Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces critical emergency preparedness gaps—including an EOP of unknown age, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and unvalidated mass notification and siren procedures—despite active severe weather exposure. Texas NIMS adoption requirements add compliance urgency, and current public safety tech spend signals an underinvested program.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a recent City Manager transition create an immediate window to advance emergency management priorities, with HSGP and EMPG grant programs offering eligible funding pathways. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling streamlined procurement and faster time-to-compliance for this high-urgency initiative.
Mass Notification System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's current mass notification system has unvalidated siren and alert procedures, creating measurable life-safety risk during severe weather events. Without verified protocols or a named Emergency Management Coordinator, the City faces both operational gaps and exposure under Texas emergency management mandates requiring NIMS adoption.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a recent City Manager transition create an immediate window for procurement action. HSGP and EMPG grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, and confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements can significantly reduce procurement timelines and administrative burden.
Cybersecurity & Password Management Policy Implementation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City currently lacks a documented password-security policy, a cybersecurity mandate, and any recorded password-management implementation. This gap is explicitly flagged in compliance reviews, leaving municipal systems and resident data exposed to credential-based threats and audit risk.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a recent City Manager transition create an immediate window to establish new security priorities, with an initial phase potentially qualifying under the informal quote threshold. Federal grant programs, including the BJA JAG Program, offer eligible funding pathways for municipal cybersecurity initiatives.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2028, with current gaps in accessible forms and digital content governance. Without a structured remediation plan, the City risks civil rights complaints, federal enforcement, and inequitable access to resident-facing digital services.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a recent City Manager transition create an immediate window to prioritize and fund digital accessibility remediation. Acting now allows the City to phase implementation responsibly, align with the resident digital services initiative, and meet the federal deadline without emergency procurement pressure.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
A GPS fleet tracking solicitation expired in 2024 without fulfillment, leaving the City without real-time vehicle visibility. Rising repair costs, a proposed FY27 budget increase in Vehicle Repair Services, and a 10.84% year-over-year increase in Risk Management and Safety Fund Claims signal growing financial and operational risk.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a conditional grant match for fleet infrastructure create a timely funding pathway. Addressing fleet visibility now reduces liability exposure, supports the in-house maintenance program, and aligns procurement with cooperative purchasing agreements already in place.
