Emergency Operations Plan & Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue and unresolved, creating direct compliance risk under active Texas EOP mandates. Gaps in emergency communications interoperability and mass notification capabilities further expose the department and the public during active incidents.
The opportunity
The October 1 budget cycle opens an immediate funding window, and demonstrated public safety tech investment signals budget readiness in this category. Addressing these mandated gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens incident response, and positions the department for available state and federal emergency preparedness funding.

ADA Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an active ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing digital portals by 2028. Current platforms do not meet this standard, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG deadline is a firm, externally imposed compliance driver, making staged remediation a fiscally responsible path forward. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed, reducing procurement burden and accelerating timelines within the upcoming budget cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Engine 37 carries documented reliability and liability concerns, while the department lacks real-time apparatus tracking, dash-camera coverage, or a formal fleet compliance program. Without these safeguards, the city faces elevated operational risk, liability exposure, and limited visibility into fleet performance and crew safety.
The opportunity
An active $39,500 vehicle and equipment budget allocation provides a direct funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place to streamline procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle enables the department to close compliance and safety gaps before fleet modernization efforts advance further.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department is pursuing an active mobile CAD/AVL initiative to enable real-time apparatus visibility and field coordination, but current systems do not fully support these capabilities. Gaps in operational data access create response delays and liability exposure, particularly given documented apparatus reliability concerns.
The opportunity
This funded, in-flight initiative aligns with the October 1 budget cycle, and confirmed cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement. Acting now advances field safety, strengthens operational continuity, and positions the department to maximize existing public safety technology budget allocations.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Managed IT Contract Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces simultaneous expiration and renewal windows across Disaster Recovery Backup, Managed IT, Firewall, and Threat Management contracts, while endpoint management gaps and the absence of a documented password security policy elevate operational risk. A citywide GenAI policy signals growing IT governance expectations that current infrastructure may not fully support.
The opportunity
A conditional public safety and mental health grant path offers a potential funding avenue, and the October 1 budget cycle creates an immediate planning window to address these gaps. Acting now allows the city to consolidate expiring contracts, close documented security gaps, and align IT investments with the upcoming fiscal year.
