Emergency Operations Plan Review and Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's EOP has an unknown last review date, creating measurable compliance risk against NIMS/ICS mandates. Severe flooding in July 2026 exposed critical incident response gaps, and current mass notification relies on an opt-in system with potential coverage limitations affecting resident safety.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026 represents an immediate window to secure dedicated emergency management funding, including an active $1M flood siren grant. With a new Emergency Management Coordinator in place, organizational readiness is high and conditions favor action before the budget is finalized.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current opt-in mass notification system creates coverage gaps that limit reliable emergency alert delivery to residents and staff. Recent severe flooding events have exposed these limitations, elevating operational risk and underscoring the need for a more comprehensive, citywide alerting capability.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle, with a public hearing in September 2026, provides a near-term funding window to advance this upgrade. A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator brings fresh momentum, and the project aligns with active emergency management allocations and cooperative procurement pathways that can accelerate implementation.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following severe flooding in July 2026, the city has prioritized flood siren infrastructure and EOC coordination improvements, with identified gaps in mass notification coverage and an EOP of unknown review status. NIMS/ICS compliance obligations and demonstrated incident exposure elevate the operational and public safety risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
A $1M grant is already earmarked for flood siren infrastructure, and the FY2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026 is the immediate milestone for securing remaining allocations. Acting now ensures funding is captured, deployment timelines are met, and community resilience is strengthened before the next severe weather season.

Discuss this project →Fleet Modernization and Vehicle Telematics Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates an aging fleet, including take-home patrol vehicles, with no documented in-car video or telematics in place. The absence of monitoring tools elevates municipal liability exposure and creates unmitigated preventive safety and accountability risks for staff and the public.
The opportunity
Fleet modernization is an active strategic initiative with funding identified or sought in the FY2027 budget cycle, creating a timely window to act. Deploying telematics and in-car video now reduces liability premiums, strengthens operational accountability, and positions the city to leverage cooperative purchasing contracts for streamlined procurement.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has documented compliance mandates under WCAG 2.0 A and AA, with a WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline of April 2028. An active website redesign initiative creates an immediate opportunity to integrate accessibility tooling and avoid costly post-launch remediation.
The opportunity
With procurement planning already underway alongside the redesign, acting now enables phased implementation and reduces compliance risk ahead of the 2028 deadline. This project aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and supports equitable public access to city digital services.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city has allocated $75K for server infrastructure in the proposed FY2027 budget while operating without documented credential management practices, creating measurable cybersecurity risk. With over $1.3M in annual IT spend and citywide infrastructure modernization as an active strategic initiative, closing this security gap is both operationally urgent and fiscally responsible.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program, with an October 2026 deadline, explicitly funds equipment and information systems, offering a near-term path to address IT and cybersecurity needs. The September 8, 2026 FY2027 budget hearing creates an immediate window to align funding commitments with modernization priorities.
