Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks an active Emergency Operations Plan, has undefined emergency management leadership, and has experienced critical mass notification outages — creating significant operational and compliance risk. An overdue EOP review is flagged as an urgent mandate, leaving residents and staff without a reliable emergency response framework.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes $1.8 million allocated for a joint dispatch center becoming operational in late summer 2026, with a budget enactment deadline of September 23, 2026 — creating a near-term funding window. Addressing the EOP gap now aligns with compliance mandates, supports dispatch center readiness, and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.
Regional Unified Dispatch Center & 911 PSAP Modernization
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The city is advancing a strategic initiative to establish a Regional Unified Dispatch Center and modernize its 911 PSAP infrastructure. Current emergency notification systems are fragmented across multiple platforms, creating integration gaps, reliability risks, and operational vulnerabilities that directly affect public safety response.
The opportunity
With the dispatch center targeted to go live in late summer 2026 and $1.8 million explicitly allocated in the FY 2026–2027 budget, this is an active, funded procurement window. Acting now ensures systems are integrated, tested, and compliant before go-live, reducing operational risk and protecting the public investment already committed.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently operates fragmented mass notification platforms, with a documented past critical outage that exposed gaps in reliable emergency communications. Consolidation is needed to unify police-alert and city-wide notifications under a single, resilient system ahead of a regional dispatch center go-live.
The opportunity
The upcoming joint dispatch center activation in late summer 2026 and a September 23, 2026 budget deadline create a defined window for action. Cooperative purchasing memberships are in place to streamline procurement, and the project aligns with the FY 2026–2027 capital budget cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Camera Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an evidence and accountability gap due to unverified fleet camera and telematics installation, creating significant asset exposure and general liability risk. An ALPR camera initiative and fleet safety technology deployment are underway, but gaps in verification and coverage leave the city operationally and legally vulnerable.
The opportunity
FY 2026–2027 budget approval for fleet safety technology expansion confirms near-term procurement viability, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition. Acting now closes liability gaps, strengthens public safety accountability, and aligns with active capital investment momentum.
Cybersecurity Compliance & IT Governance Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates requiring verified training and password management controls, while an open IT Manager position leaves internal governance exposed. Fragmented tooling and an understaffed IT function elevate the risk of audit findings and service disruption.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG program offers a viable funding path for cybersecurity and IT management investments, and an incoming IT leader creates a natural evaluation window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns modernization with budget capacity and reduces standing compliance risk.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has committed to WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards but faces a compliance gap requiring an upgrade to WCAG 2.1 AA, creating legal exposure risk. Ongoing website and digital-document accessibility is a named strategic initiative, and failure to act leaves residents without equitable access to public services.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-2027 budget includes confirmed increases for a website module, creating a funded, low-friction path to close the compliance gap before the budget enactment deadline. Acting within this cycle reduces legal liability, advances equity mandates, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles already available to the city.
