Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass-notification system is too slow for severe-weather warnings, and operating two separate platforms creates critical gaps in coordinated public alerting. Recent flooding incidents have exposed these deficiencies, and the Emergency Operations Plan's review status remains unverified, compounding preparedness and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget includes increased public safety spending, and active regional emergency-notification planning creates a near-term window for consolidation. Addressing this now reduces operational risk, supports EOP compliance, and positions the city to act within the current budget cycle before the next severe-weather season.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan has an unverified review date, making compliance with current emergency management mandates unconfirmable. Recent severe weather and flash flooding events expose the operational and legal risk of maintaining an unvalidated plan.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle includes public safety allocations, creating a timely window to fund a formal EOP review. Addressing this gap now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Texas mandates annual cybersecurity training and certification with explicit requirements around credential and password security, creating a hard compliance deadline. A DHS audit identified cybersecurity backup deficiencies, signaling broader identity and access management gaps that elevate operational and security risk citywide.
The opportunity
The FY2026–27 budget includes increased IT allocations, and an adjacent citywide access-control refresh strengthens the overall identity security business case. Addressing credential management now satisfies the annual state mandate, reduces audit exposure, and aligns with active budget planning cycles.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a Fleet Services division with over 420 vehicles but lacks telematics, dash cameras, GPS tracking, and driver-safety monitoring. Recent incidents—including a ladder truck collision and multiple insurance claims—underscore the liability and operational risk created by this gap.
The opportunity
FY2026-27 budget planning is actively underway with a dedicated fleet shop allocation, and a federal grant opportunity targeting intelligent fleet technology may offset costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to reduce liability, improve driver accountability, and advance a named strategic initiative.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an imminent firewall licensing and support renewal deadline of December 1, 2026, alongside DHS-identified cybersecurity backup deficiencies. FY2026-27 budget allocations for network infrastructure and endpoint refreshes confirm recognized gaps that carry operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The December 2026 firewall renewal creates a hard near-term decision window, and the active FY2026-27 budget cycle includes confirmed IT spending increases. Addressing infrastructure and endpoint gaps now reduces audit exposure and aligns with allocated public funds already approved for this purpose.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active compliance gap under the Federal ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate, with ongoing document accessibility remediation needed across its incumbent CMS platform. Non-compliance carries legal exposure and limits equitable public access to city services and information.
The opportunity
With a website accessibility improvement effort already designated as an active FY2027 strategic initiative, the groundwork for targeted remediation is in place without requiring a full platform migration. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces legal risk and advances equitable digital service delivery for all residents.
