Cybersecurity & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active compliance mandates around cybersecurity and password control, compounded by end-of-life Microsoft Office infrastructure requiring MFA and a formalized security policy. No incumbent solution is in place, leaving credentials and city systems exposed to preventable risk.
The opportunity
FY26 budget allocations target cybersecurity policy, and the FY27 hearing includes $2.9M in new IT requests — with cooperative purchasing available to streamline procurement. Recent leadership transitions and a greenfield environment create an immediate, low-friction window to act before the next budget cycle closes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a significant backlog of end-of-life IT equipment and an aging help desk environment, creating operational risk and cybersecurity exposure. Active procurement signals and budget-approved initiatives confirm urgency around hardware refresh, IT management improvements, and strengthening security controls across city systems.
The opportunity
With $2.9M in new IT requests heading into the FY27 budget cycle and FY26 allocations already designated for EOL replacement, the procurement window is open now. Recent leadership transitions and a greenfield technology environment create favorable conditions for advancing modernization priorities. Cooperative purchasing programs available to Texas municipalities can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-deployment, while the city's $5.3M+ annual IT spend signals institutional capacity to execute. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with approved budget authority and reduces compounding operational and compliance risk.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Development and Formalization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan despite active disaster declarations, including ongoing response to Tropical Storm Edouard. This gap creates significant operational and compliance risk, leaving residents and staff without a formalized preparedness and response framework during active emergencies.
The opportunity
Active disaster response, new leadership, and an approaching budget cycle create a strategic window to formalize emergency preparedness infrastructure now. An IT Assistance grant may partially offset connectivity-related costs, and aligning this effort with FY planning supports long-term funding continuity and resident safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a unified mass notification system, a critical gap exposed by active disaster response to Tropical Storm Edouard and recent disaster declarations. Without reliable resident and staff communication, operational risk and public safety exposure remain unacceptably high.
The opportunity
New city leadership and upcoming FY26/FY27 budget cycles create a timely window to address this greenfield need with no incumbent to displace. An IT Assistance grant offers a partial funding pathway, and acting now reduces emergency communication risk ahead of the next severe weather event.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Technology & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks documented fleet safety tools—including dash-cams and telematics—and has no evidence of formal internal fleet safety reviews. This gap leaves the city exposed to preventable liability and operational risk, with no data-driven visibility into fleet performance or driver behavior.
The opportunity
Fleet management initiatives are budget-approved, and cooperative purchasing programs available in Texas can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Addressing this gap now supports responsible stewardship of public assets, aligns with the upcoming FY27 budget cycle, and positions the city ahead of potential liability exposure.

Discuss this project →City Website Revamp & Digital Services Modernization
Digital Services · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified strategic initiatives to modernize its public-facing website and expand digital services, including electronic signatures, with partial accessibility compliance efforts underway. Without a fully modernized platform, the city risks falling short of accessibility mandates and limiting residents' equitable access to essential services.
The opportunity
With a robust IT budget and an upcoming FY27 budget cycle already signaling significant new technology investment, this is an optimal window to advance digital modernization priorities. Addressing accessibility compliance and service delivery gaps now strengthens public trust and aligns with the city's broader IT modernization goals.
