Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an undocumented Emergency Operations Plan, fragmented ownership, and an unresolved mass notification contract. Active mandates requiring EOP review and NIMS adoption elevate compliance and operational risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 proposed budget includes dedicated funding for emergency warning systems, and federal grants (HSGP, EMPG) are available to offset costs. New leadership and active compliance mandates create a near-term window to consolidate systems, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with an April 2028 deadline, creating legal exposure and public access risk if unaddressed. A strategic initiative to launch a new official city website and mobile app is underway, with website maintenance already separately budgeted in the proposed FY 2026–2027 budget.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects increased investment in IT and website build and maintenance, signaling an active decision window. Acting now ensures the new digital properties are built to compliance standards from the outset, reducing remediation costs and legal risk ahead of the April 2028 deadline. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining procurement.
Citywide IT Operations & Cybersecurity Baseline
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a strategic need to establish a citywide IT operations and cybersecurity baseline, with current annual IT spend near $48,800 and a proposed FY 2026–2027 budget reflecting increased investment. Without a defined baseline, municipal systems and resident data remain exposed to operational disruption and evolving cyber threats.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle creates a near-term decision window, and HSGP and EMPG grants explicitly support IT and cybersecurity upgrades, reducing reliance on local funds. Acting now positions the city to close security gaps, strengthen operational continuity, and align spending with available external funding.
Fleet Safety Risk Reduction & Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent police vehicle incident resulted in insurance claims and a fleet trade-in, exposing gaps in fleet safety oversight and risk management. With new public safety leadership in place, the municipality faces ongoing operational and liability risk without a structured fleet safety program.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 police budget includes targeted increases that create a near-term funding pathway for fleet safety technology. Co-op procurement agreements already in place can streamline acquisition, enabling faster implementation and measurable risk reduction within the current budget cycle.
