Fleet Safety & Maintenance Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 2025 audit found fleet operations out of compliance with city policy, with unreliable maintenance data and missed service intervals directly threatening public safety. Recent police vehicle collisions have generated $210,000 in liability settlements and contributed to a projected $9.8M deficit in the city's self-insured liability fund.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget adoption window and active municipal fleet electrification and modernization initiatives create an immediate decision point for action. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement, and addressing audit findings now reduces ongoing liability exposure and aligns with the city's public safety stewardship obligations.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Audit findings have identified critical gaps in non-employee access controls and the timely disabling of separated users, creating measurable compliance and governance risk. With a new CISO onboarded in November 2025 and budget-approved capital initiatives totaling over $11M in FY 2027, the City has both the leadership mandate and funding foundation to address these vulnerabilities.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget adoption deadline of September 17, 2026 creates an immediate decision window, with capital allocations already approved for cybersecurity initiatives. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers up to $4.9M in potential federal funding for cybersecurity and endpoint management, and new IT leadership is actively shaping priorities — making this an optimal moment to act.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Replacement & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The City has approved a $31.712M IT Infrastructure Replacement initiative alongside a $2M Cloud Services & Operations Strategy, signaling a broad modernization of an aging IT footprint. Cybersecurity audit findings around access controls and endpoint governance, combined with incoming CIO leadership, elevate operational and compliance risk if action is deferred.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 capital budget is approved and the new CIO's arrival in May 2026 creates an immediate window to align modernization priorities. Cooperative purchasing vehicles reduce procurement complexity, and federal cybersecurity grant programs may offset costs, making this an optimal moment to advance endpoint and infrastructure outcomes.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City's Emergency Operations Plan is five years old and out of compliance with NIMS requirements, creating a direct operational and regulatory gap. Recent events including deadly flooding and home explosions in June 2025 have exposed the consequences of an outdated, unactionable EOP for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Federal homeland-security grants and nearly $10M in annual emergency management and public safety tech spending provide viable funding pathways, while the FY 2027 budget cycle and approved public safety infrastructure initiatives create a near-term decision window. Acting now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.
Flood Warning & Emergency Alert Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The June 2025 fatal flooding event exposed critical gaps in the City's flood warning infrastructure, including inactive flood gauges and insufficient integration with existing mass-notification systems. These deficiencies delayed actionable alerts to residents, creating immediate public safety risk and NIMS compliance exposure.
The opportunity
Federal homeland-security grants ($2.4M SHSP/UASI) and a budget-approved "public-warning and mass-notification readiness" initiative provide direct funding alignment ahead of the FY 2027 budget adoption. Addressing infrastructure gaps now reduces life-safety risk, strengthens compliance posture, and meets growing public and political urgency following the recent disaster.
Public Safety CAD System Modernization
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has allocated $3M in its FY 2027 budget to upgrade its computer-aided dispatch system supporting law enforcement and emergency services. Aging CAD infrastructure introduces operational risk to first responders and the communities they serve, making modernization a confirmed priority within a $29.1M law enforcement capital investment environment.
The opportunity
With budget adoption set for September 17, 2026, the procurement window is immediate and the funding is confirmed—reducing typical barriers to action. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline acquisition, and acting within this fiscal cycle ensures continuity of public safety operations without delay.
