Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks an enterprise credential management solution and faces a mandatory Texas cybersecurity certification deadline of August 31, 2026. The concurrent transition of law enforcement operations to the county Sheriff's Office heightens the urgency of securing data access and communications during a high-risk operational changeover.
The opportunity
The September 14, 2026 budget hearing and the BJA FY 2026 grant deadline of September 24, 2026 together create a narrow, time-sensitive window to fund and authorize this initiative. Acting now ensures compliance, reduces transition-period exposure, and aligns with active public-safety technology modernization priorities in the current fiscal plan.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented split notification ecosystem — managing local alerts separately from county-level systems — leaving gaps in coordinated public warning coverage. With no confirmed EOP review, no documented exercises or after-action reports, and an active FEMA NIMS adoption mandate, the city faces significant emergency preparedness and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program (deadline October 9, 2026) offers a direct funding path for notification modernization, and the FY2025–2026 regional mass-notification initiative is already budgeted. A September 2026 budget hearing and an October 1 public safety transition deadline make this an urgent, time-sensitive window to act.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city must meet a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate by April 26, 2028, and the current CMS may require upgrade or replacement to meet standards. Active digital engagement and utility-service modernization initiatives signal broad demand for accessible, citizen-facing portals and content.
The opportunity
Near-term digital modernization planning creates a natural window to address accessibility requirements ahead of the 2028 deadline, avoiding costly last-minute remediation. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Texas local governments can streamline procurement and support responsible stewardship of public funds.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's police department dissolution effective October 1, 2026 creates an immediate need to evaluate, secure, and transition law enforcement technology—including dispatch, communications, and records systems. Gaps in endpoint oversight and cybersecurity compliance, including a Texas cybersecurity certification deadline, elevate operational and legal risk during this critical period.
The opportunity
The September 14, 2026 budget hearing and a BJA grant deadline in late September represent concurrent funding windows to address transition costs and infrastructure gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces continuity risk and positions the city to meet compliance mandates before the department changeover takes effect.
BJA FY 2026 CGIC Initiative
Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Risk Management
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
Vehicle insurance costs have risen approximately 20% across Fire, Street, Landfill, and Water/Sewer departments, signaling systemic fleet risk despite no reported accidents. Active camera negotiations and a planned dozer/scraper acquisition confirm ongoing fleet investment and openness to safety technology.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program (deadline October 9, 2026) offers a direct funding path for fleet safety initiatives, and the September 14, 2026 budget hearing creates a near-term decision window. Acting now can reduce insurance exposure, improve vehicle visibility, and align spending with available grant resources.
