EOC Modernization & Emergency Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has documented gaps in resident notification reliability, fragmented warning tools, and an unverified Emergency Operations Plan—elevating operational and compliance risk under Texas EM plan requirements. Active grant applications for EOC equipment upgrades and an existing mass notification contract approaching end-of-term create a near-term consolidation and modernization window.
The opportunity
FY 2026–27 budget hearings and active federal emergency management grant programs (HSGP, EMPG, UASI) represent a convergent funding and decision window to address preparedness gaps now. Acting within this cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens resident safety outcomes, and positions the department for unified, sustainable EOC operations.
Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization for Public Safety Systems
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department has an active mandate to modernize IT security infrastructure—including multi-factor authentication and security monitoring—across interconnected public safety systems such as CAD, RMS, body cameras, and license plate readers. Gaps in credential and endpoint security elevate operational and compliance risk across these critical systems.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY 2026 JAG grant allocation creates a near-term, defined funding path for cybersecurity improvements, and the FY 2026–27 General Fund budget is currently in an active decision window. Acting now aligns investment with grant eligibility, a cybersecurity training mandate, and State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program participation—maximizing public safety outcomes and responsible stewardship of available funds.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a gap in meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards, with a hard compliance deadline of April 26, 2027. Failure to achieve compliance creates legal exposure and restricts equitable resident access to essential digital services.
The opportunity
Active FY 2026–27 budget hearings in September 2026 create a near-term window to secure funding before the April 2027 deadline. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, expands resident access, and aligns with the city's broader digital services modernization priorities.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Two documented patrol vehicle collisions in 2025–2026, including one fatality, highlight a critical gap in driver-safety monitoring despite existing in-car cameras. The current GPS tracking solution lacks sufficient telematics depth, leaving the department without actionable data to reduce risk and liability.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget includes active vehicle replacement funding and increased public safety spending, creating a near-term procurement window. Upgrading telematics capabilities now supports officer safety, reduces incident liability, and aligns with planned capital expenditures already in the decision cycle.

Discuss this project →Inmate Phone Recording System Contract Renewal
Public Safety Technology · Corrections Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The existing inmate phone recording system contract expires December 19, 2026, creating a hard deadline for renewal or replacement. Failure to act before expiration risks an operational gap in a critical public safety and legal compliance function for the department.
The opportunity
Active FY 2026–27 budget hearings in September 2026 align directly with this procurement window, enabling timely funding decisions. Cooperative purchasing vehicles offer a streamlined, compliant path to award before the contract lapses.
