Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified, the incumbent mass notification system has documented IPAWS authority gaps and registration deficiencies, and outdoor warning sirens have experienced confirmed failures. A TDEM plan update mandate adds compliance urgency, leaving the community exposed during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY27 budget includes a dedicated $150k CIP allocation for an Outdoor Warning Siren System, signaling active procurement readiness in the immediate post-adoption window. Addressing these gaps now aligns with the TDEM compliance mandate, strengthens community resilience, and leverages available cooperative contract vehicles for streamlined procurement.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple recent high-severity police vehicle accidents have drawn public scrutiny, exposing critical gaps in fleet monitoring—including the absence of telematics and dash cam capabilities. Rising insurance costs have driven a significant FY27 fleet budget increase, and an active police fleet replacement initiative is currently underway.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget is adopted and fleet capital spending is authorized, creating an immediate, funded purchasing window. Addressing telematics and vehicle monitoring now reduces liability exposure, supports officer accountability, and aligns with the active fleet replacement program already in motion.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Identified password management gaps, a missed certification deadline, and forensic audit findings have exposed critical IT control vulnerabilities. Without disciplined credential management, the department faces elevated risk of unauthorized access and ongoing compliance deficiencies.
The opportunity
The adopted FY27 budget includes dedicated cybersecurity allocations, creating an immediate and time-sensitive procurement window. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit exposure, satisfies compliance mandates, and may align with grant funding eligibility for cybersecurity initiatives.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Incumbent endpoint and device management tools have documented deficiencies, and a forensic audit has surfaced broader IT control gaps across the department. With annual IT and software spend exceeding $3.2 million, underperforming legacy solutions represent both operational risk and inefficient use of public funds.
The opportunity
The FY27 IT modernization program is budget-approved, and an incoming IT Director in March 2026 creates a timely window for platform consolidation and vendor evaluation. Confirmed cooperative procurement vehicles streamline acquisition, and the project aligns with compliance remediation identified in recent audit findings.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties have not yet met federal WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities. Remediation must be completed ahead of the identified compliance deadline to avoid enforcement risk and service delivery gaps.
The opportunity
The defined WCAG 2.1 AA deadline creates a clear, time-bound window for action that aligns with FY27 IT modernization priorities and budget already authorized for technology improvements. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal liability, broadens public access, and supports responsible stewardship of digital infrastructure.
