Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, voluntary-only resident alert registration, and unformalized interagency coordination — gaps that elevate public safety and compliance risk. An imminent emergency communications contract renewal and active Hazard Mitigation Action Plan participation make addressing these deficiencies immediately actionable.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and a pending emergency communications renewal create a time-sensitive window to consolidate alerting and formalize preparedness infrastructure. This project aligns with state and federal funding eligibility and supports the mandate to maintain a current, compliant emergency management plan.

Cybersecurity · Compliance & Policy
High Priority
About this project
A high-urgency CJIS-aligned password security mandate carries explicit deadlines and consequences for non-compliance, creating immediate operational and legal risk. The city's active initiative to finalize a comprehensive Information Security and Privacy policy further underscores the need for a formalized credential management program.
The opportunity
An 11.86% increase in IT expenditures and an active FY budget cycle signal available resources, while the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers a direct funding path for cybersecurity improvements. Acting now aligns compliance obligations with budget timing and reduces risk to public safety systems and sensitive data.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A citywide IT operating-capacity investment and an 11.86% increase in IT expenditures signal growing demand to modernize legacy systems, including contracted IT services and leased security devices that may require integration or replacement. Without a structured modernization plan, the city risks operational gaps, unmanaged endpoints, and exposure to compliance mandates such as CJIS-aligned security requirements.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and eligibility for justice assistance grant funding create a timely, low-friction path to advance IT improvements using cooperative purchasing programs already in use. Acting now aligns spending with approved budget increases and reduces procurement lead time while strengthening citywide operational resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals are subject to a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access if remediation is not completed. Non-compliance carries clear consequences, elevating this to a high-urgency operational and civil rights risk.
The opportunity
An active FY2026–2027 budget cycle, including a notable increase in IT expenditures, provides a viable funding pathway for remediation efforts. Addressing this mandate now reduces legal liability, ensures equitable public access, and positions the entity ahead of enforcement timelines.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Operational Monitoring Enhancement
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Existing mobile video recording and body-worn camera systems are in place, but gaps in fleet safety monitoring and operational oversight present growing risk. Proactive improvements are needed to strengthen accountability, support internal inspection policies, and align with budget priorities before the current cycle closes.
The opportunity
An active budget cycle with documented fleet-related expenditure increases creates a timely window to advance monitoring capabilities without waiting for a crisis to drive action. Cooperative purchasing programs are confirmed, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating the path to improved public safety outcomes.
