Emergency Management & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented mass notification system across multiple platforms, creating service gaps and consolidation risk during critical incidents. Outdated emergency plans, communication outages during severe weather, and ongoing NIMS/ICS compliance mandates elevate operational and regulatory exposure for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget—with a vote scheduled for September 8, 2026—includes increased public safety spending, creating a near-term funding window aligned with this project. Acting now supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage cooperative purchasing agreements already in place.
Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline by 2028 for all public-facing digital portals and documents, creating measurable legal and equity risk if remediation is not planned now. Current document creation workflows offer a viable starting point, but a structured accessibility program is needed to close gaps and ensure equitable citizen access to public services.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget vote on September 8, 2026 represents a near-term funding window to initiate phased accessibility remediation before costs and risk escalate. Early action supports compliance, reduces legal exposure, and ensures all residents can access city services equitably.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has experienced eight fleet-involved accidents since 2024, including preventable driver-error incidents and identified coverage gaps across non-police vehicles. An existing GPS foundation on 42 devices and a recently approved Enterprise Fleet Management initiative signal readiness to expand, but gaps in coverage continue to elevate liability and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Infrastructure Programs explicitly includes fleet management and vehicle safety systems as eligible technology, offering a direct funding path. Acting within the current budget cycle—ahead of the FY 2026–2027 budget vote—positions the city to reduce preventable incidents and strengthen driver accountability citywide.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city is advancing workstation upgrades, virtual infrastructure improvements, VoIP modernization, and cybersecurity hardening, while current endpoint management and password governance gaps present unaddressed compliance and operational risk. Without structured controls, public-facing systems and staff data remain vulnerable to disruption or breach.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget includes over $380,000 for IT equipment and cybersecurity upgrades, with a budget vote on September 8, 2026 representing a critical near-term funding window. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Local Formula grant may also support criminal justice-related IT improvements, expanding available funding pathways.
