Modernize Emergency Communications & Preparedness Infrastructure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City faces critical emergency preparedness gaps including rural warning coverage deficiencies, communications resilience failures, and a fragmented dual-platform alert ecosystem that compounds operational risk. An overdue EOP review cycle and active NIMS compliance mandates elevate urgency for residents and first responders alike.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget decision window closes in September 2026, with $51,000 already proposed for Fire Department equipment and an authorized grant submission of up to $200,000 for CAD/RMS modernization. Acting now aligns with compliance deadlines, new Fire Department leadership priorities, and available grant funding pathways.

Public Safety Technology · Emergency Operations
High Priority
About this project
The City's legacy Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management System presents operational continuity and efficiency gaps that directly affect Fire Department and emergency response performance. Migration to a cloud-based platform is an active priority under new Fire Department leadership, with procurement momentum already underway.
The opportunity
An authorized grant submission of up to $200,000 for this migration is already in motion, creating a strong near-term funding pathway with active budget alignment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports new leadership priorities, reduces operational risk, and advances the City's broader emergency management modernization goals.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas state law mandates cybersecurity training and certification by August 31, 2026, creating an urgent compliance deadline for municipal IT operations. The City's current security posture includes multiple tools but has identified password management gaps that elevate risk to city systems and resident data.
The opportunity
A 33.3% IT budget increase and $63,000 in capital allocations signal available funding ahead of the August 2026 deadline. Acting now ensures compliance, reduces breach exposure, and allows procurement through cooperative purchasing channels that streamline the acquisition process.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City's public-facing digital assets are currently evaluated against WCAG 2.0, while a federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2028. This documented gap exposes the City to legal and civil-rights risk and limits equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Beginning remediation now—rather than near the 2028 deadline—reduces last-minute cost pressure and aligns with the City's stated digital-accessibility strategic initiative. Early action supports equitable service delivery and positions the City to leverage the upcoming fiscal cycle for phased, budget-conscious implementation.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department operates a mixed-age apparatus fleet with no documented dash cameras, telematics, or driver safety monitoring in place, creating measurable liability and proactive safety risk. A five-year apparatus replacement program is underway, and a 25% fuel budget increase confirms growing fleet activity without corresponding safety oversight.
The opportunity
New Fire Department leadership and an active apparatus replacement cycle create a timely entry point for fleet safety modernization, with two identified grant opportunities — one rolling and one expected in October 2026 — conditionally covering vehicle and apparatus equipment. Cooperative purchasing options are available to simplify procurement and align with the upcoming fiscal planning window.
