Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fatal pedestrian collision involving a police vehicle, unreliable dash cameras, and documented emergency driving risks have elevated fleet safety to a critical operational priority. The absence of integrated telematics and driver monitoring—compounded by a vacancy in fleet oversight leadership—leaves the department exposed to liability and recurring safety gaps.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 Police Division budget reflects a significant funding increase and active fleet investment, creating a timely window to modernize safety infrastructure. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement, reduce administrative burden, and accelerate deployment of integrated fleet safety solutions.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps across its public-facing web presence, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. A planned expansion of the city website amplifies the urgency to establish accessible digital infrastructure before compliance deadlines take effect.
The opportunity
A firm April 2027 compliance deadline and upcoming September 2026 budget hearings create a narrow window to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, broadens equitable resident access, and positions the city to align procurement with cooperative purchasing agreements for streamlined execution.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas mandates annual cybersecurity training, and the city carries active compliance requirements for secure credential and password management. With over $348,000 in annual IT spend and no dedicated public safety cybersecurity allocation, gaps in access control and system oversight present measurable operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Federal justice assistance grants and a significant Police Division budget increase create a timely funding pathway for cybersecurity improvements ahead of September 2026 budget hearings. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to close compliance gaps, reduce breach risk, and strengthen public trust in municipal systems.

Discuss this project →Modernize Citywide Emergency Communications Infrastructure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city relies on regional mass notification infrastructure without independently owned documentation, and recent incidents including flooding and winter weather events lack formal after-action reviews. With an Emergency Preparedness Score of 2 and citywide communications modernization cited as a top strategic priority, operational and continuity risks remain elevated.
The opportunity
An open leadership role overseeing emergency operations, combined with the FY2026–27 budget cycle and existing cooperative purchasing agreements, creates a timely window to advance this priority. Closing documented preparedness gaps now strengthens community resilience, supports compliance, and positions the city to leverage available public safety funding.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan & Hazard Mitigation Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Preparedness Score of 2 reflects critical gaps, including an unverified EOP age and review status and no documented after-action reviews following recent flood and winter weather events. Without formal hazard mitigation planning and documented processes, the city faces elevated compliance and operational risk during future incidents.
The opportunity
An open leadership position overseeing emergency operations, combined with identified federal grant funding and increased public safety budget allocations, creates a timely window to formalize EOP documentation and hazard mitigation planning. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience before the next severe weather season.
