Emergency Notification Consolidation & EOC Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented emergency notification ecosystem across multiple platforms and outdoor sirens, with a documented system failure during a past deadly chemical release and an outdated public preparedness guide. Annual emergency management plan reviews are a compliance mandate, and the Emergency Operations Center expansion is actively being pursued amid recurring all-hazards exposure.
The opportunity
Emergency Management expenditures are increasing 9.5% in the proposed FY 2026–2027 budget, with adoption set for September 15, 2026—a critical near-term window to secure funding for consolidation and EOC initiatives. Addressing notification fragmentation now reduces operational risk, strengthens compliance posture, and improves coordinated response outcomes for residents.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active, past-due cybersecurity training mandate and a documented gap in password management controls, elevating both compliance and operational risk. With a citywide IT and information-security modernization initiative underway, unresolved vulnerabilities expose staff, systems, and public data to ongoing threat.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects a 16.4% increase in IT Services and an 89.6% increase in IT equipment maintenance, signaling strong financial intent. Two DOJ law enforcement grants—one requiring no local match—offer viable funding pathways. Acting now resolves an overdue compliance mandate and advances broader security modernization goals.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city is pursuing comprehensive modernization of IT infrastructure, network security, hardware, and endpoint management while actively seeking funding to support consolidation of overlapping tools. A recent failed software implementation has elevated operational risk and created urgency to evaluate and replace underperforming systems before the new fiscal year.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget—adopted September 15, 2026—reflects a 16.4% increase in IT Services and an 89.6% spike in equipment repair costs, signaling strong financial intent and a critical planning window. Acting now aligns with active cybersecurity compliance deadlines, cooperative purchasing availability, and the city's stated modernization priorities.
ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Modernization
ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active ADA Title II web accessibility mandate with a compliance deadline of April 2028, requiring updates to public-facing websites and hosted digital services. Funding for these initiatives has not yet been secured, creating risk of non-compliance and unequal access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget adoption presents a near-term window to secure funding before the fiscal year begins, avoiding a last-minute compliance scramble. Acting now allows the city to phase implementation responsibly, align with digital modernization goals, and ensure equitable public access well ahead of the 2028 deadline.
Police Fleet Replacement and Mobile Patrol Equipment Modernization
Public Safety · Fleet Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The police department has documented fleet-involved accidents and a rising workers' compensation budget, signaling operational safety risks. A strategic initiative for fleet replacement and mobile patrol equipment modernization has been formally identified, with budget already approved and procurement underway.
The opportunity
Budget approval is confirmed, and cooperative purchasing programs are in place to streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Available DOJ law enforcement grants—including one with no local match required—provide additional funding pathways to advance officer safety and operational readiness now.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
Documented fleet-involved accidents and an existing asset management system with GIS integration highlight operational gaps in fleet visibility and safety monitoring. Without telematics capabilities, the city faces continued exposure to preventable incidents, inefficient asset utilization, and limited data to support risk management decisions.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes fleet-related allocations, and established cooperative purchasing programs can accelerate procurement timelines and reduce administrative burden. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the city to leverage existing GIS and asset management infrastructure for a cost-effective, low-disruption implementation.
