Emergency Operations Plan Development & Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance risk under NIMS adoption and EOP maintenance mandates, and jeopardizing federal funding eligibility. Fragmented warning systems—outdoor sirens, opt-in email, and a county notification service—leave residents and staff without a unified, reliable alerting capability.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2027 budget includes a dedicated Emergency Management capital allocation effective October 1, 2026, opening an immediate procurement window. A rolling rural emergency communications grant provides an additional funding pathway, and a recent leadership transition creates a timely opportunity to align priorities and advance this initiative.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The town currently relies on fragmented warning systems — outdoor sirens and an opt-in email list — with no unified mass-notification platform, limiting reach and reliability during emergencies. This gap conflicts with active NIMS and EOP compliance mandates and risks loss of federal funding tied to expired or absent emergency plans.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget allocations for Emergency Management and Software & Communications take effect October 1, 2026, creating an immediate procurement window with no incumbent solution to displace. A rolling grant opportunity for emergency communications further expands funding options, making this the right moment to close preparedness gaps and protect residents.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization faces an active Texas annual cybersecurity training mandate alongside documented concerns around password management and endpoint security. Without confirmed tooling or formalized controls in place, the risk of non-compliance and a potential security incident affecting public operations remains elevated.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget already allocated for Software, Technology and Communications creates an immediate procurement window within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing compliance and endpoint gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the organization ahead of future audit or incident exposure.

Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing web presence does not yet meet WCAG accessibility standards, creating compliance exposure ahead of the 2028 federal deadline. A recent administrative leadership transition presents a timely opportunity to elevate digital communications modernization within planning and budget cycles.
The opportunity
With a new administration resetting technology priorities and the FY2027 budget cycle underway, early engagement on accessibility planning supports proactive compliance and equitable public access. Addressing this now avoids costly reactive remediation and aligns with available Software and Technology budget allocations.
