Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is four years old—exceeding the standard review cycle—and documented mass notification failures during real incidents, combined with unresolved AAR/IP corrective actions and ongoing NIMS compliance mandates, present significant operational and public safety risk. A fragmented notification ecosystem further compounds response reliability gaps.
The opportunity
An active Hazard Mitigation Assistance RFQ closes September 10, 2026, and the FY 2026–2027 budget—featuring a 9.5% increase in Emergency Management funding—takes effect October 1, creating a defined window to advance this initiative with available and eligible funding. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the budget-approved new EOC construction.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The department has budget-approved plans to construct and modernize a new Emergency Operations Center as a cornerstone of its all-hazards management strategy. Existing incident command and coordination gaps, compounded by unresolved AAR corrective actions and an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 fiscal cycle begins October 1, 2026, creating a defined procurement window backed by a 9.5% increase in General Fund Emergency Management spending. Federal homeland security grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, and acting within the current budget cycle ensures alignment with approved capital priorities and reduces community risk.
FY 2026 HSGP
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Emergency Services
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a large emergency fleet without deployed dash cameras or telematics systems, creating gaps in driver behavior monitoring and evidence preservation. Documented fleet-involved accidents and internal safety reviews underscore the risk, while Fire and EMS fleet modernization is a top budget-approved strategic priority.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes significant capital outlay increases for Fire Services and EMS, creating a funded, near-term window for telematics deployment. Existing GIS infrastructure provides a strong integration path, and cooperative purchasing options can streamline procurement and accelerate implementation.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas cybersecurity mandates require documented training and password management controls by August 31, 2026. Despite a mature security environment, gaps in privileged credential management and endpoint oversight remain, elevating compliance and operational risk across city IT infrastructure.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline, active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, and eligibility under HSGP and BJA JAG grants create a defined window to close gaps with available funding. Cooperative purchasing membership further streamlines procurement for a timely, cost-effective resolution.
FY 2026 HSGP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2028, and current compliance gaps create legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. The existing third-party web platform environment requires targeted remediation to meet federal accessibility mandates and protect the entity from civil rights risk.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and a citywide IT and website modernization initiative create a favorable window to scope and fund accessibility remediation now, ahead of the 2028 deadline. Early action reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and allows costs to be distributed across fiscal cycles.
