Emergency Alert System Consolidation and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a non-functional county emergency alert system, an EOP with an unverified review date, and fragmented legacy notification platforms creating public safety gaps. An active transition to a county-shared system and ongoing NIMS compliance requirements make modernization both operationally urgent and mandated.
The opportunity
The November 2026 system transition deadline and recently approved FY 2026–2027 emergency communications funding create a defined window for action. Multiple aligned federal and state grant programs are available, reducing local cost burden while advancing community safety and compliance outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department maintains an active website accessibility plan but remains out of full compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and ADA digital content requirements, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to public-facing services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
An October 2026 ADA remediation deadline creates immediate urgency, and the recently approved FY 2026–2027 technology budget supports near-term action. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces legal risk, broadens public access, and aligns investment with an active funding cycle.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates a used 103-foot ladder truck with a rising maintenance budget and no dash cameras, GPS telematics, or driver-monitoring technology in place. This gap creates measurable risk in evidence preservation, preventive maintenance, and firefighter safety during emergency response.
The opportunity
FY 2026–2027 budget includes $81,000 in approved debt service for a new fire engine, creating a funded and immediate entry point for fleet safety modernization. Grant programs conditionally aligned with fire department operations may further offset costs, making this an optimal window to act.

Discuss this project →Fire Department Cybersecurity & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The fire department has an active strategic initiative to upgrade its cybersecurity posture and IT infrastructure, including a critical firewall replacement. A cybersecurity incident reporting mandate is currently in effect, adding compliance pressure and elevating operational risk if infrastructure gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes an $80,000 IT equipment allocation specifically covering the fire department firewall, providing immediate, dedicated funding. Acting within this fiscal cycle ensures compliance alignment, reduces incident exposure, and maximizes the impact of already-approved public funds.

Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active cybersecurity incident reporting mandate has elevated credential and identity security as a compliance priority, closely tied to a broader IT infrastructure modernization effort. Without structured identity controls, public-sector systems and sensitive operational data remain exposed to unauthorized access and reportable breach risk.
The opportunity
Approved FY 2026–2027 technology funding creates a near-term budget pathway to address this gap alongside planned infrastructure upgrades. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the security posture of critical public safety and government operations.
