Reduce Fleet Liability Through Telematics & Safety Technology
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent officer-involved crash and a prior $1.4M settlement tied to dashcam footage expose significant liability risk for this self-insured city. Without active fleet telematics, future incidents carry compounding financial and operational consequences for the municipality and the public it serves.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including COPS TEP, JAG, and HSGP explicitly identify fleet safety and telematics as eligible uses, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined procurement path. Acting within the current grant cycle can reduce liability exposure, improve officer safety, and preserve general fund reserves.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has unclear local emergency management governance, leaving critical preparedness gaps unaddressed. The current mass notification system has documented reliability failures, undermining public safety communications when residents and staff need them most.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including COPS TEP, JAG, and HSGP identify emergency management technologies as eligible expenditures, creating a near-term funding pathway with limited local match. Resolving the EOP gap and stabilizing notification infrastructure now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Audit-Driven Cybersecurity and Password Management Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A FY23 audit identified material weaknesses in internal controls, with a remediation deadline of December 31, 2024, creating significant compliance and fiscal risk. The city's existing Microsoft environment offers a natural integration path for password management improvements, but unresolved deficiencies leave systems and public data exposed.
The opportunity
The hard remediation deadline drives immediate urgency, and active IT modernization efforts signal organizational readiness to act. Grant programs such as JAG and HSGP may offer eligible funding paths, making this an opportune moment to close audit gaps and strengthen internal controls ahead of the fiscal year.
IT Systems & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Data Governance
High Priority
About this project
A high-profile water-billing migration error and resulting public complaints have created political urgency for IT and accounting system improvements. Gaps in centralized endpoint and IT management persist, while a prior audit identified material weaknesses requiring remediation—elevating operational and compliance risk citywide.
The opportunity
Active IT procurement, an annual technology spend near $500K, and cooperative purchasing agreements signal readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and systems management gaps now supports audit remediation, strengthens internal controls, and restores public confidence in city operations.

Public Records Compliance · Government Transparency
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a gap in structured, compliant public records request handling and has moved to address it through active procurement of a FOIA management platform. Without a formalized system, staff face operational inefficiencies, inconsistent response tracking, and elevated risk of non-compliance with public records law.
The opportunity
Procurement is already in motion, making this an ideal moment to align implementation planning with the current fiscal cycle and ensure the solution meets compliance and transparency mandates. A new City Clerk and active IT modernization efforts signal organizational readiness to advance this initiative efficiently.
