Emergency Notification & Mass Communications Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a split emergency notification ecosystem, creating coordination gaps and preparedness deficiencies that elevate public safety risk. The Hazard Mitigation Plan remains unadopted—blocking FEMA grant eligibility—and a vacant regional coordination role compounds response readiness concerns.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget adoption on October 1, 2026, and a PIO certification deadline of September 1, 2026, create immediate planning pressure. Consolidating now aligns with the approved Interoperable Communications Project, supports FEMA grant eligibility, and advances a named strategic initiative already in motion.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces active Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates without adequate password management or multi-factor authentication controls in place. This gap elevates risk of unauthorized access, audit findings, and potential breach liability affecting staff, residents, and public systems.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Local Formula grant deadline in October 2026 offers a direct funding path, and the upcoming FY 2026-27 budget adoption creates a near-term procurement window. Acting now addresses non-discretionary compliance mandates while aligning with an already-identified strategic security initiative.

Discuss this project →Citywide IT Infrastructure and Endpoint Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A citywide initiative to replace aging computer equipment and modernize IT infrastructure is underway, with dedicated funding already approved. Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and the need for stronger endpoint management create operational and regulatory risk if modernization is delayed.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Local Formula grant deadline of October 2026 and the FY 2026–27 budget cycle starting October 1 create a defined procurement window. Acting now maximizes approved funding, satisfies compliance requirements, and reduces operational risk before the new fiscal year.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Video Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A severe patrol vehicle collision resulting in a critical officer injury in December 2025 exposed a critical gap in fleet monitoring and incident reconstruction capability. Rising auto insurance costs and the absence of fleet safety technology have created compounding operational and financial risk for the department.
The opportunity
A budget-approved patrol vehicle and equipment replacement program creates a timely entry point for integrating fleet safety technology, with quantifiable insurance cost reduction as a measurable ROI driver. Existing GIS infrastructure supports co-integration, and cooperative purchasing agreements may simplify and accelerate procurement.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA gaps across public-facing digital portals create legal compliance risk and limit equitable resident access to city services. Remediation is feasible through existing CMS and document productivity platforms already in use.
The opportunity
The April 26, 2027 federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates a fixed compliance window, making staged remediation planning a near-term priority. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the city to sequence work by risk severity and align costs with available budget and funding pathways.
Interoperable Communications Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A split ecosystem between local and county emergency communications systems creates coordination gaps that elevate risk during critical incidents. This named strategic initiative is actively driving the need to unify public safety communications across agencies to ensure reliable, interoperable response.
The opportunity
This project is budget-approved or grant-funded, reducing procurement barriers, and aligns directly with the FY 2026–27 budget adoption cycle and emergency preparedness mandates. Acting now supports compliance timelines, strengthens regional coordination, and advances public safety outcomes for residents and first responders.
