Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Update and Approval
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity's Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is overdue for update, with an $88K contract in place and approval targeted for August 2026. Recent incidents—including a train derailment, water main break, and migrant crisis—have exposed critical preparedness gaps, and CCBHC continuity-of-operations mandates further elevate compliance urgency.
The opportunity
Dedicated contract funding is secured and the August 2026 approval deadline creates a defined, near-term action window aligned with FY2027 planning. With $13.7M allocated to public safety technology, advancing this initiative now reduces operational risk and strengthens community resilience ahead of compliance deadlines.
Unified Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a unified mass notification system, a gap that contributed to documented public notification failures during a water main break incident. With an overdue Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan and active emergency management compliance mandates, the operational and public safety risk is significant and growing.
The opportunity
A $13.7M public safety technology budget allocation and active FY2027 planning create a near-term funding window for this investment. Addressing this greenfield gap now strengthens emergency preparedness, supports compliance mandates, and directly improves outcomes for residents during critical incidents.
P25 Radio Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
This actively funded initiative is modernizing public safety radio infrastructure to strengthen interoperable emergency communications across the city. With an 18-month implementation timeline underway, delays risk continuity-of-operations gaps during critical incidents and emergency response coordination.
The opportunity
Partial ARPA funding is confirmed in the FY2027 budget, providing a clear financial path for associated procurement within the current implementation window. Acting within this cycle ensures alignment with secured funding, reduces operational risk, and advances broader emergency management modernization goals.
Cybersecurity Training & Credential Management Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A Texas OIG audit finding identified a cybersecurity training deficiency requiring remediation by January 2026, and the absence of an enterprise credential management solution creates compounding compliance and security risk. An active initiative for cybersecurity solutions and application management is underway, but gaps remain unresolved ahead of the deadline.
The opportunity
The January 2026 OIG deadline makes action immediate, and the BJA FY 2026 grant (up to $3M, September 2026 deadline) explicitly supports IT and cybersecurity modernization, providing a viable funding path. FY2027 IT budget increases further enable sustained investment, aligning remediation with both compliance requirements and long-term operational resilience.

Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Without a named endpoint management platform, the city's IT environment relies on fragmented tools that increase security exposure and operational risk. An active RFP for integrated security technology—due August 2026—and FY2027 budget allocations for a computer application management system signal both urgency and readiness to act.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 grant (up to $3M, deadline September 2026) provides a viable funding path for IT modernization, and a newly established CIO position signals leadership commitment to infrastructure investment. Acting within the current procurement and fiscal window reduces compliance risk and positions the city for a more secure, unified technology environment.
BJA FY 2026 Public Safety
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active ADA compliance plan with a WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline of April 2027, while a City Clerk Agenda Software contract expires in July 2027. A planned city website redesign adds scope, and failure to meet these deadlines creates legal, compliance, and public-access risk.
The opportunity
Converging deadlines in spring and summer 2027, combined with a significant FY2027 IT budget increase and a newly appointed CIO, create a clear window for action. Addressing accessibility and portal modernization now ensures compliance, improves resident access to services, and aligns with available funding cycles.
