Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City is actively replacing its incumbent mass notification platform following resident complaints about critical gaps in emergency communications. The transition is a top strategic priority, driven by operational failures and the discontinuation of the existing system, elevating risk to public safety and community trust.
The opportunity
FY 2026-27 budget funding is confirmed and a public hearing is set for September 1, 2026, opening an immediate procurement window. Acting now ensures continuity of emergency communications, addresses documented service gaps, and aligns with the City's highest-urgency infrastructure initiative.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan and has outsourced emergency management governance to the county, leaving residents without reliable official communication during incidents. NIMS adoption mandates remain unmet at the city level, creating measurable compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget includes increased public safety spending, and a new City Administrator creates a timely opening to formalize emergency management governance. Acting now aligns with NIMS compliance requirements and positions the City to pursue available public safety funding before the fiscal window closes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City operates a fragmented cybersecurity environment across multiple IT and security platforms, creating consolidation gaps and elevated risk exposure. A Texas state mandate requires annual cybersecurity training and local-government compliance certification due by August 31, 2026, making remediation both a compliance and operational priority.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget includes a confirmed 220% increase in the Technology Replacement Fund—totaling $431,600—providing a clear, funded path to act now. Addressing endpoint resilience and credential security before the August 2026 certification deadline reduces audit risk and strengthens the City's overall security posture.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City has approved a strategic initiative to replace aging infrastructure, with $327,000 dedicated to server refreshes in FY 2026-27 — part of a 220% increase in the Technology Replacement Fund. A fragmented environment of siloed monitoring, backup, and storage tools creates operational risk and complicates compliance with state cybersecurity mandates.
The opportunity
Funding is approved and a public budget hearing is set for September 1, 2026, creating an immediate procurement window. Cooperative purchasing memberships are in place to streamline acquisition, and acting now reduces compliance exposure while consolidating a split IT ecosystem for long-term operational efficiency.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The City has active initiatives for website accessibility compliance and digital communications modernization, driven by an approaching WCAG 2.1 federal deadline. Without a dedicated solution in place, the City faces legal exposure, inequitable resident access, and operational risk as the compliance window narrows.
The opportunity
The April 26, 2027 WCAG 2.1 deadline creates a defined, non-negotiable compliance window, and the FY 2026-27 budget includes website renewal funding as a potential vehicle. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the City to meet mandates, improve public-facing services, and explore conditional grant eligibility for accessible digital services.
