Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is 4.1 years overdue for review, with documented gaps in mass notification including reliance on the county system, no automatic registration, and unguaranteed message delivery. Unmet mandates for plan maintenance, PIO certification, and lack of documented exercises elevate both compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The HMGP2 hazard-mitigation capital improvement project is an active top strategic priority, and the proposed FY2027 budget signals available funding including significant grant proceeds. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability exposure, satisfies emergency management mandates, and strengthens community resilience before the next fiscal cycle closes.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent serious fleet-involved accident and unresolved historical liability cases—lacking dash-camera or telematics evidence—expose the city to significant legal and financial risk. A 20.4% increase in budgeted police liability and property insurance underscores the cost of inaction across police, maintenance, code-enforcement, and utility fleets.
The opportunity
Upcoming FY2027 police vehicle lease renewals create an immediate procurement decision window, and the city's GPS adoption initiative is already partially budget-approved. Federal fleet electrification and bus facilities grants offer eligible funding pathways, making this a well-timed, fiscally responsible investment in public safety and operational accountability.
Low or No Emission Grant Program
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Identity Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active cybersecurity obligations including a password security deadline of August 31, 2026, an identity-theft prevention ordinance requiring specific controls, and an annual Texas cybersecurity training mandate. An existing audit backlog adds accountability pressure, and gaps in identity protection elevate risk to city systems and resident data.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget includes a $40,000 increase in Software/Computer Services, and federal justice assistance grant programs offer an indirect funding path for cybersecurity investments. Acting before the August 2026 deadline reduces compliance exposure and aligns with the current budget planning cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has a documented WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance requirement with an April 2028 deadline, alongside a strategic initiative for accessible electronic communications modernization. Failure to act proactively elevates legal and reputational risk and limits equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget includes a $40,000 increase for software and computer services, creating a near-term funding pathway for staged implementation. Acting now reduces compliance risk, supports equitable service delivery, and allows the city to avoid costly last-minute remediation before the 2028 deadline.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure and Software Spend Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's current IT and software spend of $71,367 reflects a lean infrastructure baseline, with a proposed $40,000 increase in FY2027 signaling recognized gaps. Prior leadership transitions contributed to an audit backlog, underscoring the need for stronger software management, oversight controls, and cybersecurity compliance—including an active password security deadline of August 31, 2026.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget—including $608,000 in General Fund grant proceeds and a $110,000 Ramp Grant—represents an active funding window for IT modernization. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the city to address compliance mandates, reduce operational risk, and establish sustainable infrastructure oversight.
