Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fatal patrol-vehicle collision in January 2025 and multiple subsequent fleet accidents, combined with the absence of fleet-wide dash cameras or telematics, present an urgent public safety and liability risk. The city's active fleet replacement discussions and a failing vehicle-service lift underscore the need for immediate, comprehensive fleet safety intervention.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget includes up to $650,000 designated for the Vehicle Replacement Fund, with public hearings in September creating a near-term decision window. Cooperative purchasing relationships offer a streamlined procurement path, and transportation technology grants with late-2026 deadlines may provide additional funding alignment.
Strengthen Emergency Management Plan Compliance & Resilience
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city carries an ongoing obligation to maintain a TDEM-compliant Emergency Management Plan and adopt NIMS standards, yet gaps remain in plan currency, public review documentation, and after-action reporting for recent severe weather flooding events. These deficiencies elevate both compliance and operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Active DHS emergency management grant funding and a dedicated public safety technology budget create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps without relying solely on general fund dollars. Advancing this initiative now aligns with the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, satisfies non-discretionary TDEM and NIMS mandates, and strengthens community resilience before the next incident.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates fragmented emergency notification and EOC communications systems, creating coordination gaps during critical incidents. The incumbent mass notification contract expires November 30, 2026, presenting a defined window to evaluate and consolidate into a unified, NIMS-compliant solution.
The opportunity
The November 2026 contract expiration creates a near-term, competitive evaluation cycle aligned with the city's funded emergency management and resilience initiative. Acting now allows sufficient lead time for procurement compliance and positions the city to reduce operational risk before the next severe weather season.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandatory ADA Title II web accessibility deadline of April 2028, with identified WCAG 2.1 gaps across public-facing digital portals. An existing digital services agreement expiring in October 2026 creates a near-term evaluation point, elevating both compliance and continuity risk.
The opportunity
The upcoming contract expiration and active FY budget adoption process create a near-term window to fund and advance this initiative before compliance risk grows. Addressing accessibility gaps now ensures equitable public access to city services and positions the city ahead of the 2028 federal deadline.
Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented cybersecurity stack across multiple tools, creating gaps in unified endpoint visibility and management. An authorized ERP migration and a newly proposed IT Specialist position signal active capacity expansion during a period of departmental reorganization, elevating operational and security risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget decision window—with the IT Specialist position and ERP migration already approved—creates immediate alignment for endpoint management investment. Acting now reduces security exposure during the transition period and leverages existing budget authority before the fiscal cycle closes.
Centralize Privileged Access & Credential Security
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented cybersecurity environment with multiple disparate tools leaves credential and access management inconsistent across the organization. An ongoing ERP migration and the addition of new IT staff are expanding the attack surface, increasing the urgency for centralized, auditable access controls.
The opportunity
The budget-approved ERP modernization and active IT staffing expansion create a natural, time-sensitive entry point to address credential security within the current fiscal cycle. With an established IT and software budget and organizational changes already underway, funding pathways and operational readiness are aligned for action now.
