Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Coordination Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A voided EOP project and documented coordination failures during a July 2026 flood—including inconsistent call sheets and over-reliance on social media for critical alerts—have exposed significant operational and public safety gaps. The recent hire of a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator signals institutional readiness to address these risks.
The opportunity
Active FY 2027 budget planning and budget-approved funding for strategic initiatives—including EOC coordination—create a high-confidence window to act now. Addressing these gaps reduces public safety risk, strengthens compliance posture, and aligns with capital improvement priorities including planned infrastructure investment.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture and Endpoint Control
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active compliance mandates require annual cybersecurity training and improved password management, while an aging endpoint security tool leaves the city's systems exposed. Without modernization, the entity faces elevated risk of breach, audit findings, and disruption to critical public services.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget planning is underway, with approved increases in IT software, equipment, and professional services totaling over $1.5M in new capacity. Acting now aligns procurement with the active budget cycle, advances compliance, and reduces operational risk to city staff and residents.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with current accessibility and web tools split across separate platforms, creating redundancy and consolidation risk. This fragmented approach complicates compliance tracking and undermines equitable access to public-facing digital services for residents.
The opportunity
Active FY 2027 budget planning and growing IT investment create a strong decision window to consolidate digital accessibility tools before the compliance deadline. Addressing this now reduces audit and legal exposure while advancing the city's strategic goal of improving citizen engagement through accessible, unified digital services.
Fleet Modernization and Vehicle Telematics Upgrade
Fleet Management · Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified fleet modernization as a budget-approved strategic initiative, with field vehicles operating within a connected infrastructure environment that includes GIS and traffic control assets. While no active safety incidents are on record, the absence of telematics data collection limits visibility into vehicle performance, route efficiency, and long-term risk management.
The opportunity
The city has applied for the SS4A FY 2026 Implementation Grant, which supports roadway safety improvements and data-driven traffic initiatives, offering a viable funding pathway. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle aligns fleet investment with approved strategic priorities and strengthens the case for responsible stewardship of public assets.

IT Modernization · Managed Services
High Priority
About this project
The IT Department has completed foundational infrastructure and security improvements but faces ongoing operational demands requiring scalable, managed support for endpoints and city systems. Continued investment in software maintenance, equipment, and professional services signals persistent gaps in resource optimization and long-term operational resilience.
The opportunity
With FY 2027 budget planning actively underway and over $2.6M in annual IT spend already committed, this is an optimal window to align managed services investments with approved funding and strategic IT goals. Acting now supports continuity, strengthens cybersecurity posture, and maximizes stewardship of public technology resources.
