Unify Emergency Notifications and Strengthen EOP Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates fragmented emergency notification systems — separate platforms at the city and county level — while the EOP's review status is unknown, creating compliance exposure under Texas EOP mandates and NIMS adoption requirements. A recent severe weather declaration and documented natural disaster vulnerability heighten the operational and public safety risk of inaction.
The opportunity
A confirmed budget and software decision window in September 2026 creates an immediate planning trigger, supported by an existing emergency management tech budget and the city's participation in active county hazard mitigation efforts. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing EOP compliance now reduces risk, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a defined deadline of April 26, 2027, requiring accessible digital services for all residents. Evaluation is still in early stages, meaning procurement must accelerate to allow sufficient time for implementation before the deadline.
The opportunity
With the April 2027 compliance deadline approaching, the current fiscal window is the critical period to plan, procure, and implement. An improving budget outlook—supported by stronger tax allocations—provides the flexibility to fund this initiative while cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline procurement.

Public Safety IT · Law Enforcement Technology
High Priority
About this project
The police department is actively evaluating an IT support agreement amid significant leadership turnover, creating both urgency and opportunity to reassess existing systems. CJIS compliance obligations and reliance on fragmented IT support elevate operational and security risk for law enforcement personnel and the public they serve.
The opportunity
A September 2026 budget decision window and an active IT agreement consideration make this a near-term, high-priority action. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly supports technology and information system improvements, offering a viable funding path aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · Law Enforcement Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The police department operates under mandatory CJIS cybersecurity obligations, yet no credential management controls have been identified in the current environment. This gap exposes the department to compliance risk and potential unauthorized access to sensitive law enforcement systems and data.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant explicitly permits cybersecurity and technology-improvement expenditures, offering a confirmed funding pathway with an active application window. Recent leadership transitions within the department create a timely opening to advance credential security initiatives ahead of the upcoming budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Visibility & Vehicle Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety Operations
High Priority
About this project
Gaps in fleet visibility and maintenance oversight create accountability and operational risk, particularly as police vehicle capital needs approach. Existing partial fleet technology adoption leaves evidence and maintenance control uncertain, exposing the agency to liability and inefficiency.
The opportunity
An improving budget outlook and pending police vehicle capital decisions open a near-term procurement window to address fleet gaps proactively. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to the city can streamline acquisition and reduce procurement timelines within the upcoming fiscal cycle.
