Emergency Operations Plan Review and Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review, creating measurable compliance risk and potential loss of federal funding. Fragmented mass notification coverage and identified hazard mitigation gaps further elevate operational exposure for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget includes increased allocations for emergency management and public safety notifications, with a public hearing in September 2026 creating a near-term funding window. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, reduces federal funding risk, and positions the city to advance hazard mitigation and community resilience goals.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented notification environment — a legacy platform running alongside a separate county system — creating coverage gaps, redundancy, and inconsistent resident alerting during emergencies. An overdue Emergency Operations Plan review and significant hazard exposure compound the compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget includes explicit line items for emergency notification improvements, signaling near-approved funding and a clear procurement window. Acting now aligns with budget timing, reduces federal funding risk tied to the overdue EOP review, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next hazard season.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city's web presence meets WCAG 2.0 but must achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance by 2028, and a recent audit identified a material weakness in internal controls. Website accessibility compliance and digital public-meeting modernization are active strategic priorities under new City Manager leadership.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG 2.1 AA deadline and the FY2027 budget hearing on September 16, 2026 create a near-term window to advance this initiative with executive sponsorship in place. Acting now reduces regulatory and audit risk while expanding equitable digital access for all residents.
Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Vehicle Accountability
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks verified fleet-wide dash cameras and telematics, creating a critical evidence and accountability gap—particularly for police vehicles. Citywide insurance costs have surged over 65% across two fiscal years, underscoring the financial and operational risk of this unaddressed gap.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes targeted increases for public safety and public works, creating a timely funding pathway for fleet technology investment. Active fleet replacement and public-safety facility improvement initiatives signal existing momentum that can accelerate adoption and reduce long-term liability costs.

Discuss this project →Citywide IT Infrastructure and Endpoint Modernization
IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified citywide IT modernization and digital permitting as explicit strategic priorities, with active spending increases in IT maintenance and software capital outlay signaling a recognized capability gap. A material weakness in internal controls flagged by a recent audit elevates operational and compliance risk across city departments.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle—with a public hearing on September 16, 2026—presents a direct funding window to advance IT management modernization. The JAG Local Formula grant may offer a supplemental funding pathway for criminal-justice-aligned IT tools, and acting now positions the city to remediate audit findings before the next review cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's IT environment lacks a confirmed enterprise cybersecurity or password management solution, creating ambiguity around credential security and access controls. While no explicit mandates are currently documented, the active citywide IT modernization initiative and ongoing software maintenance spending signal a timely discovery opportunity.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget includes increased software capital outlay, and a restricted federal grant may offer a funding pathway for cybersecurity tools tied to criminal justice systems pending eligibility verification. Addressing credential and access management gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the city ahead of emerging compliance requirements.
