Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
La Grulla's Emergency Operations Plan is outdated, no city-operated mass notification system exists, and recent flooding and water system failures exposed critical communication gaps. The city remains non-compliant with NIMS requirements and has no annual plan review process, elevating risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 EMPG Program provides a direct funding path for emergency management planning, equipment, and interoperable communications, reducing local budget burden. A new public safety leadership appointment creates a timely window to advance compliance, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city currently has no documented plan to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across its public-facing web properties, exposing it to legal and regulatory risk. With digital services managed by a third-party provider, gaps in accessible document and PDF workflows further compound the compliance burden for residents who rely on equitable online access.
The opportunity
A firm compliance deadline of April 2028 creates a defined planning window to act now, before remediation costs escalate. Cooperative procurement pathways are available, and proactive investment in accessible digital services supports equitable public access while reducing legal exposure ahead of the deadline.

Cybersecurity · Municipal Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a documented solution for cybersecurity compliance mandates, including password management and security training requirements. This gap exposes the police department and broader municipal operations to regulatory penalties and operational risk.
The opportunity
A leadership transition within the police department and positive budget signals — including increased sales tax collections and capital fund transfers — create a timely window to act. Addressing this compliance gap now reduces institutional risk and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Operations Visibility
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's police fleet lacks dash cameras and telematics, leaving vehicle operations largely unmonitored and claims and maintenance history undocumented. A new-unit technology transition compounds this gap, increasing liability exposure and safety risk for the department and the public it serves.
The opportunity
A police vehicle modernization initiative signals organizational readiness, and available CDBG funding presents an adjacent capital pathway to address fleet visibility gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure and supports the incoming police leadership's operational priorities.

Discuss this project →Emergency Communications Infrastructure Consolidation
Emergency Management · Interoperable Communications
High Priority
About this project
A split ecosystem between municipal and county emergency communications systems has created interoperability gaps that hinder coordinated response. Active infrastructure investment—including a recent police radio grant—signals urgency to unify systems and close critical communication continuity risks.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 EMPG Program directly funds interoperable communications and IT infrastructure, offering a strong alignment for near-term action. Consolidating now reduces operational risk, supports NIMS compliance, and positions the city to maximize available federal funding before the cycle closes.
