Emergency Operations Plan & Public Alert Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a basic, opt-in public alert service with no identified redundancy or performance testing. A split ecosystem between the current alert platform and county dispatch creates coordination gaps and single points of failure that elevate risk to residents during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget adoption cycle presents a near-term window to fund emergency preparedness improvements alongside proposed public safety spending increases. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, supports emergency management compliance mandates, and positions the city to leverage cooperative procurement for a streamlined acquisition path.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Credential & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The department faces active CJIS compliance mandates, Texas state cybersecurity training requirements, and password security obligations that current tooling does not meet. These unresolved gaps create measurable legal, operational, and data-security risk for staff and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes IT infrastructure investment and an 11% increase in public safety spending, creating a direct funding pathway. The JAG Local Formula grant offers supplemental support, and no competing solutions are in place — making this an ideal moment to act before the budget cycle closes.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively pursuing IT and cybersecurity modernization across servers, network infrastructure, and managed IT services, with dedicated police budget allocations signaling operational reliance on aging systems. Without updated endpoint management and cybersecurity controls, the city faces elevated risk of service disruption and compliance exposure under state and federal mandates.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget adoption is an imminent decision point with IT infrastructure upgrades already proposed, and the JAG Local Formula grant offers a viable funding pathway with strong alignment to this project scope. Acting within this budget cycle positions the city to reduce operational risk, meet compliance requirements, and maximize available public safety funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates without a fleet telematics solution, despite a 104% increase in vehicle insurance premiums that signals growing risk exposure. With police fleet modernization already underway, the absence of telematics leaves vehicle utilization, driver behavior, and liability gaps unaddressed.
The opportunity
Fleet modernization spending is already proposed in the FY 2026-2027 budget, creating a timely and natural entry point for telematics adoption ahead of budget adoption. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline purchasing, and transportation resilience grants may offer supplemental funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing digital portals have not been confirmed compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and potential barriers to equitable public access. A 2028 federal compliance deadline establishes a defined remediation window, but unaddressed gaps carry ongoing risk of ADA-related complaints or litigation.
The opportunity
The fixed 2028 compliance deadline supports a phased remediation approach that can align with upcoming fiscal planning cycles, distributing costs across budget years. Acting proactively reduces legal risk, improves service equity for all residents, and avoids the higher cost of reactive remediation under enforcement pressure.
