Modernize Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is of unknown age and status, and its current mass notification system has documented limitations — creating measurable gaps in emergency preparedness and public safety response. Without a validated EOP and reliable notification infrastructure, residents and first responders face elevated risk during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Active Homeland Security Grant Program awards — including a Fire Department-specific allocation — provide direct funding alignment, while the upcoming FY27 budget cycle and new Fire Department leadership create a near-term window to advance integrated emergency management capabilities.
Public Safety Radio & Communications Infrastructure Upgrade
Public Safety · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
The city has a funded strategic initiative to upgrade public safety radio infrastructure, with an existing communications contract approaching expiration and creating an imminent decision point. Delayed action risks service continuity gaps for first responders and emergency operations during a period of identified preparedness vulnerabilities.
The opportunity
The contract expiration creates a defined procurement window that aligns with FY27 budget adoption and available Homeland Security Grant Program funding. Acting now enables the city to modernize critical communications infrastructure, strengthen emergency response capacity, and maximize eligible grant offsets before the fiscal cycle closes.
Citywide Fleet Safety & Telematics Expansion
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city sustains approximately 52 vehicle accidents annually, generating significant liability exposure and a documented history of highway incident-scene strikes. An active camera system upgrade in Solid Waste Services confirms a recognized fleet safety gap, while other municipal departments remain without equivalent protections.
The opportunity
Budget allocations are already identified for fleet camera upgrades, and cooperative purchasing programs are in place to accelerate procurement across departments. Expanding now leverages existing momentum, reduces citywide liability risk, and aligns with the upcoming FY27 budget cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a Texas annual cybersecurity certification mandate with an overdue need to consolidate enterprise password management under a unified security platform. Fragmented credential management creates measurable compliance and operational risk across city departments and IT infrastructure.
The opportunity
Texas certification deadlines and the upcoming FY27 budget cycle create a near-term window to act, with BJA JAG funding potentially available when tied to public safety use cases. Consolidating now reduces audit exposure, strengthens security posture, and aligns with active IT modernization investments.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city must bring all public-facing digital portals into compliance with ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2027. Failure to meet this mandated deadline carries legal liability and limits equitable access to city services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2027 compliance deadline is fixed and non-negotiable, making the FY27 budget adoption window a critical moment to fund and launch implementation with adequate lead time. Acting now reduces legal exposure and ensures all residents retain uninterrupted, equitable access to essential city services.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city has active investments in fiber infrastructure, network switch upgrades, and an enterprise software agreement, signaling a broad IT modernization agenda. Without unified endpoint management and IT operations tooling, the expanded environment introduces operational risk, visibility gaps, and potential compliance exposure.
The opportunity
Dedicated IT modernization budget allocations and the approaching FY27 budget cycle create a timely window to close endpoint management gaps. Cooperative purchasing programs available to the city can streamline procurement and accelerate deployment, reducing risk while maximizing stewardship of public funds.
