Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active emergency preparedness gaps, including mass-notification transition risk, recent severe weather exposure, and questions around EOP currency and transparency. NIMS adoption and EOP maintenance are standing compliance mandates, while a Fire Department radio replacement and regional resiliency planning compound the modernization need.
The opportunity
A proposed $497k FY2027 budget increase for Fire and Emergency Management signals funded, near-term prioritization. Aligning modernization efforts now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens interoperability across public safety systems, and positions the city to leverage available state and federal grant funding.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active compliance mandates around password security and annual cybersecurity training, with endpoint management needs that remain unresolved. With over $2.2 million in dedicated IT funds and a recent $485K services approval, budget capacity exists—but gaps in tooling and training elevate operational and security risk.
The opportunity
A direct-allocation federal grant provides a near-term, actionable funding path for cybersecurity initiatives with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement planning with compliance deadlines and supports a formal bid process for purchases exceeding $50K.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with legal exposure and equity risks tied to inaccessible digital services. ADA Transition Plan consulting is already budgeted, and an existing CMS platform is in place, signaling readiness to act on accessibility gaps now.
The opportunity
A defined compliance deadline and dedicated consulting budget create a clear, time-bound procurement window ahead of the FY2027 planning cycle. Closing accessibility gaps reduces legal liability, broadens equitable resident access to city services, and aligns with active institutional funding commitments.
Fire Fleet Telematics & Emergency Vehicle Safety
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has sustained documented fleet accidents, including $64K in fire truck damage, significant auto liability insurance payouts, and a formal acknowledgment of liability risk tied to emergency vehicle operations. No Fire-specific telematics program is in place, leaving a critical gap in driver accountability and incident prevention.
The opportunity
Fire fleet capital replacement is an active, funded initiative, and the PROTECT grant offers a viable funding pathway for transportation resilience improvements. Addressing telematics now reduces liability exposure, supports safer emergency response, and aligns with the FY2027 budget increase proposed for Fire and Emergency Management.
PROTECT
Discuss this project →Password Security & Identity Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity Management
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity mandates require password security controls and annual staff training, creating a discrete, recurring compliance obligation for the city. Without a structured identity management program, the city faces audit exposure and elevated risk of credential-based incidents affecting city systems and residents.
The opportunity
BJA JAG funding is directly applicable to this cybersecurity workstream, offering an actionable path to implementation with limited impact on general fund resources. Acting within the current compliance cycle addresses the annual training deadline and positions the city ahead of audit and reporting requirements.
