Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, its warning siren is inoperable, and a recent mass notification platform transition has introduced continuity gaps. These compounding failures create direct public safety exposure and unmet compliance obligations for emergency preparedness mandates.
The opportunity
Existing technology budget allocations and cooperative purchasing eligibility reduce procurement barriers, while the city's demonstrated willingness to invest in emergency communications signals readiness to act. Addressing these gaps now protects residents, satisfies overdue compliance requirements, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Police In-Car Video & Digital Evidence Management Replacement
Public Safety Technology · Digital Evidence Management
High Priority
About this project
The city's current police in-car video and digital evidence management service expires October 31, 2026, creating a hard deadline for renewal or replacement. Failure to act risks gaps in evidence integrity, chain-of-custody compliance, and continuity of law enforcement operations.
The opportunity
The October 2026 contract end date defines a clear and immediate procurement window. Participation in TIPS cooperative purchasing reduces procurement complexity and timeline, while documented IT and software budget allocations support a funded path forward this fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Managed IT Services & VoIP Modernization Decision
IT Modernization · Municipal Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city's managed IT services contract requires a renewal or replacement decision by December 31, 2026, while a parallel initiative to modernize the VoIP phone system and expand computer infrastructure across departments signals active, time-sensitive IT investment needs. Delayed action risks service continuity gaps and missed procurement windows for critical municipal operations.
The opportunity
An 18% increase in the tax levy and eligibility under the BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant provide concrete funding pathways to advance this project within the current fiscal cycle. Acting before the contract deadline ensures continuity, strengthens cybersecurity posture, and maximizes available public funding.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2028, a non-discretionary federal mandate. Failure to remediate accessibility gaps exposes the city to legal and compliance risk while limiting equitable digital access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Remediation timelines for WCAG compliance typically require multi-year planning, making early action critical to avoid costly last-minute overhauls. Existing digital tool investments provide a foundation to build on, and this work may align with cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline acquisition.
TIPS Cooperative
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Training & Credential Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city operates under an active mandate for annual cybersecurity training and has an identified need for structured credential and password management. Without a formalized solution in place, the city faces recurring compliance exposure and elevated risk of unauthorized access to municipal systems and sensitive data.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant provides a direct, eligible funding path for cybersecurity and IT management initiatives, reducing the local budget burden. The annual nature of the training mandate supports recurring budget alignment, making this an ideal project to advance in the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Risk Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The police department's auto liability and collision insurance costs have shown significant year-over-year volatility, with notable increases projected through FY2027. Recent fleet expansion through new vehicle purchases amplifies financial exposure and the need for proactive risk controls.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs create a quantifiable ROI case for fleet risk mitigation technology, and the city's active fleet growth makes this an ideal entry point. Addressing vehicle risk now aligns with upcoming fiscal planning cycles and supports responsible stewardship of public safety budgets.
