Emergency Operations Plan Development and Local Preparedness Gap Closure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formal, city-level Emergency Operations Plan and has demonstrated reliance on county and state resources during recent flooding events. This gap creates measurable operational and compliance risk, leaving residents and staff without a structured local response framework during emergencies.
The opportunity
A newly onboarded Emergency Management Coordinator signals organizational readiness, and a dedicated public safety tech budget alongside available HSGP funding creates a well-aligned, near-term window for action. Addressing this gap now supports county-level hazard mitigation alignment and strengthens local emergency response before the next weather season.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a documented, city-level mass notification system, leaving residents and staff without reliable alerting during emergencies. The county's Hazard Mitigation Plan has already identified this gap, signaling a recognized and prioritized need for a dedicated local solution.
The opportunity
The county's Hazard Mitigation Plan and available HSGP grant funding create a clear, near-term procurement pathway with potential for limited local match. Acting within the current funding cycle strengthens community resilience, closes a documented preparedness gap, and aligns with responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented dash-cam and telematics coverage across its fleet, creating unaddressed liability exposure and preventive safety gaps. Recent capital equipment budget increases for Public Works vehicles and a potential police EV acquisition signal active fleet investment without supporting safety infrastructure.
The opportunity
The COPS TEP grant represents a direct and timely funding path for fleet telematics procurement, aligning with the current budget cycle and capital vehicle activity. Acting now enables the city to close safety and liability gaps, leverage cooperative purchasing for streamlined procurement, and maximize available grant dollars.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified compliance gaps in cybersecurity and password security, with budget increases allocated for computer-related equipment across City Hall and Police departments. An existing identity and access management environment may require hardening to meet current security standards and reduce exposure.
The opportunity
COPS TEP and HSGP funding sources align with this project, and recent budget activity signals an active spending window. Addressing these gaps proactively—before an incident or audit finding—protects public data, supports compliance, and makes efficient use of available grant resources.

IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
Rising budget allocations for computer equipment repairs across City Hall and Police departments signal aging endpoint infrastructure that may be increasing operational risk and unplanned costs. With limited annual IT and software investment, the city lacks a structured device lifecycle management approach, leaving staff productivity and data integrity vulnerable.
The opportunity
Active budget allocations create a near-term procurement window, and confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements reduce administrative burden and accelerate acquisition timelines. Addressing endpoint lifecycle management now supports operational continuity, aligns with current fiscal planning, and may reduce long-term repair and downtime costs for city departments.

Digital Accessibility · Resident Services
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active website usability improvement initiative but faces ongoing gaps in digital accessibility that create compliance exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limit equitable resident access to public services and information.
The opportunity
Accessibility compliance requirements create clear urgency, and this initiative is already an organizational priority, making the current fiscal cycle an ideal window to close gaps, reduce legal risk, and improve service delivery for all residents.
