Citywide IT Infrastructure Modernization & Endpoint Security
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city is advancing a citywide IT modernization initiative addressing cybersecurity gaps, fragmented endpoint and asset management, and expanded police IT capacity. A split ecosystem for service-ticket and asset management, combined with an unknown incumbent endpoint platform, creates operational risk and limits centralized visibility across departments.
The opportunity
Budget hearings are scheduled for September 2026, with a proposed FY2027 IT budget of $2.38M including a $532,237 increase in software licensing—creating an immediate funding decision window. JAG, HSGP, and EMPG grants offer eligible funding paths for cybersecurity and endpoint management, reducing reliance on general fund dollars.
Citywide Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces documented cybersecurity compliance gaps, including unmet requirements for annual staff training, workstation locking policies, and no evidenced password manager deployment for FY2026. These deficiencies elevate organizational risk across departments and create exposure to credential-based threats and audit findings.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes a significant increase in IT software funding, with the September 2026 adoption cycle serving as the key decision milestone. JAG and HSGP grant programs explicitly identify cybersecurity technology as eligible, offering additional funding pathways to advance compliance and reduce operational risk this fiscal cycle.
Police Fleet Modernization & Asset Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Aging police vehicles and a documented injury collision signal elevated officer and public safety risk, while fragmented fleet asset management and work-order tracking reduce operational visibility. The FY2027 budget explicitly funds vehicle replacements, making structured fleet modernization both a safety imperative and a funded priority.
The opportunity
The September 2026 budget adoption window is the near-term decision point for securing FY2027 vehicle replacement and fleet management funding. Acting within this cycle reduces liability exposure, improves asset lifecycle oversight, and positions the city to maximize already-allocated public safety resources.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city is standing up an independent Emergency Management Program with no current Emergency Operations Plan in place, while relying on a regional notification system with unresolved contract status. Lessons from catastrophic flooding have exposed critical preparedness gaps, and outstanding NIMS compliance and EOP review mandates elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant programs explicitly support emergency management technology and planning, and the initiative carries approved funding intent within the current budget cycle. Acting now closes compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to capture available federal grant dollars before the window closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, requiring accessible digital services for all residents. A concurrent digital infrastructure modernization effort and an expiring web services contract in April 2027 compound procurement urgency, while accessibility funding remains unallocated.
The opportunity
Converging contract and compliance deadlines in spring 2027 create a defined window for budget action, with FY2027 planning cycles underway now. Proactively addressing accessibility gaps reduces legal and audit exposure while improving equitable public access to city services.

Discuss this project →911 Call-Management System Enhancement
Emergency Communications · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a recognized operational need to modernize its 911 call-management infrastructure and call-handling capabilities, approved as a strategic initiative. Gaps in emergency communications systems elevate response risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Funding intent is established within the FY2027 budget cycle, with adoption targeted for September 2026, creating an immediate planning and procurement window. HSGP and EMPG grants may provide supplemental funding, reducing local cost burden while advancing public safety outcomes.
