Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following a fatal fire department vehicle accident, the City faces active litigation and a 30–40% insurance premium increase driven by a rising claims modifier. Vehicle telematics adoption is a named strategic priority for Police and EMS fleets, with expanded need across water/wastewater and ongoing vehicle replacement programs.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, with a public hearing on September 3, 2026, creates an immediate decision window to address safety liability and reduce long-term insurance costs. The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program represents a potential funding pathway when scoped within a broader transportation resilience initiative.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces unconfirmed EOP currency, fragmented mass notification capabilities, and recurring flooding events that strain operations and public safety response. An updated FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan signals active compliance obligations, and gaps in preparedness infrastructure elevate risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Dedicated public safety and emergency management grants—alongside a $52K annual technology allocation—create a near-term funding pathway. With the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and a Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update underway, acting now aligns investment with compliance timelines and strengthens community resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City currently operates a fragmented mass notification environment across multiple platforms with an unresolved contract status on its primary system, limiting cohesive emergency communications. Recurring flooding events elevate the urgency of reliable public alerting, and gaps in the Emergency Operations Plan compound operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and an active public safety grant window create a near-term decision point for consolidating notification infrastructure. Addressing this now reduces redundancy, strengthens emergency response for residents, and aligns with FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan compliance requirements.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has made recent cybersecurity investments but retains gaps in credential management and endpoint oversight, with documented ransomware exposure elevating operational and data security risk. These vulnerabilities threaten continuity of public services and staff systems amid an active IT infrastructure modernization effort.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program (up to $4.9M) explicitly supports IT management and cybersecurity investments, offering a significant funding path with an upcoming decision window tied to the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces breach risk, strengthens compliance posture, and aligns with the City's broader infrastructure modernization priorities.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring accessible public-facing digital portals for all residents. Gaps in document accessibility and digital content management elevate legal and equity risk if remediation planning is not initiated promptly.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined planning window, and the upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents an immediate opportunity to fund remediation efforts. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to the City can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-compliance.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The City has an active FY 2026 initiative to modernize core IT infrastructure—including phone systems and computer replacements—within an existing Microsoft 365 and Surface Pro environment. Without unified endpoint management and monitoring, the evolving IT stack presents growing operational and cybersecurity risk to city services and staff.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, with a public hearing on September 3, 2026, creates an immediate decision window, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program is an identified funding source for IT management initiatives. Acting now aligns modernization investments with budget planning and reduces operational exposure across city departments.
