Emergency Communications Modernization and EOP Unification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including an unresolved EOP status, fragmented mass-notification platforms, and documented coordination failures during past flooding events. These gaps create measurable compliance risk tied to NIMS adoption requirements and expose residents to delayed or inconsistent emergency communications.
The opportunity
A new City Manager onboarding in early 2026 and a September 15, 2026 budget adoption deadline create a near-term window to advance funded fire and dispatch communications priorities. Emergency management grants and approved capital initiatives provide viable funding pathways to unify systems and close compliance gaps before the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current 911 dispatch and communications infrastructure relies on fragmented, siloed systems that create coordination gaps during active incidents. This lack of integration elevates operational risk for residents and first responders and undermines the unified command capabilities required for effective emergency response.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved and aligned with an upcoming September 2026 adoption window, creating a near-term implementation runway. Acting now supports NIMS compliance, consolidates fragmented systems, and positions the city to leverage available grant funding for emergency communications improvements.

Fleet Safety · Emergency Services
High Priority
About this project
The fire fleet currently lacks documented telematics or dash-camera programs, leaving high-value emergency vehicles without data to support accident investigation, driver coaching, or preventive maintenance. A newly acquired pumper truck amplifies this gap, increasing operational and liability risk for the department and the public it serves.
The opportunity
An approved fire fleet modernization initiative creates a natural, budget-aligned window to deploy telematics alongside new apparatus, with no incumbent platform to displace. Fire department equipment grants and the upcoming budget adoption cycle support funding eligibility, making this an actionable near-term priority.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
End-of-life server, storage, and network security infrastructure is approaching a planned upgrade deadline of September 8, 2026, while a legacy backup solution remains in place with no confirmed modern endpoint management platform. These gaps elevate operational continuity and data security risk for city staff and residents.
The opportunity
Budget has been allocated and a September 2026 implementation window is confirmed, creating an immediate opportunity to act ahead of the fiscal year close. Addressing these upgrades now reduces compliance and continuity risk, with potential alignment to JAG and other IT/cybersecurity funding programs.

Cybersecurity · Identity Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A verified gap in password and identity-security controls leaves department systems and user accounts exposed, particularly as infrastructure modernization is underway. Without enforced access management, the risk of unauthorized access and data compromise to public-sector systems increases significantly.
The opportunity
Planned IT infrastructure upgrades in September 2026 and an approaching budget adoption window create a timely co-deployment opportunity to close this compliance gap. JAG program funding offers a conditional pathway to offset costs, aligning cybersecurity investment with active fiscal planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by 2028, creating a defined regulatory deadline for accessibility remediation. No confirmed remediation effort is currently underway, leaving residents at risk of inequitable access to government services and the entity exposed to compliance liability.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a clear window for phased remediation across multiple fiscal years, allowing costs to be distributed and aligned with annual budget cycles. Early action reduces compliance risk, improves equitable service delivery, and positions the entity to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.
