Emergency Operations Plan Update & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Cumby's Emergency Management Plan has not been updated since 2003, creating significant operational, legal, and liability exposure for the city and its residents. County-level disaster risk assessments have flagged elevated hazard exposure for Cumby, and the current standalone mass-notification system presents a consolidation gap in unified emergency response capability.
The opportunity
Active participation in the Hazard Mitigation Plan update signals leadership readiness and near-term investment appetite, while an existing funded budget line for mass notification supports a consolidation path. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Texas municipalities can accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle, reducing time-to-compliance and community risk.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a firm April 26, 2028, mandate to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility compliance, while an active municipal website modernization initiative is underway. Fragmented online payment portals compound the challenge, creating equity, usability, and compliance risks for residents accessing public services digitally.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline establishes a clear, time-bound planning window, and the city's ongoing website review signals active readiness to act. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may simplify procurement, and this initiative aligns with current fiscal planning cycles for maximum funding efficiency.

About this project
The Police Department operates under active FBI CJIS Security Policy requirements, creating documented and ongoing cybersecurity obligations. Gaps in endpoint management and access controls elevate the risk of non-compliance, data exposure, and potential loss of system access critical to law enforcement operations.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is explicitly aligned with law enforcement cybersecurity and technology improvements, offering a viable funding path. A proposed increase in Police Department revenue provides additional budget flexibility, making this an opportune moment to act ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Police Department has documented GPS unit deployment gaps and a historical pedestrian fatality involving a department vehicle, establishing clear operational and preventive urgency for fleet safety improvements. A GPS tracking initiative is already an active strategic priority, signaling leadership commitment to addressing these risks.
The opportunity
A proposed Police Department budget increase provides near-term funding flexibility, and the PROTECT grant offers a conditional path forward when framed within a transportation resilience context. Acting within the current planning cycle advances officer accountability, reduces liability exposure, and strengthens public safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The Police Department operates under active FBI CJIS Security Policy requirements, creating a documented, non-negotiable mandate for credential and identity access management controls. Without formalized IAM practices, the department faces audit exposure, access control gaps, and elevated risk to sensitive law enforcement data.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Justice Assistance Grant is directly applicable to law enforcement cybersecurity and technology improvements, offering a viable funding path. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to the city can streamline procurement and accelerate implementation within the current fiscal planning cycle.
