Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, city-level mass notification control, and documented HSEEP-style exercises — gaps made visible by a recent boil-water advisory. NIMS compliance mandates and reliance on county-only systems elevate both regulatory and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
FEMA EMPG FY2026 directly funds this type of preparedness initiative, and the approved FY2026/2027 budget includes Public Safety allocations — creating a rare alignment of grant eligibility and local funding. Acting now addresses compliance urgency, strengthens city-level response capacity, and reduces liability before the next incident.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city relies on county-operated mass notification without independent control, creating critical gaps during localized emergencies. A recent boil-water advisory exposed the operational risk of fragmented, externally managed communications—leaving residents vulnerable when timely, city-directed alerts are most needed.
The opportunity
FEMA EMPG FY2026 and JAG grant funding are directly aligned to this need, offering a viable path with limited local match required. Acting within the current budget cycle—with an approved two-year CIP and dedicated Public Safety millage—positions the city to close compliance and preparedness gaps while strengthening resident safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has documented WCAG/ADA compliance gaps with a past remediation deadline and no corrective plan in place, creating significant legal and operational exposure. Fragmented document management compounds the risk, and the DDA Board has already approved motions to address ADA compliance, signaling active procurement intent.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026/2027 budget and active DDA contracting discussions create a clear, near-term procurement window to remediate compliance gaps and improve equitable digital access for residents. Addressing this now reduces legal liability, supports public transparency goals, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's active fleet expansion—including ambulance and patrol vehicle acquisitions—lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating significant liability exposure in the event of incidents. An existing driver alerting system signals awareness of the gap but leaves critical visibility and accountability needs unaddressed.
The opportunity
Fleet telematics is already budgeted within the FY2026/2027 Capital Improvement Plan, and the JAG grant program is identified as an eligible matching funding source. Acting within this fiscal window allows the city to reduce liability risk, strengthen public safety operations, and maximize available funding.
IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city's approved FY2026/2027 budget includes dedicated line items for server replacement and equipment upgrades, signaling active investment in IT infrastructure. Without confirmed cybersecurity controls, aging systems and credential vulnerabilities pose operational and compliance risk to city services and public data.
The opportunity
Budgeted two-year funding provides a near-term, defined window to advance endpoint management and credential security initiatives, with secondary eligibility through FEMA EMPG FY2026 and JAG. Early planning is critical given formal bid requirements at the $5,000 threshold, making current fiscal-year engagement strategically important.
