Cybersecurity Incident Response & Monitoring Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A July 2026 cybersecurity incident forced city systems offline and required third-party specialists, exposing critical gaps in security monitoring, backup and recovery, password management, and endpoint protection. Texas annual cybersecurity training compliance deadlines have already passed, compounding operational and regulatory risk to city services and staff.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget hearing in September 2026 represents an immediate funding decision window, and existing IT software spending already signals appetite for investment. Federal grant programs may offset remediation costs, making this an urgent, fiscally responsible moment to close security gaps and restore operational resilience.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire & EMS fleet currently lacks dash cameras, GPS telematics, and driver monitoring systems, creating measurable safety and financial exposure. A recent apparatus accident, rising insurance costs, and media attention on aging equipment underscore the urgency of closing these operational gaps.
The opportunity
A $576k capital budget for Fire/EMS vehicles and equipment is approved and ready to deploy, and the PROTECT grant deadline of October 2026 offers supplemental funding for transportation safety technology. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes available resources and directly reduces apparatus risk and liability for the community.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified, NIMS compliance mandates are unmet, and reliance on a regional mass notification system leaves critical preparedness gaps. A recent cybersecurity incident further exposed weaknesses in operational continuity and emergency response readiness.
The opportunity
The PROTECT grant deadline in October 2026 and the upcoming FY 2027 budget cycle create a near-term window to fund emergency resilience investments. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance and operational risk while strengthening coordinated response capabilities for residents and staff.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active initiative to bring its public-facing digital portal into compliance with ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 AA standards, with a regulatory deadline of 2027–2028. The initiative remains unfunded, creating compounding compliance and procurement risk as the deadline approaches.
The opportunity
The April 2028 WCAG 2.1 AA deadline establishes a firm compliance window, and the upcoming FY 2027 budget hearing presents a near-term opportunity to secure funding. Acting now allows the city to avoid enforcement exposure and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & IT Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved citywide computer replacement program and a recent cybersecurity incident have elevated endpoint visibility and management as a high-priority operational need. With annual IT and software spend exceeding budget, the city faces compounding risk from unmanaged endpoints and post-incident exposure across municipal systems.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget hearing creates an immediate funding window to advance approved IT investments alongside cybersecurity remediation. Acting now aligns with the post-incident environment, supports compliance with state cybersecurity training mandates, and positions the city to leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles for streamlined procurement.

Discuss this project →Password & Identity Access Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas mandates annual cybersecurity training, and the August 2026 compliance deadline has passed, indicating a verifiable gap in password and identity access management practices. A recent cybersecurity incident and reliance on multiple IT vendors compound access control risks across city operations.
The opportunity
The lapsed compliance deadline creates immediate legal and operational exposure, and the upcoming FY 2027 budget cycle presents a clear funding window to act. JAG program funding may apply if tied to public safety information systems, supporting a cost-effective path to closing the gap.
