Citywide IT Services & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active RFP covering endpoint management, remote support, MFA, endpoint hardening, and credential controls, with budget approved and procurement underway. Gaps in these areas elevate cyber insurance liability exposure and operational risk for city staff and residents.
The opportunity
Proposals are due July 7, 2026, with service commencement targeted for October 1, 2026, creating immediate urgency to act within the current procurement window. The FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program offers potential funding alignment, and informal engagements up to $100,000 may be pursued ahead of formal bid requirements.
FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant
Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, and mass notification relies on resident opt-in, leaving significant preparedness gaps confirmed by recent tornado and water outage incidents. A fragmented notification and dispatch ecosystem across jurisdictions further limits coordinated response capability.
The opportunity
Two grant programs — with award windows in September and October 2026 — provide near-term funding paths for EOP development and notification modernization. New executive leadership creates a favorable environment for evaluating current systems, and acting within this fiscal cycle aligns investment with both compliance requirements and public safety outcomes.
FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website does not currently meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents. A budget-approved strategic initiative and increased City Website Maintenance allocation signal organizational readiness to close this compliance gap.
The opportunity
The April 2028 WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate provides a defined planning horizon, and approved budget funding supports action within the current fiscal cycle. Staging remediation by risk severity now reduces legal liability and ensures all residents can access critical city services online.

Discuss this project →Volunteer Fire Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Emergency Services
High Priority
About this project
The volunteer fire operation lacks dash cameras, telematics, and driver safety monitoring, creating a significant documentation gap and elevated apparatus insurance exposure. Without visibility into vehicle operation and driver behavior, the department faces unmitigated liability risk and limited ability to demonstrate due diligence in the event of an incident.
The opportunity
New fire department leadership and an active Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program funding round expected in October 2026 create a timely opening to advance fleet safety investment. Cooperative procurement vehicles may further streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and accelerating implementation within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Digital Permitting & Forms Modernization
Digital Services · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's current digital services landscape is fragmented, with permitting and public-facing forms managed across disconnected platforms, creating service delivery gaps and accessibility risks. Consolidating these functions under a unified approach is needed to improve resident experience, reduce operational redundancy, and support WCAG 2.1 compliance ahead of the April 2028 deadline.
The opportunity
A budget-approved Website & Digital Services initiative and increased City Website Maintenance funding create a near-term window to advance consolidation and reduce platform sprawl. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns modernization efforts with available appropriations and positions the city for improved service continuity and compliance readiness.
