EOP Modernization & Mass Notification Continuity
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The citywide Emergency Operations Plan has an unknown review status, creating a critical preparedness gap, while the mass notification platform's contract continuity is uncertain. Reliance on regional arrangements for emergency management and 911 dispatch adds interagency coordination risk that could affect public safety response.
The opportunity
A proposed $1.6M public safety budget increase and a pending $1.9M emergency vehicle grant create a rare, concurrent funding window ahead of the September 2026 tax-rate hearing. Acting now aligns with active leadership re-evaluation and supports measurable improvements in community preparedness and interagency coordination.

Discuss this project →Credential & Privileged Access Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
An audit identified active weaknesses in password, credential, and privileged-access controls, creating a statutory compliance obligation the city must address. Current secure-connectivity tooling covers only a limited scope, leaving critical gaps in comprehensive privileged access management across the IT environment.
The opportunity
The FY2026 JAG allocation of $11,303 requires no local match and is designated for cybersecurity and IT management, offering an immediate, low-friction funding path. The city's active cybersecurity improvement initiative reinforces near-term readiness, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces audit exposure and aligns with budget planning timelines.

Discuss this project →Modernize City IT Infrastructure and Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has explicitly identified citywide IT licensing, software, phone-system modernization, and infrastructure replacement as strategic priorities, with annual IT and software spend near $200K. A recent IT budget reduction, combined with a mature but aging virtual infrastructure and Microsoft-centric environment, elevates operational continuity and security risk for staff and residents.
The opportunity
A FY2026 JAG grant allocation of $11,303 with no local match required provides an immediate, no-cost funding path for IT management and endpoint modernization. The September 2026 tax-rate hearing and FY2026–27 budget cycle, alongside a leadership transition with IT oversight at the executive level, create a timely window for advancing these initiatives.

Discuss this project →Web & Digital Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a stated April 26, 2027 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, with a federal deadline of 2028, leaving a narrow remediation window. Gaps span websites, documents, videos, and mobile applications, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public service access.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget cycle and the September 2026 tax-rate hearing create an immediate funding decision window to advance this named strategic priority. Acting now allows sufficient lead time to remediate across all digital properties before dual compliance deadlines, reducing legal risk and improving resident access.

Discuss this project →Municipal Fleet Modernization & Vehicle Location Program
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Police Department's 19-vehicle patrol fleet faces frequent mechanical failures and crash-related downtime, driving up maintenance costs and shortening vehicle service life. Rising self-insurance claims signal growing financial exposure, while reduced patrol availability directly impacts public safety service delivery.
The opportunity
A proposed 16% budget increase in Fleet & Equipment Services for FY 2026-27, alongside named initiatives for fleet replacement and an Automatic Vehicle Location pilot, creates an active funding window. Acting within this budget cycle reduces insurance liability, extends asset life, and improves officer availability through data-informed fleet oversight.

Discuss this project →CAD/RMS System Stabilization & Integration
Public Safety Technology · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The recently deployed CAD/RMS system remains unstable as of August 2026, creating active operational gaps in core public safety workflows. Reliance on regional systems for 911 dispatch adds coordination complexity, and unresolved integration issues elevate risk for a department already navigating transitional leadership.
The opportunity
Active remediation work and a September 2026 budget hearing create an immediate window to address stabilization and integration needs with potential supplemental funding. The proposed $1.6M public safety budget increase and existing cooperative purchasing agreements support an accelerated, cost-effective path to resolution.
