crime Control District.
The opportunity
With a September 2026 budget hearing and adoption cycle approaching, a near-term procurement window is open and budget has been approved for this initiative. Modernizing notification capabilities now strengthens public safety outcomes, supports emergency command center alignment, and positions the City to leverage available state and federal funding.
