Emergency Management Plan Update & Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The countywide emergency notification system lacks real-time capability, the emergency plan's review status is unverified, and a fragmented split-notification ecosystem creates coordination risk. Explicit mandates under Texas Government Code §418.106 and TDEM's 2026 planning update require immediate governance action.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY 2026–2027 budget opens an active execution window, and the FY 2026 EMPG Program provides a direct funding pathway with leadership already aligned on emergency preparedness as a strategic priority. Acting now addresses compliance deadlines, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community-wide response readiness.

Public Safety Infrastructure · Capital Project Delivery
High Priority
About this project
The City of Hewitt Fire Department is actively constructing and commissioning Fire Station #2, a top strategic priority backed by a 19.1% year-over-year budget increase in the adopted FY 2026–2027 cycle. The scale of this expansion introduces operational, technology, and infrastructure integration requirements that must be addressed during the active commissioning window to avoid costly delays or gaps in public safety readiness.
The opportunity
With capital funds confirmed and construction in-flight, the current commissioning window is the optimal moment to bundle technology and infrastructure needs into the project scope. Acting now avoids retrofit costs, aligns with the active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, and ensures the station opens fully operational and mission-ready.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department faces unaddressed fleet safety risks including emergency-response collision exposure, aging apparatus, and a complete absence of dash cameras and telematics. Without visibility into vehicle operation and incident documentation, the department carries growing liability and evidence gaps with no current mitigation in place.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY 2026–2027 budget reflects a 19.1% departmental increase, opening an active execution window for capital and safety investments. Cooperative purchasing access can streamline procurement, enabling the department to close fleet safety gaps before operational or liability risks escalate.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a defined WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline of April 2028, with existing ADA and accessibility gaps across its website and documents creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. An active website redesign initiative is already underway, making this a critical window to embed compliance into the project lifecycle.
The opportunity
Aligning accessibility remediation with the current redesign effort avoids costly retrofits and reduces legal risk before the 2028 deadline. Work initiated within the current budget cycle can be staged by severity, supporting near-term compliance wins and responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Training Compliance & Credential Security
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A mandated cybersecurity training deadline of July 31, 2026 requires immediate action, while broader IT security gaps—surfaced by public safety technology issues citywide—signal unaddressed credential and access risks across departments.
The opportunity
The hard July 2026 compliance deadline, combined with a recently adopted FY 2026–2027 budget and EMPG-aligned funding pathways for cybersecurity components, creates a narrow window to act within current appropriations and avoid audit exposure.
