Cybersecurity & Password Management Compliance Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
No cybersecurity or password management technology is currently in place, creating a direct gap against active Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and exposing the organization to credential-based security risks. The absence of foundational controls elevates operational and regulatory risk for staff, residents, and public data.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget includes a $67,000 increase in General Fund Administration technology spending, creating a near-term decision window. Federal grant programs, including HSGP and EMPG, offer eligible funding paths to address this compliance gap with limited impact on local funds.
Modernize Endpoint and IT Management Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity currently lacks documented endpoint or IT management capabilities, with annual IT and software spend of just $2,000—well below operational need. Active Texas cybersecurity compliance requirements and no technology in place elevate risk to continuity, data integrity, and public service delivery.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget includes a $67,000 increase in General Fund Administration technology spending, creating an immediate funding window. HSGP and EMPG grant programs offer additional eligible pathways, and cooperative procurement options simplify acquisition within the current budget cycle.
Consolidate Emergency Notification and EOC Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented mass notification systems and an unverified Emergency Operations Plan are creating measurable public safety and grant eligibility risks. Recent water system incidents without public after-action reviews further expose operational gaps in EOC coordination and community communication.
The opportunity
Active homeland security and emergency management grant programs offer viable funding paths for eligible jurisdictions acting within the current budget cycle. Resolving EOP status and unifying notification infrastructure now protects grant eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with FY 2026–2027 planning.
Fire Rescue Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety
Fleet Safety · Fire & Rescue Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Rescue fleet currently operates without dash cameras or telematics, creating an evidence and accountability gap during emergency-response driving. Active apparatus replacement and vehicle auction initiatives are underway, but lack a technology component to address safety tracking and operational accountability.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 Fire-rescue budget and identified grant programs—including AFG and the Rural VFD Assistance Program—provide viable funding paths with defined deadlines. Integrating telematics now, alongside active fleet replacement efforts, maximizes efficiency and reduces liability exposure for the department and the public it serves.
Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028 requires full web and document accessibility for public-facing digital services. While a new website has launched, unresolved document accessibility gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to government information.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline allows for phased remediation prioritized by risk severity, and purchases under $100,000 qualify for streamlined informal procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance progress, reduces legal risk, and ensures all residents can access public services equitably.
