Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Public Warning Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including an unverified EOP, no identified emergency management coordinator, and a reported 9-1-1 communication failure — that conflict with NIMS compliance requirements and regional hazard mitigation participation mandates. These gaps expose residents and staff to elevated operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant programs provide direct funding paths for EOP modernization and public warning infrastructure, with upcoming budget hearings and transitional city leadership creating a timely window for re-evaluation. Acting now aligns with the regional Hazard Mitigation Plan update cycle and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.
Modernizing Police In-Car Computing & Endpoint Security
Public Safety Technology · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The City has authorized $163K for police in-car mobile computing, signaling an immediate procurement need across public safety operations. A prior ransomware attack underscores unresolved endpoint vulnerabilities, elevating operational and cybersecurity risk for officers and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
Budget hearings are imminent and funding is already proposed, creating a narrow, high-urgency window to act within the current fiscal cycle. The BJA JAG Program offers a direct federal funding path for public safety technology, and streamlined co-op procurement options reduce administrative burden for eligible jurisdictions.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A prior ransomware attack has exposed critical gaps in the City's cybersecurity posture, particularly around endpoint management and credential security across city IT operations. While cybersecurity training compliance is in place, password management controls and endpoint protections remain insufficient, elevating risk to city systems and public data.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program offers a strong direct funding path for cybersecurity improvements, and upcoming budget hearings create a near-term window for action. Addressing these gaps now reduces ransomware exposure, supports operational continuity, and positions the City to responsibly steward public resources.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City has committed to WCAG 2.0 website accessibility but faces an approaching WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Existing document workflows and the current CMS platform present unresolved accessibility gaps that affect residents who rely on digital services.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 deadline creates a near-term, non-discretionary compliance driver aligned with upcoming budget hearings, making this an actionable priority within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing document and web accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and supports stewardship of public-facing services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City operates aging fire apparatus with documented camera issues and no fleet-wide telematics or monitoring solution in place, creating measurable safety and operational risk. Without standardized monitoring, gaps in vehicle accountability and incident documentation expose the City to liability and service continuity concerns.
The opportunity
Upcoming budget hearings and an active co-op purchasing program provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path for fleet monitoring adoption. Addressing this gap now improves firefighter safety, strengthens operational oversight, and positions the City ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.
