Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Operations Plan has gone unreviewed since November 2020, with a formal review overdue since late 2024, and the current mass notification ecosystem is fragmented across two platforms. These gaps create measurable liability exposure, undermine disaster readiness, and leave staff and residents without a reliable, unified emergency response framework.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget decision window closes September 15, 2026, making this an immediate planning priority, with the PROTECT Competitive Grant Program and AFG program cited as applicable funding paths. Consolidating EOC systems and completing the overdue EOP now reduces compliance risk and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & CJIS Compliance Program Modernization
Cybersecurity · CJIS Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Texas annual cybersecurity training deadline passed August 31, 2026, creating an active compliance gap alongside unmet CJIS requirements. The ongoing ERP modernization further exposes identity, access, and endpoint security vulnerabilities that must be addressed before FY2027 systems go live.
The opportunity
FY2027 IT funding reflects an 87% budget increase with cybersecurity and CJIS compliance tools as explicit priorities, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program includes a direct allocation applicable to this initiative. The budget decision window closes September 15, 2026, making immediate action essential to capture funding and close active compliance gaps.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active federal mandate to bring all public-facing digital portals into WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2027. Non-compliance risks ADA violations, resident access inequities, and legal exposure for the municipality.
The opportunity
FY2027 IT budget funding is explicitly allocated for ADA compliance tooling, with a critical budget decision window closing September 15, 2026. Acting now ensures procurement aligns with the compliance deadline and maximizes available funding before the fiscal cycle closes.
Fire Department Mobile Connectivity & Endpoint Management
Fleet Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has submitted a specific FY2027 budget request for connected-engine devices and cellular connectivity across its fleet of apparatus, with no unified endpoint management currently in place. This gap limits real-time operational visibility and creates risk as the department undergoes broader ERP and IT modernization.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget decision window closes September 15, 2026, making this an immediately actionable, explicitly funded request. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program and AFG program offer supplemental funding pathways, and the department's 87% IT budget increase signals strong capacity to advance this initiative now.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented fleet-involved accidents and a prior ambulance lawsuit signal ongoing liability exposure from emergency-driving incidents. Without dash cameras or telematics, the city lacks the evidence needed to investigate incidents, defend against claims, or improve driver safety outcomes.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program offers a viable funding path for fleet telematics, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined acquisition route. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to reduce liability exposure and strengthen accountability across its fleet operations.

Discuss this project →ERP & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An active ERP modernization is exposing gaps across a fragmented technology ecosystem spanning emergency management, public safety, and core productivity platforms. Without coordinated infrastructure investment, the city risks integration failures, network vulnerabilities, and compounding compliance exposure across multiple operational domains.
The opportunity
A critical FY2027 budget window—with an 87% proposed increase in IT funding—creates a timely opportunity to align infrastructure improvements with the ongoing ERP investment. New IT and Finance leadership are positioned to accelerate decisions, and federal grant programs offer additional funding pathways for eligible modernization initiatives.
