Mass Notification Modernization & Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fresno Fire & Rescue carries a documented emergency preparedness score of 2, with no public Emergency Operations Plan, confirmed mass-notification continuity gaps, and reachability limitations that put resident warnings at risk. An active contract renewal deadline in October 2026 creates an immediate window to address these critical gaps before service continuity is further compromised.
The opportunity
A $2.8M Homeland Security grant award and $199,100 in proposed FY2027 communications funding provide direct, near-term pathways to close preparedness gaps without relying solely on general fund dollars. Acting ahead of the October 2026 contract deadline ensures uninterrupted resident notification capability and positions the department for stronger compliance and community safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Endpoint Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's Texas annual cybersecurity certification is past due, and legacy security tools leave credential management and endpoint visibility gaps that elevate operational and data risk. Multiple IT contracts expiring by September 30, 2026 signal an urgent need to consolidate and modernize the security environment before FY2027.
The opportunity
A dedicated IT allocation of $245,200 is included in the proposed FY2027 budget, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers eligible funding for cybersecurity and IT systems. Acting within the current procurement window aligns remediation with compliance deadlines and FY planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Mobile Equipment Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has documented six Commercial Motor Vehicle crashes and an EMS-related lawsuit settlement of $159,000, signaling elevated safety and liability risk. Fleet and mobile-equipment modernization is a board-identified strategic priority with dedicated operational spend included in the proposed FY2027 budget.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget approval and dedicated fleet operations funding create a near-term procurement window to act on this priority. Cooperative purchasing agreements may further streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and accelerating safety outcomes for crews and the public.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The department must achieve ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance for its website and digital services by April 26, 2028. Improvement initiatives are underway but currently unfunded, creating risk of non-compliance and inequitable public access to essential services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline opens a planning window now for phased, budget-conscious implementation before costs and urgency compound. Early action supports grant identification and budget advocacy aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle, reducing compliance risk and broadening equitable access for all residents.
IT Infrastructure Modernization & Contract Renewals
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Multiple IT contracts expire by September 30, 2026, creating simultaneous decision points across communications, endpoint management, and core systems. An overdue Texas cybersecurity certification and a documented voting system issue elevate compliance and operational risk heading into FY2027.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle is underway with dedicated IT and communications allocations totaling over $440,000, and federal grant funding may offset additional costs. Acting within this concentrated mid-2026 window reduces procurement friction and ensures continuity before contracts lapse.
