Emergency Management & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified EOP status, overdue TDEM notification and PIO certification deadlines, and a fragmented mass notification ecosystem split between city and county systems. Recent county EM coordinator turnover further undermines coordinated response, elevating risk to residents and public safety personnel.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget hearing in September 2026 creates a near-term procurement decision window, and cooperative purchasing paths may reduce local funding burden. Consolidating notification systems and closing compliance gaps now strengthens community resilience and positions the city ahead of mandatory review deadlines.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's cybersecurity posture has gaps in endpoint management, access control, and password management, with an annual IT spend of just $16,449—insufficient for meaningful investment without external funding. Existing infrastructure may be fragmented, elevating operational risk to city systems and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant explicitly covers eligible cybersecurity technologies, and the FY2027 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program offers an additional funding pathway. With budget hearings scheduled for September 2026, the current window is critical for aligning grant pursuits with procurement decisions.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Readiness
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has a stated WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance goal for its public-facing website, with a WCAG 2.1 deadline of April 2028. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to city services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The September 2026 budget process offers a near-term planning window to scope and fund accessibility improvements ahead of the 2028 compliance deadline. Acting now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the city to align spending with the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Implementation
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent police vehicle collision during a pursuit has exposed a critical gap in fleet safety infrastructure, with no confirmed dash cameras or telematics in place. This leaves the department without reliable incident documentation, driver behavior oversight, or liability protection during active fleet modernization.
The opportunity
The ongoing fleet modernization cycle presents a near-term window to add telematics as a follow-on procurement, potentially accessible through cooperative purchasing agreements that reduce acquisition time and administrative burden. Acting within the current FY planning period strengthens officer safety, supports liability management, and aligns with public safety stewardship goals.
