Emergency Operations Plan Update & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces an overdue EOP review cycle, siren system reliability concerns, and undocumented after-action reports for severe weather events. A recent mass notification platform transition created a potential coverage gap, and an Emergency Preparedness Score of 3 signals meaningful readiness risks for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FY 2025–2026 budget includes $30,000 specifically allocated for an Emergency Response Plan Update, and the FY 2026–2027 budget adoption window in September 2026 is a near-term funding decision point. Federal grants such as EMPG may further offset costs, making this an optimal cycle to close preparedness gaps and strengthen community resilience.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's current mass notification platform carries a potential coverage gap stemming from a prior system transition, and a fragmented digital environment limits reliable alerting for residents and staff during incidents. With an updated Emergency Management Plan now in place, the incumbent system's limitations present measurable operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget adoption window (September 2026) and an updated Emergency Management Plan create a timely opening to evaluate notification infrastructure. Cooperative purchasing mechanisms already in place can streamline procurement, and grants such as EMPG offer eligible funding pathways to reduce local cost burden.
Cybersecurity Training & Password Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a hard Texas cybersecurity training compliance deadline of August 31, 2026, with current gaps in unified endpoint protection and password management creating measurable security and compliance exposure. Without remediation, the City risks audit findings, credential vulnerabilities, and potential service disruptions affecting staff and residents.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes $1.12M for software maintenance and a $7.36M tax-note allocation for software and public-safety equipment, providing clear funding headroom. JAG grant eligibility offers an additional pathway, and acting before the August 31 deadline ensures compliance and reduces operational risk ahead of the September budget adoption window.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City is executing multiple concurrent IT initiatives—server and switch replacements, storage expansion, and critical system migrations—while facing a gap in IT oversight capacity. A pending cybersecurity compliance deadline and a fragmented endpoint environment elevate operational and security risk across city services.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget adoption window and a $7.36M tax-note allocation for software and public-safety equipment create a near-term funding decision point. Acting now aligns modernization efforts with approved resources, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens long-term IT resilience—with additional federal grant pathways available to offset costs.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a documented fleet telematics platform, with no GPS tracking, dash-camera, or driver-behavior monitoring in place. Workers' Compensation costs have risen sharply across departments and a public liability claim has already been paid, signaling measurable operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes a $109.8K increase for vehicles, and the FY 2026 Low or No Emission Grant Program and PROTECT grant offer eligible external funding pathways. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces liability exposure and supports active fleet investment initiatives already underway.

Discuss this project →Document Digitization and Paperless Records Modernization
Records Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has identified document scanning, storage, and a paperless implementation plan as active, budget-approved strategic initiatives, but operates within a fragmented digital environment that limits staff efficiency and public access to records. Without a unified digitization strategy, the City faces ongoing operational risk, inconsistent document accessibility, and barriers to long-term records compliance.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and an upcoming November bond election create near-term procurement windows with allocated funding for software initiatives. Acting within this cycle allows the City to advance digitization goals, reduce paper-dependent workflows, and leverage established cooperative purchasing agreements to streamline acquisition.
