Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active gaps across public-facing web properties against a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028, with concurrent procurement underway for a new tourism website and a pending budget request for an Information Services site. A newly appointed Public Information Officer with direct accountability for accessibility and digital enhancements reinforces the operational urgency to act within the current budget cycle.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes approved line items for new website development, creating a defined funding window to address compliance gaps before the April 2028 deadline. Acting now allows the city to consolidate digital initiatives, reduce legal and audit exposure, and improve equitable public access to government services.

Digital Services Modernization · Web Accessibility Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active procurement underway for a new tourism website and mobile application, alongside a budget request for a redesigned city website with online service portals. Both initiatives carry a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028, creating urgency to ensure all public-facing digital content meets federal accessibility standards.
The opportunity
FY2026–2027 budget is approved and procurement is already in motion, making this an immediate window to advance accessible, resident-facing digital services. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline acquisition, and the initiative is eligible for alignment with state and federal funding programs supporting digital equity and accessibility compliance.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces unresolved flood-warning siren coverage gaps, an EOP of unknown age, and documented last-mile communications deficiencies. Recent severe weather and flooding events have elevated operational risk for residents, while the Caldwell County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan update adds regional coordination urgency.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP and EMPG are active funding pathways for preparedness infrastructure, and the recently approved FY2026–2027 budget creates a timely alignment for investment. New city leadership presents an opening to advance long-deferred preparedness priorities and reduce community risk before the next severe weather season.
City-Wide IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical gaps in IT storage infrastructure and cybersecurity posture, with active compliance mandates requiring annual training and incident reporting. Aging hardware and unresolved password security requirements elevate operational and data-breach risk across city departments.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes explicit authorization for city-wide IT storage hardware, signaling near-term procurement readiness. EMPG and JAG grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, reducing local cost burden while advancing compliance and operational resilience before the next audit cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates emergency apparatus without dash-camera or telematics coverage, limiting incident documentation and accountability. A legacy GPS-only fleet system creates a fragmented operational picture, and active wildfire-response and transit infrastructure initiatives signal a fleet modernization cycle already underway.
The opportunity
Recent apparatus investment creates a natural integration point for comprehensive safety technology, and cooperative purchasing programs are available to streamline procurement within current budget cycles. Addressing this gap now improves incident visibility, supports operational continuity, and positions the city ahead of future compliance and liability exposure.
