Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline in 2028, with an active strategic initiative to redesign its public-facing digital portal and expand digital services. Gaps in accessibility expose the City to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable resident access to government services.
The opportunity
A $3.2M IT budget increase in FY2027 and an upcoming major digital services contract expiration create a well-timed window to act. Incoming IT leadership and defined compliance milestones align this initiative with current planning cycles, reducing long-term remediation costs and audit exposure.
Cybersecurity Awareness Training & Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Active DIR-mandated cybersecurity awareness training requirements and recurring financial audit cycles create ongoing compliance obligations, while legacy identity and access management tools introduce credential and access risk. Failure to modernize exposes the organization to audit findings, unauthorized access, and operational disruption.
The opportunity
The FY2027 IT budget increase and the SWCD IT Assistance grant create a funded pathway to address both training compliance and identity management gaps now. Incoming IT leadership signals openness to modernization, and acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with compliance deadlines and reduces audit exposure.
SWCD Information Technology Assistance
Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The SWCD has identified critical gaps in endpoint visibility, device lifecycle management, and network security — including the need for EDR deployment, VPN migration, and PC replacement. Without a unified management platform, these gaps elevate operational and cybersecurity risk across district infrastructure.
The opportunity
The SWCD Information Technology Assistance grant provides a direct, near-term funding pathway for this initiative, reducing reliance on local budget. Acting within the current grant window aligns procurement with available resources and addresses compliance and continuity risks before they escalate.
SWCD Information Technology Assistance
Discuss this project →Unified Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The SWCD lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, Hudspeth County has a vacant Emergency Management Coordinator position, and recent water outages exposed critical communication gaps. The absence of a unified mass notification system leaves residents and staff without reliable alerts during emergencies, elevating public safety and operational risk.
The opportunity
An awarded grant for a Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan Update and a pending emergency generator grant provide active funding anchors aligned with the current budget cycle. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and leverages available state and federal funding before windows close.
Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan grant
Discuss this project →P25 Radio Infrastructure & Public Safety Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
El Paso's public safety agencies rely on legacy radio equipment lacking a unified communications platform, a gap exposed by recent incidents revealing critical communication deficiencies. Without modernization, first responders face interoperability failures that directly threaten coordinated emergency response and resident safety.
The opportunity
With $13.7M in annual emergency management and public safety technology spend and an FY2027 IT budget increase already adopted, financial backing is in place to advance this strategic initiative now. An awarded Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan grant and a pending emergency generator application further support aligned infrastructure investment this fiscal cycle.
Municipal Fleet Electrification & Alternative Fuel Transition
Fleet Management · Sustainability Planning
High Priority
About this project
The city is in active planning stages to transition its municipal fleet to low- and zero-emission vehicles and establish alternative fuel infrastructure. While no immediate safety incidents have been recorded, the transition introduces procurement, operational, and long-term budget planning complexity for public works and fleet administrators.
The opportunity
Federal sustainability and clean transportation funding trends create potential budget pathways for fleet electrification initiatives in the upcoming fiscal cycle. Early planning positions the city to align capital investments with grant eligibility windows and long-term operational cost reduction goals.
