Unify Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, operates inconsistent mass-notification systems across split platforms, and has no dedicated city-level emergency management coordinator — all while recent county-level emergencies have exposed the fragmented communications ecosystem to real operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A standing mandate to maintain an emergency management plan, combined with FY2027 budget allocations for 9-1-1 operations and a new Mental Health Emergency Communications Center, creates immediate funding alignment and urgency to close preparedness gaps before the next emergency event.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an unresolved police-unit insurance claim of $57,888, a 38% rise in automobile insurance costs, and a growing vehicle maintenance budget. These compounding financial pressures, alongside a budget-approved fleet modernization initiative, signal urgent need for fleet safety technology to reduce liability and improve asset oversight.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes capital allocations for new vehicles and increased Public Works spending, creating an active funding window for fleet technology investment. A recent leadership transition within the department may further accelerate receptivity to modernization. Acting now reduces insurance exposure, improves driver accountability, and aligns with approved capital priorities before the fiscal cycle closes.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas law mandates annual cybersecurity training for government entities, with a hard compliance deadline of August 31, 2026. While an existing IT environment provides a partial foundation, credential and access security gaps remain unaddressed, elevating operational and compliance risk for staff and public data.
The opportunity
The August 2026 deadline creates an immediate, time-bound driver to act within the current fiscal cycle. FY2027 budget allocations for IT infrastructure confirm available funding capacity, and a budget-approved cybersecurity initiative signals organizational readiness to move forward without displacement risk.

IT Modernization · Public Sector Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city has a budget-approved initiative to upgrade and replace critical IT infrastructure, with FY2027 capital investments already planned. The existing environment—anchored by Microsoft 365 and a managed services provider—signals an active modernization cycle where aging systems pose operational continuity and cybersecurity risk.
The opportunity
FY2027 capital allocations create a near-term, funded window to advance this infrastructure refresh before budget cycles close. Acting now reduces operational risk, supports compliance with Texas cybersecurity mandates, and positions the city to leverage cooperative procurement vehicles for cost-effective, streamlined acquisition.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence and digital documents must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2028. Identified gaps across the existing CMS and document assets expand remediation scope, elevating compliance and public access risk for residents.
The opportunity
The fixed 2028 regulatory deadline enables phased, budgetable planning across upcoming fiscal cycles, reducing last-minute remediation costs. Early action supports equitable public access, aligns with cooperative procurement pathways, and positions the department to meet compliance without emergency spending.

Discuss this project →9-1-1 & Emergency Communications Center Modernization
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The FY2027 budget includes dedicated funding for 9-1-1 operations and capital investment for a new Mental Health Emergency Communications Center, yet current dispatch remains dependent on the county sheriff's office, creating coordination gaps and integration risk. An undocumented city-level EOP and inconsistent mass-notification systems further elevate operational and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
Capital funding is already approved and leadership transitions create a favorable window to advance communications infrastructure decisions within the current fiscal cycle. Establishing a unified, city-controlled ECC reduces interagency dependency, strengthens emergency response outcomes, and positions the city to meet emergency management compliance mandates.
