Emergency Management & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces documented preparedness gaps including an EOP of unknown age, conflicting mass notification systems, and no public after-action report from a statewide alert test. NIMS compliance adoption is required, and unresolved gaps elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Budget-approved EOC funding and active grant opportunities (JAG, AFG) provide a near-term funding path, while the FY2027 budget hearing and an upcoming Fire Chief transition create an immediate window for advancing emergency management priorities.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an August 31, 2026 Texas cybersecurity training mandate deadline alongside a recently expired password policy, signaling an active credentialing gap. Strategic priorities including penetration testing, incident response planning, and workforce development require coordinated action to reduce operational and compliance risk across a $1.7M annual IT environment.
The opportunity
With $237,000 in FY2027 high-priority IT funds and a November 2026 state cybersecurity grant deadline approaching, the window to act is immediate. Advancing this project now closes compliance gaps, strengthens endpoint and credential security, and positions the department to leverage available grant funding before the fiscal year closes.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with identified gaps in both website and document accessibility. Unresolved gaps elevate legal and regulatory exposure while limiting equitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
Early remediation reduces compliance risk ahead of the 2028 mandate and aligns with the upcoming FY2027 budget cycle, where IT priorities are actively under review. Existing website and document platforms provide a foundation for cost-effective remediation eligible for near-term budget allocation.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks documented dash cameras and telematics systems across its fleet, while significant repair costs and aging specialized assets signal growing operational and safety risk. Ongoing fleet expansion—including new refuse trucks funded by a $23M bond—creates an urgent need for integrated safety and tracking infrastructure.
The opportunity
New vehicle acquisitions tied to the $23M bond present a natural onboarding point for telematics, and cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed, streamlining procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle aligns fleet safety investments with approved capital spending and supports long-term cost containment for public works operations.
$23M Infrastructure Bond
Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates conflicting mass notification platforms with no designated primary system and no public after-action report from a statewide alert test. This fragmentation creates coordination and reliability risk during emergencies and undermines NIMS compliance obligations.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY2027 budget hearing and a Fire Chief leadership transition create a near-term window for system rationalization decisions. Emergency management grants such as JAG and AFG may offset consolidation costs, supporting both compliance and operational readiness.
