Strengthen Privileged Access & Enterprise Cybersecurity Controls
Cybersecurity · Utility Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Following a cyber incident, the municipal electric utility faces urgent gaps in password, account, and privileged-access controls, compounded by ongoing NERC/CIP compliance obligations and open corrective actions from recent audits. The expiration of a critical SCADA maintenance contract creates an immediate decision window for remediating these risks.
The opportunity
A funded enterprise security initiative, a new technology leadership hire, and an 8% FY 2026-27 Technology Services budget increase signal strong organizational readiness. The DOE Rural and Municipal Utility Advances Cybersecurity Grant offers a dedicated funding path, and the September 2026 budget vote sets a clear near-term action window.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
DME faces an overdue WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline for its public-facing web presence and digital content, creating significant legal exposure and service delivery risk. Documented accessibility gaps in existing digital platforms elevate this to a high-urgency operational and equity issue for residents who depend on accessible public services.
The opportunity
With a budget vote anticipated in September 2026, a near-term funding window exists to advance this initiative. Cooperative purchasing programs can streamline procurement, and the organization's confirmed strategic commitment to digital accessibility positions this project for timely action before compliance risk escalates further.
Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and Incident Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Denton Municipal Electric faces documented emergency preparedness gaps, including insecurely stored critical electric assets, inconsistent outage and repair documentation, and alert workflows disconnected from outage management. A recent localized power outage has exposed communication and response deficiencies, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The active Denton County Hazard Mitigation Plan signals organizational commitment and potential funding alignment, while an upcoming budget cycle creates a near-term decision window. Addressing these gaps now reduces incident response risk, supports regulatory compliance, and strengthens service continuity for the communities DME serves.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 2026 citywide audit found vehicle uptime at 81.5% and preventive maintenance compliance at 79.2%, both well below the 95% goal, with nearly $50 million in deferred replacements. Inconsistent telematics use and no driver behavior data leave the city unable to support incident review or advance its active Vision Zero safety initiative.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 Shared Fleet Services budget increased by $888K, and SS4A grant funding is available to support the Vision Zero Action Plan, creating a clear and timely funding path. Acting now addresses audit findings, reduces operational and liability risk, and advances measurable public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →IT & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP and the need for centralized remote monitoring and endpoint detection signal a critical phase of IT infrastructure modernization. With annual IT and software spend exceeding $2.2M, gaps in endpoint visibility and managed services create measurable operational and security risk for city staff and residents.
The opportunity
A proposed $2.014M Technology Services budget increase and an upcoming September 2026 budget vote create a defined funding window. New CTO leadership and an active procurement cycle present a timely opportunity to advance modernized endpoint and IT management capabilities aligned with current fiscal planning.
