Emergency Communications & Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates fragmented emergency notification systems with documented resilience failures following storm damage, coverage gaps for rural residents, and an undocumented Emergency Operations Plan. NIMS compliance obligations and known alert system deficiencies elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 draft budget includes dedicated Emergency & Health allocations, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement. Consolidating now addresses active compliance gaps, strengthens community-wide notification coverage, and positions the city to steward public safety funds effectively.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces non-discretionary cybersecurity mandates under Texas Government Code §2054.603/SB 271, requiring documented password security controls and incident reporting. No dedicated password management solution is currently in place, creating measurable compliance exposure as broader IT and SCADA modernization initiatives are already underway.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (deadline October 2026) explicitly supports cybersecurity and technology improvements, offering a viable funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with active IT budget allocations and satisfies a standing state compliance mandate before audit risk escalates.

Discuss this project →Modernize Endpoint & Infrastructure Monitoring Capabilities
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city's active IT modernization initiatives—including a Risk and Resilience Assessment and SCADA Master Planning—have surfaced documented gaps in endpoint visibility and infrastructure monitoring. Without modern monitoring capabilities, the city faces elevated cybersecurity risk and operational exposure across critical systems.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 IT budget allocation and the BJA Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (deadline October 2026) provide aligned funding pathways for technology improvements. Acting within this fiscal window supports Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and strengthens citywide infrastructure resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city must meet the federal DOJ WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standard by April 26, 2027, with documented gaps across public-facing digital portals and documents. Non-compliance carries legal exposure and reputational risk, and document accessibility remains an unresolved gap alongside existing platform needs.
The opportunity
The firm federal deadline and active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle create an immediate decision window to fund and advance remediation. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement, and addressing gaps now reduces legal liability while ensuring equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Modernize Public Safety RMS and CAD Systems
Public Safety Technology · Emergency Dispatch
High Priority
About this project
The Police Department is actively pursuing a transition to a cloud-based Records Management System and Computer-Aided Dispatch platform, while the Fire Department requires e-dispatch integration. Current legacy systems present operational continuity and interoperability risks across public safety functions.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (deadline October 2026) provides a time-sensitive federal funding path for this initiative. With RMS/CAD allocations reflected in the draft FY 2026–2027 budget, the city is positioned to act within the current fiscal and grant cycle.

Discuss this project →Modernize Patrol Fleet Safety & Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Storm damage has taken patrol vehicles out of commission, and the city lacks documented modern fleet-monitoring capability — with the last known fleet upgrade dating to 2009. This gap exposes the police department to compounding safety, liability, and operational continuity risks.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget's positive capital spending outlook and access to cooperative purchasing vehicles provide viable, near-term procurement paths. Addressing this now reduces officer safety risk and positions the department to sustain patrol operations through future weather events.
