Emergency Operations Plan & Command Center Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is critically overdue, with no publicly documented review in over a decade, while recent severe weather and water outage incidents expose residents and staff to unmitigated risk. A fragmented mass-notification ecosystem with unresolved governance gaps further undermines coordinated emergency response and readiness compliance.
The opportunity
Up to $15,000,000 in authorized capital funding includes a dedicated emergency command center line, and the FY2026–2027 budget cycle—with a hearing on September 10, 2026—presents an active procurement window. New leadership in fire and city management signals readiness to act, and cooperative purchasing programs are in place to accelerate compliant procurement.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility deadline of April 26, 2028, creating legal and operational risk across public-facing digital portals. Unresolved gaps in accessible design expose the municipality to civil rights liability and limit equitable service delivery for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget hearing on September 10, 2026 includes proposed IT funding, creating a near-term window to secure resources for remediation. Acting ahead of the 2028 federal deadline reduces legal exposure and ensures digital services remain equitable and accessible to all residents.

Cybersecurity & Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
Texas cybersecurity training mandates create an active compliance obligation, while an existing third-party remote monitoring agreement signals a gap in integrated IT oversight. Increased IT and police software maintenance budgets reflect growing investment pressure, but incomplete spend visibility complicates risk assessment and planning.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget hearing and alignment with the BJA Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program create a timely federal funding pathway for law enforcement technology improvements. Acting within this budget cycle strengthens compliance posture, reduces operational risk, and positions the jurisdiction to leverage available grant resources effectively.

Discuss this project →Patrol Vehicle Telematics & Accountability Modernization
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The department operates patrol vehicles without documented dash-camera or telematics coverage, creating measurable gaps in evidence collection, officer accountability, and liability management. A 43.8% increase in police insurance costs signals escalating risk exposure that current monitoring practices are not equipped to address.
The opportunity
Authorized certificates of obligation of up to $15,000,000 covering police vehicles and equipment provide direct budget alignment for this initiative, and cooperative purchasing programs are available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces insurance liability, strengthens public trust, and positions the department ahead of the FY2026–2027 budget review.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Alerting
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented alerting environment, with 911 dispatch managed separately from public mass notification, creating governance gaps and operational risk. Documented system issues and an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review have been stress-tested by recent severe weather and water outage incidents, elevating public safety exposure.
The opportunity
A dedicated emergency-notification budget line is included in the proposed FY2026–2027 Crime Control District budget, confirming active funding intent for near-term action. Consolidating the split ecosystem now reduces operational risk, supports EOP compliance, and aligns with cooperative purchasing programs that streamline procurement.
