Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and recently transitioned mass notification platforms, creating potential resident reach gaps during emergencies. Wildfire exposure and a standing mandate to maintain an emergency management plan compound the compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A dedicated $34,200 public safety technology budget is in place, FY 2026–27 planning is active, and grant funding for emergency communications is available—making the next 90 days a critical window. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with incoming leadership priorities.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a firm April 26, 2028 deadline, and current public-facing portals show documented accessibility gaps. Failure to remediate risks legal exposure, inequitable service delivery, and disruption to ongoing digital modernization efforts including utility billing.
The opportunity
FY 2026–27 budget planning is actively underway, creating a timely window to fund remediation before the compliance deadline. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal and audit risk, advances equitable public service delivery, and aligns with the City's broader digital modernization priorities.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces mounting fire vehicle repair overruns and a growing maintenance backlog, with no telematics tools in place to track vehicle utilization, condition, or incident data. This visibility gap increases operational risk, strains public safety resources, and limits data-driven decision-making for fleet stewardship.
The opportunity
FY 2026–27 budget planning, with a focus on infrastructure and public safety, creates a timely opening to fund fleet technology; the Low or No Emission Grant Program offers an additional funding pathway. Acting now positions the City to reduce repair overruns, improve vehicle readiness, and strengthen accountability over public assets.

Discuss this project →Public Safety Technology Infrastructure for Police Reinstatement
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City is actively evaluating reinstatement of its Police Department, creating immediate demand for a public safety technology foundation with no incumbent systems in place. New executive leadership is driving re-evaluation of operational capabilities, and the FY 2026-27 budget cycle reflects a clear infrastructure and public safety priority.
The opportunity
FY 2026-27 budget planning and available grant pathways — including emergency communications funding — support near-term investment in public safety technology. Acting now allows the City to build a compliant, scalable foundation aligned with both the department reinstatement timeline and cooperative procurement options already available to the City.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City has an unfunded five-year ICT modernization plan identifying critical gaps in IT networks, cybersecurity, and technology lifecycle replacement. Without dedicated funding, the gap between strategic intent and operational reality exposes the City to growing security and continuity risk.
The opportunity
FY 2025-26 budget-backed technology spending creates a near-term window to advance priority modernization initiatives, and recent leadership transitions signal openness to accelerating cybersecurity and network upgrades. Cooperative purchasing membership further streamlines procurement and supports responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Utility Billing Modernization & Digital Access Compliance
Digital Services · Web Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The City is modernizing its online utility billing system as part of a broader digital services initiative, building on an existing platform foundation. A WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a firm deadline creates urgency to ensure public-facing services are accessible to all residents.
The opportunity
This project aligns directly with FY 2026–27 infrastructure budget priorities, creating a timely window to consolidate digital service improvements and meet accessibility mandates in a single initiative. Acting now reduces compliance risk and expands equitable resident access to essential city services.
