Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture After Incident
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Following a 2025 cyber incident, the city lacks a documented password policy and is actively reassessing its cybersecurity infrastructure. This gap creates significant compliance and operational risk, leaving systems and public data vulnerable to further compromise.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing in September 2026 creates a defined decision window, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG grant offers a direct funding path for cybersecurity improvements. Acting now reduces ongoing exposure and aligns remediation with available public safety funding cycles.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & IT Resilience Modernization
Cybersecurity & IT Resilience · Endpoint & Backup Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A citywide initiative to modernize technology backup, cloud backup, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity resilience is underway, with no named endpoint management incumbent in place. A 2025 cyber incident has exposed gaps in endpoint posture and credential governance, elevating operational and compliance risk across city systems.
The opportunity
The post-incident review and active modernization initiative create a clear, near-term window to strengthen endpoint and backup resilience. JAG grant eligibility and the September 2026 budget hearing provide aligned funding pathways and a defined decision timeline for advancing this work.

Discuss this project →Emergency Management & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a verified emergency plan, has an unconfirmed mass notification operational status, and has not conducted recent exercises or audits. With active EOC and generator projects underway, fragmented emergency communications present escalating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
An awarded emergency-response communications grant and $295K in dedicated public safety tech budget create a timely funding window. Consolidating notification and emergency management capabilities now aligns with active infrastructure investments and the upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget cycle.

Discuss this project →EOC Facility Build-Out & Infrastructure Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively constructing a new Emergency Operations Center and deploying emergency generators, representing a major capital investment in continuity-of-operations infrastructure. Gaps in emergency plan verification and exercise documentation elevate compliance and operational readiness risk during the transition.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle reflects a significant increase in the Central Services Fund, and an emergency-response communications grant has already been awarded, signaling available capital. Acting now ensures technology and communications systems are integrated during construction rather than retrofitted at greater cost.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fleet of 350+ municipal vehicles operates without a telematics solution, creating visibility gaps in driver behavior, vehicle utilization, and incident response. Older specialty units in the fleet heighten preventive maintenance and liability concerns without data to support proactive intervention.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget includes a significant increase to the Central Services Fund supporting fleet and facilities, creating a timely funding pathway. Establishing telematics now reduces operational risk, supports stewardship of public assets, and positions the department ahead of the upcoming budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An active WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate requires updates to public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and inequitable resident access if gaps remain unaddressed. Unresolved compliance deficiencies risk ADA-related liability and erode public trust in digital service delivery.
The opportunity
The compliance timeline is active, making remediation a near-term budget priority alignable with the upcoming FY 2026–2027 planning cycle and the city's existing IT and software spend. Staging remediation by severity allows for phased investment while reducing legal and operational risk incrementally.
