Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This entity operates without a current Emergency Operations Plan, relies on an overburdened emergency coordinator, and has recently experienced declared local disasters—including a freshwater intake failure and a downtown fire. Critically low emergency management tech investment and an ongoing mass notification platform transition compound operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A budget adoption deadline of September 8, 2026, an active $2M infrastructure resilience grant application, and increased FY 2026-27 public safety spending create an immediate window to close preparedness gaps. Acting now aligns investment with available funding cycles and directly reduces risk to residents and continuity of essential services.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city recently transitioned its mass notification platform, but the new system has not yet been fully optimized or integrated with broader emergency management workflows. With recent declared local disasters and no current Emergency Operations Plan, gaps in notification infrastructure pose direct risk to public safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The active platform transition creates a near-term window to close integration gaps before the next emergency event. The FY 2026-27 budget cycle, with adoption expected September 8, 2026, is an immediate funding decision point—and the project may align with available state and federal emergency preparedness grant programs.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A Texas-mandated cybersecurity training deadline has passed, placing the entity in active non-compliance. A fragmented IT environment with overlapping vendors has created measurable gaps in password management, patch management, virus protection, and workstation monitoring, elevating operational and security risk.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant (deadline October 2026) offers a strong funding pathway for cybersecurity remediation, and the FY 2026-27 budget reflects increased IT investment. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling faster procurement to restore compliance and reduce exposure.

Discuss this project →IT Environment Consolidation & Managed Services
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's IT environment is fragmented across multiple vendors for virus protection, patch management, and workstation monitoring, creating coverage gaps and limiting centralized oversight. Active procurement for IT services signals readiness to consolidate, while a passed cybersecurity training compliance deadline elevates operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 General Fund budget is expansionary, and the BJA JAG grant presents a near-term funding pathway for IT security and managed services. With budget adoption imminent and cooperative purchasing available, this is an optimal window to reduce fragmentation and strengthen compliance posture.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Oversight & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented gaps in fleet crash measurement, in-vehicle video coverage, and insurance-risk reporting create unresolved liability and evidence standardization risks. Without structured fleet safety oversight, the city faces growing exposure to incident-related costs and limited ability to defend claims or demonstrate operational accountability.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026-27 budget includes increased fleet-related funding, and the USDA Community Facilities grant represents a potential funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline procurement and accelerate implementation within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. With a 2028 compliance deadline, unresolved gaps carry growing risk of ADA-related complaints and exclusion of residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Early, staged remediation ahead of the 2028 deadline reduces legal liability and distributes costs across upcoming fiscal cycles, aligning with current IT modernization priorities. Proactive investment supports equitable public access and positions the city ahead of enforcement risk.
