Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City currently lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated Emergency Management coordinator, and verified mass notification capabilities — gaps that create significant compliance exposure and operational risk under existing emergency management mandates. Without these foundational elements, the City's ability to protect residents and coordinate response during critical incidents remains uncertain.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget includes Emergency Management funding, and 2026 grant deadlines — including EMPG, which specifically supports mass notification — create a near-term window to act. A newly onboarded City Manager prioritizing infrastructure and communication signals receptive leadership for advancing this initiative now.
Fleet Modernization and Telematics Integration
Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks fleet-wide dash cameras and telematics, creating significant claims defensibility gaps that have already contributed to a 10% auto insurance cost increase. The approved FY2026-27 capital budget designates funding for fleet modernization, new vehicles, and public works equipment, making this an active and time-sensitive initiative.
The opportunity
Approved capital funding and a confirmed cooperative procurement pathway position this project for execution within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces ongoing insurance cost exposure, strengthens liability defensibility, and advances a stated leadership priority before the FY2026-27 budget window closes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a 2028 deadline, and no CMS-level web accessibility solution is currently in place. This gap exposes the City to legal and compliance risk while limiting equitable digital access for all residents.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined window for procurement planning, and acting ahead of the deadline allows the City to avoid costly remediation under pressure. This initiative aligns with the current FY budget cycle and the new City Manager's stated priorities around infrastructure and communication.
Endpoint Security and IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city operates under a general cybersecurity mandate with active but fragmented endpoint and IT management tools approaching renewal, creating consolidation risk and potential coverage gaps. With over $772,000 in annual IT and software spend, uncoordinated tooling increases exposure to cyber threats and audit findings.
The opportunity
Grant programs including JAG and HSGP, with 2026 deadlines, are eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity and endpoint management initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the city to reduce operational risk, strengthen compliance posture, and maximize available public funding before deadlines lapse.
Modernizing Public Safety with a Real-Time Crime Center
Public Safety · Smart City Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The FY2026-27 budget includes approved capital spending for a real-time crime center, signaling a strategic shift toward advanced, data-driven public safety operations. Without timely implementation, the city risks delayed outcomes in crime deterrence, situational awareness, and coordinated emergency response.
The opportunity
Budget approval is already in place for FY2026-27, with finalization expected in September 2026, creating a defined and immediate procurement window. The new City Manager's focus on infrastructure and communication further positions this initiative for swift advancement and measurable public safety impact.
