Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue with no publicly documented status, and mass-notification capabilities remain fragmented across disconnected platforms. These gaps create significant regulatory risk under NIMS compliance mandates and leave residents and staff underserved during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY2026–27 budget hearing presents a near-term window to secure funding for this active strategic initiative, which carries the highest-priority preparedness gap score. Acting now reduces compliance exposure and positions the city to leverage available state and federal preparedness funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates fragmented emergency communications across disconnected platforms and outdoor sirens, with no unified multi-channel notification capability. This gap, compounded by an overdue EOP review and NIMS compliance mandate, limits reliable public reach during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2026–27 budget cycle and existing emergency management technology spend signal near-term funding capacity for consolidation. Acting now addresses overdue compliance requirements, strengthens incident response, and reduces operational risk to residents and staff.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces sharply rising vehicle and police liability insurance costs—up 62% and 18.6% respectively in FY25—with no fleet dash cameras or telematics in place, creating a critical gap in driver accountability and incident documentation despite existing license plate reader deployment.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget includes $414,100 in approved capital outlay for police vehicles, creating a timely window to integrate telematics and monitoring capabilities that can reduce liability exposure, support insurance cost containment, and strengthen officer and public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Readiness
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with no remediation plan currently in place. This regulatory gap creates measurable legal and operational risk, limiting equitable access to digital services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Increases in SaaS and technology services contract budgets signal available funding capacity, and the citywide digital modernization initiative provides a natural planning vehicle. Beginning procurement and planning now ensures compliance is achievable within the deadline while avoiding costly last-minute remediation.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's proposed FY2027 budget reflects growing investment in SaaS and technology services contracts, alongside a citywide digital modernization initiative. Without a structured cybersecurity and endpoint management framework, expanded technology adoption increases exposure to data, network, and access-control risks.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG), with an October 9, 2026 deadline, explicitly funds cybersecurity and IT management systems—including endpoint, network, and access-management solutions. Acting within the current grant window allows the city to advance modernization goals while reducing the local funding burden.

Discuss this project →Police Dispatch Contract Renewal and Technology Integration
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The regional police dispatch contract expires in September 2027, creating a firm decision window for future service delivery. The current public safety ecosystem relies on separate CAD and dispatch systems, introducing operational fragmentation and continuity risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY2026–27 budget hearing is a near-term milestone to finalize dispatch, software, and technology funding before the contract deadline. Acting now ensures service continuity, reduces transition risk, and aligns procurement with approved capital and technology budget increases.
