Emergency Operations Plan Review & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's emergency management plan lacks current review or certification, while recurring water-system failures and a history of declared emergencies expose residents to unmitigated risk. The recent resignation of the Emergency Management Coordinator compounds leadership continuity gaps and leaves a fragmented notification infrastructure unresolved.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026 is a near-term decision window, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and EMPG offer eligible funding paths with limited local match. Incoming city leadership creates a strong environment for new initiative adoption, making this an optimal moment to close preparedness gaps and strengthen community resilience.
Cybersecurity & Password Governance Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active compliance mandates around password governance and cybersecurity training, with the 2026 training deadline already passed — creating immediate audit exposure. Ongoing ARPA-funded IT investments signal an active modernization effort, making this a timely gap to close before further risk accumulates.
The opportunity
The lapsed training deadline demands near-term remediation to reduce compliance and operational risk. With the FY 2026–2027 budget hearing approaching in September 2026 and federal grant programs available for cybersecurity initiatives, this project aligns with active funding windows and procurement momentum already underway.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city carries an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility mandate with a 2028 compliance deadline, and current digital document practices indicate gaps that elevate legal and equity risk. Residents relying on accessible public-facing content face barriers that conflict with federal accessibility requirements.
The opportunity
With a budget hearing for FY 2026–2027 approaching and active IT procurement underway, this is a near-term window to fund accessibility remediation before compliance gaps widen. Addressing this now supports equitable public service delivery and aligns with the city's existing web services investment.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has experienced multiple motor vehicle crashes, an employee injury, and persistent fleet maintenance issues, creating significant liability exposure and operational inefficiency. Without telematics and structured fleet oversight, these risks remain unmitigated and continue to strain public safety resources.
The opportunity
The city's FY 2026–2027 budget hearing presents a near-term funding decision window, with confirmed Fire Department spending increases signaling readiness for fleet investment. Federal transit-related grant programs may offer a conditional funding path, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline and accelerate procurement.

IT Modernization · Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
The city has active IT modernization efforts underway, including server room improvements and ARPA-funded upgrades, signaling infrastructure investment already in motion. Without consolidated endpoint and infrastructure management, operational continuity, cybersecurity posture, and stewardship of public funds remain at risk.
The opportunity
Approved ARPA funding creates a live budget window for IT infrastructure improvements ahead of the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, with a key hearing approaching in September 2026. Acting now allows the city to maximize existing appropriations, reduce operational risk, and align with federal cybersecurity compliance timelines before the current grant window closes.
