IT & Cybersecurity Modernization Initiative
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city has budget-approved funding for an IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative spanning FY2025–2026, identified as a top strategic priority. Planned capital investments in server upgrades, fiber network backbone, and endpoint replacements signal active infrastructure gaps that elevate operational and security risk.
The opportunity
Approved funding and an active procurement cycle create a near-term window to advance modernization before the fiscal year closes. Supplemental coverage through the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) may offset perimeter security costs, strengthening public infrastructure with reduced local burden.
Perimeter Security & Firewall Deployment
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has allocated $24,800 for a perimeter device and firewall under the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), with funding spanning FY2027–FY2028. Without a deployed perimeter security solution, municipal networks and public-facing systems remain exposed to unauthorized access and cyber threats.
The opportunity
Funding is already approved and time-bound within a two-year grant window, making this a ready-to-execute procurement. Acting within the current cycle ensures compliance with SLCGP requirements, reduces network risk, and aligns with the city's broader IT and cybersecurity modernization priorities.
Fleet Management Capability Expansion
Fleet Operations · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city operates an active fleet management ecosystem with existing telematics infrastructure and dash cam equipment, but current capabilities may not fully address evolving operational needs. Gaps in fleet visibility, asset utilization, or driver safety monitoring can expose the city to liability and inefficiency risks over time.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, supporting cost-effective expansion within the current fleet infrastructure. Advancing capabilities now aligns with active capital planning cycles and positions the city to improve operational oversight and public service delivery.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly verifiable Emergency Operations Plan, a city-specific mass notification platform, and documented exercises or audits — gaps underscored by a recent severe winter weather declaration. These deficiencies elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A recent emergency declaration creates political and operational urgency to act within the current planning cycle, and regional integration pathways may reduce implementation complexity and cost. Closing these preparedness gaps now strengthens community resilience and positions the city for relevant state and federal preparedness funding.
Credential & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's expanding technology ecosystem—spanning public safety, fleet, and municipal operations—creates broad credential and identity security exposure. A budget-approved IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative signals recognized gaps in password and access management that carry operational and data integrity risk.
The opportunity
An active FY2025–FY2026 budget-approved initiative and an aligned SLCGP funding path create a near-term window to advance credential security investments with available public funds. Acting within this cycle supports compliance readiness, reduces identity-related risk, and positions the city ahead of FY2027 capital commitments.
