Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lazy Nine MUD 1A currently lacks a standalone all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan and a mass notification system, leaving the entity exposed to recurring hazards without documented exercises or incident communications protocols. Active mandates—including drought planning, critical-load reporting, and HMAP compliance—combined with the establishment of a new emergency communication office, elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated federal funding through Homeland Security and Urban Area Security Initiative grant programs provides direct budget pathways for this initiative, reducing reliance on local appropriations. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns procurement with compliance deadlines, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens community resilience before the next hazard event.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An imminent cybersecurity contract expiration demands urgent action to avoid a critical coverage gap, while a newly appointed Interim CISO is driving alignment to NIST and ISO 27001 standards. With $20 million in recently approved technology investments and secured grant funding for role-based cybersecurity training and network threat management, the compliance and operational stakes are high.
The opportunity
The contract expiration creates a hard near-term procurement deadline, and approved budget plus secured grant funding provide rare, concurrent fiscal clarity. Acting now ensures continuity of cybersecurity protections, advances compliance maturity, and aligns with the current leadership mandate to modernize the city's security posture.
Role-Based Cybersecurity Training grant
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG compliance gaps surfaced through an active Enterprise Case Management RFP and a public-facing portal redesign, with digital equity named as a formal strategic initiative. Without remediation, the city risks ADA-related liability and unequal access to services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
An in-flight RFP and a budget-approved portal redesign create a near-term procurement entry point with defined compliance targets already scoped. Addressing WCAG requirements now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, supports digital equity mandates, and reduces legal and operational exposure.
Cloud & Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city is executing an active cloud strategy and Microsoft roadmap backed by $20M in approved technology investments, with noted budget increases across IT consulting, cloud software, and public safety IT maintenance. A fragmented endpoint and identity environment, an interim CISO appointment, and imminent cybersecurity contract expirations elevate compliance and operational risk under NIST/ISO 27001 standards.
The opportunity
Budget is already approved and allocated, reducing procurement lead time, while secured grant funding for cybersecurity training and network threat management provides additional funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle enables consolidation of a split technology ecosystem, strengthens security posture, and maximizes the value of committed public investment.
Fleet Modernization and EV Infrastructure Planning
Fleet Management · Smart Mobility
High Priority
About this project
The city has active fleet initiatives underway, including EV infrastructure planning and vehicle acquisition, supported within a broad technology investment framework. Contractor vehicle inspection findings signal an indirect need for improved fleet monitoring to maintain operational accountability and service continuity.
The opportunity
Fleet modernization aligns with approved strategic plans and a $6.6B adopted budget, with GIS integration capabilities already in place to accelerate implementation. Advancing this initiative within the current fiscal framework supports long-term cost stewardship and positions the city for relevant state and federal funding opportunities.
