Cybersecurity Compliance & Threat Exposure Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Following a 2023 cyberattack, the department faces a hard September 30, 2026 deadline to implement MFA, enforce security policies, complete vulnerability testing, and deploy managed detection and response. Fragmented post-incident tooling has left critical systems exposed, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle concludes in September 2026 with dedicated cybersecurity funding, and active grant applications—including BJA JAG and SLCGP—support eligible remediation efforts with limited local match. Acting now aligns procurement with compliance deadlines and available funding before the window closes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Following a prior cyberattack, the department has identified critical gaps in cloud backup, data recovery, and endpoint modernization including Windows 11 upgrades. These unresolved vulnerabilities elevate operational risk and weaken the city's overall cybersecurity posture.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget approval in September 2026 includes dedicated funding for these initiatives, and active SLCGP grant pursuit creates a near-term, funded procurement window. Acting now reduces recovery risk, strengthens continuity, and aligns spending with available public funding cycles.
Unify Emergency Notification and EOC Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented notification ecosystem with an unconfirmed mass notification system status, creating critical gaps in public alerting and EOC coordination. Texas mandates an emergency management plan, and ongoing hazard mitigation planning following a major flood event elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and AFG grant applications provide near-term funding pathways for unified emergency management solutions, reducing local cost burden. Aligning this investment with the current FY budget cycle and state compliance requirements positions the city to close preparedness gaps before the next hazard event.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing web properties have identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. A federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 creates firm urgency to remediate gaps across digital portals and document workflows.
The opportunity
The active FY2027 budget cycle includes dedicated funding for website modernization and accessibility initiatives, aligning remediation costs with available appropriations. Acting now ensures compliance ahead of the federal deadline while improving equitable digital access for all residents.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 34% surge in auto liability insurance premiums signals critical gaps in fleet safety technology, including insufficient driver behavior scoring, harsh-event alerting, and maintenance analytics. Without modernization, the department faces continued financial exposure and elevated operational risk to staff and the public.
The opportunity
Fleet software investment is specifically included in the FY2027 budget approval process, creating a near-term procurement window. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability exposure, supports fiscal stewardship, and positions the department to demonstrate measurable safety improvements.
Hazard Mitigation Planning After Major Flood Event
Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
Following a significant flood event, the city faces active compliance requirements under state and federal emergency management planning mandates, with ongoing gaps in unified hazard mitigation documentation. Fragmented notification systems and unresolved preparedness gaps elevate operational risk to residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Active HSGP grant applications signal funded intent for hazard mitigation, and the current budget cycle creates a near-term window to act. Advancing this initiative now reduces future disaster risk, satisfies state emergency management plan requirements, and strengthens community resilience with available federal funding support.
