Consolidate Emergency Notifications & Close EOP Compliance Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This entity lacks a publicly dated Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance exposure under Texas 37 TAC §7.12 and NIMS adoption requirements. Fragmented mass notification coverage and significant coastal and severe weather risk leave residents and staff underserved during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle includes grant-funded increases, and an upcoming budget hearing represents an immediate decision window for prioritizing preparedness investments. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with available public safety funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively modernizing its IT infrastructure, supported by a newly created IT Specialist position and an annual technology spend of $333,430. Leadership transitions and ongoing upgrade initiatives create both urgency and openness to evaluating current systems for gaps in endpoint management and cybersecurity posture.
The opportunity
A budget hearing in September 2026 and an approved FY2026–2027 technology investment plan create an immediate decision window. A PD Cybersecurity Grant and cooperative purchasing vehicles further reduce procurement barriers, enabling the city to strengthen IT resilience and compliance with state cybersecurity incident reporting mandates.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas Government Code §2054.603 mandates cybersecurity incident reporting, creating a direct compliance driver for improved security tooling. Gaps in credential management and endpoint security persist despite existing awareness training, elevating operational and data risk across the entity.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes grant-funded increases supporting cybersecurity investments, and a PD Cybersecurity Grant offers a defined funding path. With a budget hearing on September 8, 2026, this is an immediate window to advance compliance, reduce risk, and align investments with active IT modernization priorities.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has an identified gap in website accessibility compliance, with a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard required by April 2028. An active website redesign and a resident-facing mobile application included in the FY2026–2027 budget create immediate operational and compliance alignment needs.
The opportunity
With the mobile app and website redesign already budgeted and a firm federal compliance deadline approaching, the current fiscal cycle presents a defined window to act. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal exposure, improves equitable service delivery, and aligns with planned technology investment.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
With 142 recorded breakdowns and no dash camera or telematics capability, the fleet faces significant reliability, liability, and safety monitoring gaps. An identified ambulance replacement need further compounds operational risk for emergency service delivery and staff safety.
The opportunity
Fleet initiatives are active in current strategic planning, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement within the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing telematics and vehicle replacement now reduces liability exposure and strengthens emergency response continuity for the community.

Discuss this project →EMS Financial and Records System Modernization
Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An ongoing EMS financial reorganization is creating pressure to evaluate and update financial and records management systems. Current investment in public safety technology is modest, and operational capacity to manage system changes is expanding with a new IT position planned for FY2027.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle and incoming IT staffing capacity create a natural window to advance system modernization with organizational support already in place. Public safety records and information systems may be eligible for federal justice assistance funding, reducing the local cost burden.
