Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, no outdoor warning system, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises despite recurring severe weather events. A recent consolidation of Police Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator responsibilities signals a pivotal shift in preparedness priorities and accountability.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle includes $6M in approved tax notes for public safety and infrastructure, alongside a $300K hazard mitigation grant, creating direct funding alignment. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational and liability risk while positioning the city for compliance and community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently operates two separate mass notification platforms, creating redundancy, inconsistent resident outreach, and operational inefficiency during incidents. This fragmented ecosystem elevates response risk and undermines reliable emergency communication for staff and the public.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–27 budget cycle, combined with approved public safety funding and a recent consolidation of emergency management leadership, creates a timely window to unify notification infrastructure. Acting now reduces operational risk, improves incident response, and aligns with available funding before the fiscal cycle closes.

Cybersecurity & Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The police department faces active CJIS audit findings requiring stronger security controls, while a stalled MFA rollout has left identity and access management work incomplete. Texas cybersecurity training mandates add further compliance pressure, creating measurable operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
With an active FY2026–27 budget cycle, approved public safety funding, and DOJ grant programs supporting law enforcement technology, the conditions to resolve these compliance gaps are in place now. Addressing audit findings and completing the identity management initiative reduces liability and protects sensitive criminal justice data.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active website migration with a confirmed April 2027 ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline. Gaps across public-facing digital portals create legal exposure and restrict equitable resident access to essential municipal services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline establishes a firm compliance driver, and the website migration is already within the active FY2026-27 planning and budget cycle. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with available funding momentum and reduces legal and operational risk before the deadline.

Discuss this project →Citywide IT Modernization & Endpoint Lifecycle Upgrade
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city is executing a second phase of citywide PC and laptop replacements as part of a broader IT modernization initiative, with an expanded Technology Department software budget and annual IT spend exceeding $1M. Aging endpoints and fragmented device management create operational continuity risks and increase exposure to cybersecurity vulnerabilities across municipal departments.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–27 budget cycle includes approved funding for infrastructure and technology, making this an optimal window to advance endpoint lifecycle and management investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports cost-effective procurement, reduces operational risk, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to municipal entities.

Discuss this project →Fleet & Vehicle Safety Technology Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's liability insurance has risen nearly 25%, signaling elevated fleet-related risk exposure, underscored by a documented police pursuit crash. Fleet management and maintenance modernization are active strategic initiatives with software already budgeted, indicating readiness to act.
The opportunity
The current FY2026–27 budget cycle includes approved funding for public safety and infrastructure, creating a timely procurement window. Adopting risk-reducing fleet safety technology now can lower insurance exposure, improve driver accountability, and strengthen stewardship of public assets.
