Emergency Management & Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Gas explosion incidents in March and April 2026 exposed critical gaps in public alerting, evacuation planning, and Emergency Operations Plan currency, drawing public criticism and city leadership acknowledgment. The absence of a dedicated alert system and pre-established evacuation destinations elevates resident safety risk and TDEM compliance exposure ahead of a November 2027 mandate.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget includes a 6.5% Public Safety spending increase, with council review in September ahead of the October 1 fiscal year start—creating an immediate funding decision window. Acting now addresses active compliance requirements, reduces operational risk, and positions the city to leverage available state and federal preparedness funding.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two recent vehicle accidents have generated over $41,000 in repair costs, and the absence of telematics or dash cam evidence limits incident documentation and liability management. A formal fleet modernization initiative has been identified with high urgency, underscoring operational and fiscal risk to the department.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026-27 budget allocates $119,868 specifically for police vehicles, with council review occurring in September ahead of the October 1 fiscal year start. Acting now aligns procurement with confirmed funding, reduces ongoing accident liability, and supports the incoming police leadership's modernization priorities.

Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
Texas law requires cybersecurity incidents to be reported within 48 hours, yet no formal password management plan is in place, leaving law enforcement credentials and sensitive systems exposed. This gap elevates both compliance and operational risk for the department and the residents it serves.
The opportunity
The proposed FY 2026-27 budget includes a dedicated $40,000 police IT capital allocation, and the BJA JAG grant (deadline October 9, 2026) conditionally supports cybersecurity tooling for law enforcement. Acting within this fiscal window addresses an active mandate while maximizing available public funding.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's current IT infrastructure has identified gaps in centralized management and endpoint oversight, creating operational and cybersecurity risk. A high-urgency modernization initiative is proposed for FY 2026-27, with $40,000 in dedicated police IT capital outlay and an active Texas cybersecurity incident reporting mandate requiring 48-hour compliance.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget is under council review ahead of an October 1 fiscal year start, and the BJA JAG grant (deadline October 9, 2026) explicitly funds law enforcement information systems and technology improvements. Acting now aligns procurement with both the budget decision window and an available supplemental funding path.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a compliance mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards across its public-facing digital properties and documents. While the deadline is later than other active mandates, unaddressed gaps elevate legal exposure and limit equitable access to city services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Proactively remediating accessibility gaps ahead of the compliance deadline reduces legal risk and supports broader digital service improvement goals. Existing document workflow infrastructure provides a foundation for expansion, and cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
