Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Resolution
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This utility has no standalone Emergency Operations Plan, fragmented public warning systems, and $65M in high-priority resilience work not yet initiated. Compliance mandates under AWIA/SDWA, TCEQ, and a required FEMA-approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan create immediate regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active UASI and HSGP grant funding provides a direct path to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. A leadership transition and named EOC Enhancement initiative signal an open window for prioritization and investment this fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented mass notification infrastructure is creating critical gaps in public warning and outreach capabilities, leaving residents underserved during emergencies. Active compliance mandates under AWIA/SDWA and TCEQ, combined with the absence of a standalone EOP, elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active emergency management grant funding — including HSGP, UASI, and FEMA programs — provides a near-term funding pathway for consolidating notification infrastructure. Addressing this now aligns with the broader emergency preparedness mandate, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens public warning outcomes ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple recent fleet accidents have resulted in significant financial liability and settlements, exposing the agency to ongoing operational and fiscal risk. A strategic initiative to upgrade telematics software is underway, but current hardware performance gaps continue to leave drivers, assets, and the public underprotected.
The opportunity
A recent $190,000 budget amendment for fleet maintenance signals active funding, and the PROTECT grant offers an additional eligible funding path for fleet safety solutions. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure and advances a formally identified strategic initiative already in motion.

Cybersecurity · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
Active mandates under Texas incident reporting requirements and NIST/CISA security governance frameworks are driving immediate need for MFA and privileged access controls. Gaps in security governance policy expose the organization to compliance risk and potential unauthorized access to critical infrastructure systems.
The opportunity
Recent budget amendments for IT policy training signal active spending in this area, and the current fiscal cycle supports expansion of existing password management investments. Addressing MFA and access governance now reduces audit exposure and aligns with state and federal cybersecurity compliance timelines.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal WCAG 2.1 deadline creates an immediate, time-bound mandate for digital remediation across public-facing web services. Without action, the entity risks non-compliance, reduced public access, and potential federal scrutiny during an active budget planning cycle.
The opportunity
The convergence of a hard federal compliance deadline and expiring contracts makes the current fiscal window the optimal moment to act. Addressing accessibility gaps now protects public access to services, reduces legal exposure, and aligns remediation costs with active budget planning cycles.
