Fire Fleet Safety and Vehicle Tracking Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Lake Dunlap VFD operates an aging fire apparatus fleet with documented mechanical failures that have directly delayed emergency response, creating immediate safety, operational, and compliance risks. Out-of-date gear and deferred repairs have been publicly acknowledged, elevating urgency for the department and the community it serves.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget includes dedicated allocations for fleet tracking and camera systems, and a cooperative contract provides a streamlined procurement path for qualifying purchases. Acting within this budget cycle advances fire apparatus reliability, strengthens response readiness, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lake Dunlap VFD lacks a confirmed Emergency Operations Plan and faces continuity risks from an active regional mass notification platform transition, while a critical funding shortfall threatens ongoing operations. These compounding gaps elevate risk to community safety and emergency response readiness.
The opportunity
The Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program represents an active grant pathway to address equipment and planning needs with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle—supported by cooperative contracting for expedited procurement—reduces compliance exposure and protects uninterrupted emergency response for the community.

ADA Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The City of New Braunfels has identified gaps in public-facing digital portals that create legal exposure and limit resident access to essential services. An active ADA Transition Plan Implementation initiative signals leadership commitment to closing these compliance and service delivery gaps.
The opportunity
With an ADA transition initiative already underway, the current fiscal cycle is the right moment to accelerate remediation and reduce legal risk before gaps escalate. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable public service delivery and aligns with an upcoming leadership transition that may reshape strategic priorities.
Network Refresh & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Asset Management
High Priority
About this project
The City of New Braunfels is carrying significant infrastructure debt, with a planned complete network refresh, an asset management needs assessment, and a migration away from a costly virtual environment. These gaps create operational risk, inefficiency, and exposure that require structured modernization planning before they compound further.
The opportunity
With no incumbent solutions in place, these are greenfield initiatives aligned to active planning cycles and supported by an annual IT and software spend exceeding $3.7 million. Advancing modernization efforts ahead of the City Manager's May 2027 transition ensures strategic continuity and protects long-term operational outcomes.
Strengthening Municipal Cybersecurity & Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City of New Braunfels has identified gaps in endpoint management, mobile device management, and credential/privileged access security, with a new Cybersecurity Administrator role planned for FY2027. Without a formalized incident response plan and unified endpoint controls, the city faces elevated exposure to breaches, data loss, and operational disruption.
The opportunity
With a dedicated cybersecurity position entering the FY2027 budget and over $3.7M in annual IT spend signaling strong institutional commitment, the timing is favorable to advance endpoint and identity security initiatives. Acting within the current planning cycle allows the city to reduce risk, meet emerging compliance expectations, and establish a mature, scalable security posture.
