Emergency Management & Public Warning System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates without a documented Emergency Operations Plan, faces incomplete public warning coverage due to opt-in limitations and siren gaps, and relies on an end-of-life radio system estimated at $424,568 to replace. NIMS and EOP compliance are standing mandates, and these unresolved gaps elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
September 2026 budget hearings offer a near-term funding window, and a federal justice assistance grant deadline in October 2026 may provide supplemental support. Addressing these gaps now advances NIMS compliance, strengthens community warning reach, and positions the department ahead of the next budget cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Core storage is reaching end-of-support in December 2026 and an end-of-life server replacement initiative is actively underway, creating operational continuity risk. Texas-mandated annual cybersecurity training is due by August 2026, and identified password compliance gaps elevate the department's exposure to breach and audit findings.
The opportunity
The December 2026 end-of-support deadline and a current federal justice assistance grant window closing October 2026 create a narrow, time-sensitive funding path. With the Information Services budget up 4.8% and September 2026 budget hearings approaching, this fiscal cycle is the optimal moment to advance compliant, resilient infrastructure.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Existing website and document workflows have been identified as non-compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. The April 26, 2027 federal compliance deadline creates near-term urgency to remediate gaps before audit or litigation risk escalates.
The opportunity
September 2026 budget hearings represent an immediate funding window to secure resources for remediation ahead of the 2027 deadline. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, simplifying procurement and accelerating time to compliance for residents who depend on accessible digital services.
Fleet Safety & Risk Mitigation Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has seen a 52% spike in mobile equipment insurance and a 13.5% rise in general liability costs driven by risk pool claims, signaling critical gaps in fleet oversight. A multi-year capital equipment modernization program is underway, and existing GIS infrastructure presents an opportunity for integrated fleet risk management.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs and active capital modernization funding create a timely, financially justified case for fleet telematics investment. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement, and aligning this initiative with upcoming budget hearings supports efficient use of public funds.
Police Grant Expenditure Planning for Technology Modernization
Public Safety · Law Enforcement Technology
High Priority
About this project
A funded $36,000 police technology contract upgrade is active, and an anticipated $470,000 police grant with no defined expenditure plan has been identified. Without a structured spending strategy, these funds risk misalignment with operational needs or lapsing before deployment.
The opportunity
September 2026 budget hearings represent a critical window to shape grant expenditure planning before allocations are locked. Acting now ensures public safety technology investments are purposeful, compliant, and positioned to leverage available federal justice assistance funding.
