Cybersecurity Policy & Credential Management Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · Credential & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A citywide cybersecurity policy adopted in March 2026 mandates annual training and state IT reporting, while CJIS standards impose strict credential and password management requirements. Gaps in compliance expose the department to audit risk and potential loss of access to criminal justice systems.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 public safety budget cycle closing September 30 creates a near-term funding window, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG grant (up to $4.9M) explicitly covers IT management and security/password systems. Acting now aligns with leadership-backed policy priorities and secures grant-eligible funding before the cycle closes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recently adopted citywide cybersecurity policy and DIR reporting requirements have exposed gaps in centralized endpoint oversight. With lean internal IT capacity and a modest annual technology budget, the department faces elevated compliance and operational risk without managed tooling in place.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant explicitly covers IT management and information systems, offering a direct, near-term funding pathway. With the public safety budget cycle closing September 30, acting now aligns investment with both grant eligibility and fiscal-year planning windows.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is of unknown age and status, Smart911 contract details remain unresolved, and dispatch and mass notification systems operate as fragmented silos. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk, undermining coordinated response for residents and regional partners.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 public safety budget cycle and a funded regional emergency management contract create a near-term window to consolidate systems and close preparedness gaps. EMPG and Homeland Security grant eligibility may offset local costs while advancing compliance and regional coordination with Rusk County.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has sustained back-to-back auto insurance premium increases of 35% and 25%, driven by a documented history of preventable crashes and no dash-camera or telematics coverage in place. Without visibility into driver behavior and vehicle activity, the city faces continued financial exposure and unmitigated liability risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle is a critical planning window to demonstrate measurable risk reduction and offset rising insurance costs. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce procurement barriers, and telematics investments can be structured to align with available public safety funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Readiness
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federally mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility deadline of April 2028, with an ADA compliance initiative already underway but currently unfunded. Without a secured funding path and procurement plan, the existing web platform may fall short of compliance, exposing the city to legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a near-term window to secure funding before the compliance deadline tightens, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement. Acting now allows the city to plan methodically, avoid emergency remediation costs, and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.
