Emergency Management Plan & EOC Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Conroe's Basic Emergency Management Plan is overdue, mass notification capabilities have identified gaps, and a fragmented coordination structure limits effective emergency response. An ongoing EOC feasibility study and absence of public after-action reviews compound operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, new leadership, and an active EOC feasibility study create a near-term window to advance planning and close critical gaps. Addressing these deficiencies now supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with available public safety funding pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's existing mass notification system has documented limitations in reach and reliability, reducing its effectiveness for alerting staff and residents during emergencies. These gaps contribute to a low emergency preparedness score and are recognized as active deficiencies in the city's overall emergency readiness posture.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and a recently closed VoIP RFP affecting Fire Department paging create immediate momentum for addressing notification infrastructure. Acting now aligns with the city's emergency management strategic initiative, supports compliance with preparedness mandates, and strengthens public safety outcomes before the next budget is adopted.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & IT Endpoint Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active compliance mandates for password management and cybersecurity training, with an annual IT spend exceeding $7 million and an evolving security infrastructure requiring complementary endpoint solutions. Gaps in credential governance and endpoint visibility elevate operational and audit risk across city departments.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes $974,029 approved for city-wide IT technology replacement, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG grant provides an eligible funding path for cybersecurity and information systems modernization. Acting within this procurement window aligns spending with compliance mandates and reduces exposure before the next budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a defined deadline, creating legal exposure and resident access risk across public-facing digital portals. The Website & Digital Services initiative reflects clear organizational intent, but remains unfunded, leaving compliance gaps unresolved.
The opportunity
The federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates an immediate decision window, and the upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a timely path to secure funding. Acting now reduces legal risk, improves equitable access to public services, and positions the city ahead of enforcement.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization for Fire Operations
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified operational gaps in fleet management including evidence and claims defense, apparatus downtime, and vehicle-operations pressure that elevate risk across Fire Department operations. Without telematics visibility, the city lacks the data needed to proactively manage safety, reduce liability exposure, and ensure apparatus readiness.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget includes $4.998M for Fire Department vehicle and equipment replacements, creating a direct funding alignment for fleet technology investment. Cooperative purchasing programs already in use can streamline procurement, accelerating implementation within the current budget cycle.
