Cybersecurity Hardening & Post-Ransomware Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A February 2025 ransomware incident encrypted the city's network, triggering urgent remediation and a formal cybersecurity hardening initiative. Compliance mandates stemming from the incident are high-priority, and unresolved gaps in endpoint protection and credential security pose continued operational risk to city services and residents.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, with a hearing in September 2026, explicitly prioritizes technology modernization, and federal justice and homeland security grant programs offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity investments. Acting within this window aligns remediation efforts with available appropriations and reduces prolonged exposure to reinfection or service disruption.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access across public-facing digital portals. Gaps in document accessibility within the existing CMS environment elevate both operational risk and equity concerns for constituents who rely on digital services.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline is firm, making near-term action essential to avoid legal liability and service disruption. With technology modernization already a budget priority in the upcoming fiscal cycle, this initiative aligns with active planning windows and cooperative procurement pathways that can accelerate compliant delivery.
Modernize Emergency Operations and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an Emergency Operations Plan of unknown age and a fragmented mass notification environment running two platforms simultaneously. A February 2025 ransomware incident further exposed coordination and resilience vulnerabilities, while ongoing Emergency Management Program maintenance remains a standing compliance mandate.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds are applicable to emergency management improvements, and CDBG infrastructure investment signals leadership receptivity to resilience-focused projects. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces operational risk and positions the city ahead of the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle.
Fleet Safety and Telematics Visibility Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces documented liability exposure from high-speed pursuit lawsuits and internal investigations revealing policy failures, with 300+ vehicles lacking comprehensive telematics and dash-cam coverage. Active fleet expansion—including 21 newly requested units—amplifies risk without a fleet-wide visibility and accountability solution in place.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget increases for fleet maintenance and vehicles in the upcoming fiscal year provide a direct funding signal to act now. Cooperative procurement agreements are already in place, enabling a faster, compliant path to closing safety gaps and reducing municipal liability exposure.
