Web Accessibility Compliance Before the 2027 Federal Deadline
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with no current plan or technology in place to meet it. An audit finding tied to Homeland Security Grant Program reporting further underscores the urgency of closing this compliance gap before it creates legal or funding risk.
The opportunity
With the 2027 deadline approaching and an IT leadership transition underway, there is a timely window to evaluate and implement a compliant accessibility solution. The City's established cooperative purchasing agreements and healthy IT budget support a streamlined procurement path within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Microtransit Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Transit Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks fleet telematics and dash cameras, relying on a fragmented GPS ecosystem that cannot support modern safety or liability management. The launch of a new microtransit service amplifies fleet exposure, and rising insurance costs across liability, property, and workers' compensation signal growing operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 FTA grant program funds transit equipment including vehicle telematics, and the City's active microtransit launch positions it as a strong subrecipient candidate. With $9.83M in capital investments and a proposed $15M in certificates of obligation already signaling budget readiness, acting within the current grant cycle maximizes federal funding leverage and reduces local match burden. Cooperative purchasing channels further accelerate procurement timelines.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Modernization & Endpoint Protection Renewal
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City's cloud-based cybersecurity subscription expires in approximately 13 months, creating an urgent renewal and replacement decision window alongside an active citywide IT modernization effort. A recent audit deficiency in Homeland Security Grant Program reporting adds compliance pressure, while the vacant IT Director position introduces leadership and continuity risk.
The opportunity
Active funding allocations, cooperative purchasing agreements, and a defined subscription expiration create a clear, near-term window to modernize endpoint security and address audit findings. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and positions the City for stronger grant reporting and operational resilience.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks an enterprise credential and identity management solution despite an active cybersecurity mitigation project and ongoing IT modernization. A vacant IT Director position heightens the risk of unmanaged credential sprawl, increasing exposure to unauthorized access and security incidents during the leadership gap.
The opportunity
The current IT leadership transition and active cybersecurity modernization effort create a natural window to close identity management gaps before they compound. The City's established cooperative purchasing relationships and healthy IT spend support a timely, low-friction procurement path aligned with the ongoing fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City lacks a municipal-specific emergency operations plan and relies on a regional notification system without a dedicated contract, leaving critical gaps in coordinated response. Recent incidents—including an industrial fire and a city-wide communications outage—have exposed life-safety risks, and an audit finding tied to Homeland Security Grant Program reporting adds a compliance dimension.
The opportunity
The City's strong financial position, established grant award history, and existing Homeland Security compliance drivers create a well-timed case for investment in formal emergency management infrastructure. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational and audit risk while positioning the City to leverage available federal preparedness funding with limited local match.
