Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly verified Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear emergency management ownership, and a 2023 exercise revealed active communication gaps and training deficiencies. Active mandates for Texas EOP compliance and NIMS alignment remain unresolved, creating measurable operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle, a recent leadership transition, and eligibility for federal emergency preparedness grants (EMPG, HSGP) create a near-term window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience. Acting now positions the city to secure available funding before the current grant cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city is under an active WCAG 2.1 remediation requirement with a compliance deadline of 2028, and a Website & Digital Services initiative is already underway. Gaps in accessible digital service delivery create legal exposure and limit equitable public access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a recent leadership transition create a timely window to advance accessibility remediation and consolidate fragmented digital tools. Cooperative purchasing is confirmed, streamlining procurement and supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance and IT Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city carries over $1.9M in annual IT and software spend across a fragmented technology environment, with a cybersecurity covered applications policy mandate whose compliance status remains unconfirmed. A funded networking and security hardware acquisition is underway, but consolidation gaps and unresolved compliance obligations elevate operational and audit risk.
The opportunity
An approved police technology grant provides a funded entry point for cybersecurity investment, and the current leadership transition opens a timely window for technology reassessment aligned with the FY2026–2027 budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing channels are already in use, reducing procurement friction and accelerating time to compliance.
Citywide Fleet Safety & Telematics Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
Non-police city fleets — including sanitation, streets, water, and heavy equipment — lack telematics coverage, creating gaps in incident documentation and liability claims management. With vehicle-based safety technology already accepted for police fleets, the operational and policy groundwork for broader deployment is in place.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a recent leadership transition create an immediate window to reassess fleet technology priorities, supported by a grant-funded roadway safety action plan and an active Vision Zero commitment. Expanding telematics now advances public safety outcomes, reduces claims exposure, and aligns with funded strategic initiatives already underway.
Endpoint & Identity Security Consolidation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's fragmented software ecosystem reveals gaps in unified endpoint monitoring and credential/identity protection, with cybersecurity policy compliance unconfirmed. These consolidation gaps elevate operational risk and leave critical systems and staff credentials potentially exposed.
The opportunity
The HSGP grant provides a named funding pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, and the active FY2026–2027 budget cycle—shaped by a recent leadership transition—creates an immediate window for technology reassessment. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit and compliance risk while strengthening citywide cyber resilience.
