Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented EOP and permanent EOC, and an end-of-life outdoor warning system failed during a recent tornado—exposing critical gaps in public safety readiness. Identified NIMS training deficiencies add compliance risk, leaving residents and first responders without a reliable, coordinated emergency response framework.
The opportunity
With $145,316 already designated for emergency management technology in the FY27 budget and active planning underway, the funding and organizational readiness are in place to act now. Addressing these gaps this fiscal cycle reduces operational and compliance risk while strengthening community resilience before the next severe weather event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently operates multiple redundant mass notification platforms, creating fragmented communications, increased maintenance overhead, and reduced operational clarity during emergencies. Recent emergency events have exposed gaps in warning system reliability, elevating risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Consolidation is an active strategic initiative with FY budget support and cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline procurement. Acting now reduces operational risk, improves emergency response outcomes, and aligns with the city's emergency management modernization priorities.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent fire apparatus collision resulting in $397K in repairs underscores critical fleet safety gaps across an aging, largely unmanaged fleet—70 of 100+ vehicles are aging, with 28 from 2010 or older. Deferred maintenance and insufficient monitoring technology elevate liability, operational risk, and public safety exposure.
The opportunity
An active fleet financing RFP due September 2026 creates an immediate procurement window, supported by a $200K Safe Streets grant and public safety capital allocations in the FY27 budget. Acting now reduces accident liability, aligns with budget-approved initiatives, and leverages cooperative procurement pathways available to the jurisdiction.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active Texas compliance mandates for password management and incident reporting, with current tooling presenting consolidation gaps. Planned initiatives spanning cloud migration, identity and access management, backup infrastructure, and endpoint modernization carry direct operational and compliance risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
FY27 budget line items totaling over $300k for IT infrastructure, backup, and PC replacements make near-term procurement actionable. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers supplemental funding explicitly referencing cybersecurity and technology improvements, supporting a fiscally responsible path forward.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across all public-facing digital services by April 26, 2028. Current website and CMS infrastructure may require significant expansion or replacement to achieve full conformance, and a concurrent website redesign creates both urgency and a consolidation opportunity.
The opportunity
This initiative is identified as a funded strategic priority in FY27 budget planning, providing a clear procurement window ahead of the 2028 deadline. Bundling accessibility remediation with the planned website redesign maximizes public dollars and reduces long-term compliance and legal risk.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security and Password Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas compliance mandates require improved password management and incident reporting capabilities, and the city's current tooling no longer meets those standards. Without action, the organization faces elevated credential risk, audit exposure, and potential non-compliance with state cybersecurity requirements.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly supports cybersecurity and technology improvements, offering a potential funding pathway with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with both the grant window and planned IT infrastructure investments already budgeted for FY27.
