Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a verified Emergency Operations Plan, relies on a county-level mass notification system not tailored to city residents, and has not conducted public after-action reviews following recent declared emergencies. Texas EOP compliance requirements and NIMS adoption mandates create regulatory pressure to close these gaps before the next incident.
The opportunity
FY2026 federal grant funding through EMPG and HSGP aligns directly with this initiative, offering a concrete path to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window positions the city to meet compliance mandates, strengthen community resilience, and reduce operational and liability risk.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city's current website platform lacks the infrastructure needed to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate due by 2028, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Without modernization, residents face limited access to city services and the city risks non-compliance penalties.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG deadline, combined with an announced citywide operational review, creates a defined and strategically aligned window to act. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable service delivery, reduces legal risk, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's active transition to a new water billing system and evaluation of cloud-based financial tools is expanding the attack surface, creating unaddressed credential and endpoint management exposure. While no formal cybersecurity mandate is in place, the pace of IT change introduces operational risk to critical municipal systems and resident data.
The opportunity
New leadership's announced operational review and active technology decision points create a near-term window to embed security controls before vulnerabilities compound. FY2026 EMPG and HSGP grant cycles offer secondary funding pathways, and aligning investments now supports responsible stewardship of public infrastructure during transition.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An evidence and accountability gap in fleet operations, combined with aging apparatus exposure, creates measurable risk for staff safety and public liability. Without telematics or driver monitoring in place, the city lacks the data needed to document incidents, manage risk, or support operational accountability.
The opportunity
New city leadership conducting a full departmental review creates a timely opening to advance fleet safety as a strategic priority. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and a phased approach aligns well with current budget planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical gaps in physical security across municipal facilities, with council-level discussions and partial budget approvals already underway for camera systems and secured access points. New leadership's operational review signals urgency to formalize and execute these improvements to protect staff, residents, and public assets.
The opportunity
Active budget approvals and a leadership-driven operational review create a near-term procurement window, with FY2026 grant opportunities such as EMPG and HSGP offering eligible funding paths. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns spending with approved priorities and reduces prolonged exposure at city facilities.
