Restore Mass Notification & Emergency Alert Capability
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The incumbent emergency alert platform was decommissioned in November 2025 following a cybersecurity incident, leaving a critical gap in public notification capability. An annual compliance mandate requires maintaining and updating the Emergency Management Plan, and the plan's current status and age remain unverified, compounding preparedness risk.
The opportunity
FY2027 proposed funding includes dedicated resources for secure restoration of the mass-notification platform, with a budget vote scheduled for September 2026. Acting within this fiscal window ensures compliance continuity, restores resident safety communications, and aligns with EOC modernization already underway.
Emergency Operations Center Modernization and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's emergency alert platform was decommissioned following a cybersecurity incident, leaving a critical gap in mass-notification capability alongside an EOC modernization mandate. With $300,000 proposed in the FY2027 capital budget and an annual requirement to maintain the Emergency Management Plan, the operational and compliance risk is immediate and escalating.
The opportunity
The FY2027 capital budget vote in September 2026 creates a near-term, funded window to advance EOC upgrades and restore emergency notification capability. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates, supports incoming leadership priorities, and ensures continuity of public safety operations before the next budget cycle closes.
IT Infrastructure Resilience & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Significant legacy infrastructure gaps and a cybersecurity incident that forced decommissioning of the city's emergency alert platform expose critical operational and public safety risks. An active Information Security Policy mandates NIST framework implementation, and FY2027 budget proposals reflect $3.57 million in identified need for disaster recovery and firewall and server modernization.
The opportunity
A $3.57 million FY2027 capital allocation is proposed and a budget vote is scheduled for September 2026, creating a defined fiscal window to advance resilience and compliance priorities. Federal justice assistance funding may also offset eligible cybersecurity costs, and acting within the current cycle reduces ongoing operational risk to public safety services.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 requires the city to bring all public-facing digital properties into conformance, creating firm legal and reputational risk if unaddressed. This initiative is identified as funded or ongoing, signaling organizational commitment but a need for timely execution.
The opportunity
With the FY2027 budget vote approaching in September 2026, engaging now positions this initiative for full funding inclusion ahead of the compliance deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
Fire Fleet Safety & Incident Evidence Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent fire truck accident and the high replacement value of fire apparatus have exposed a critical gap in incident evidence capture — confirmed incident video is currently unavailable despite existing GPS use. Without enhanced fleet safety monitoring, the city faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to document or review incidents involving high-value public safety assets.
The opportunity
The FY2027 capital budget includes proposed investment in fire fleet infrastructure, creating a timely funding pathway for fleet safety technology improvements. Acting within the current budget cycle supports both operational risk reduction and responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
