Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City's public-facing digital services reference WCAG 2.0 rather than the current WCAG 2.1 standard, creating an active compliance gap under Section 508. This shortfall exposes the City to legal and audit risk while limiting equitable access to digital services for all residents.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget, effective July 1, 2026, provides a current and defined funding window to address this compliance need. Acting now aligns with an active modernization initiative and positions the City to close the WCAG 2.1 gap before it escalates into a formal finding.
Emergency Operations Plan Development and Preparedness Gap Closure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has no publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan, creating a significant preparedness gap and potential non-compliance with state emergency management laws. Recent severe weather declarations heighten urgency, and the absence of a mass-notification system or EMPG award indicates critical, unaddressed risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
The newly approved FY 2026–2027 budget and a $18,000 state public safety appropriation signal active investment appetite, while HSGP and EMPG grant pathways offer eligible funding with limited local match. New city leadership creates a timely opening to prioritize EOP development, reduce compliance exposure, and strengthen community resilience before the next severe weather season.
Citywide Mass Notification & Emergency Alerting Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City operates with no citywide mass-notification platform and an inoperable severe-weather siren, leaving residents and staff without reliable emergency alerting. Fragmented inter-agency coordination with the county EMA and recent severe weather declarations compound the operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant funding are directly applicable to this gap, and the greenfield environment means no incumbent system displacement is required. With the FY 2026–2027 budget now approved and a new City Manager in place, conditions favor advancing this initiative in the current planning cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent Road & Bridge vehicle acquisition presents an early opportunity to establish telematics and safety monitoring practices. No fleet-related incidents or compliance mandates are currently driving urgency, making this a preventive, documentation-focused consideration rather than an immediate operational gap.
The opportunity
New vehicle onboarding offers a low-friction entry point for telematics adoption before safety or liability gaps emerge. Proactive implementation supports driver accountability, asset documentation, and positions the city for future insurance or grant-related benefits within the current budget cycle.
