Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a verifiable Emergency Operations Plan, an agency-wide mass-notification system, and documented HSEEP exercises. A split emergency communication structure between the city and county compounds these gaps, elevating compliance and operational risk for residents and responders.
The opportunity
Two grant programs with near-term windows — one opening soon and another expected in October 2026 — provide viable funding pathways for this initiative. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and positions the department ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Instrumentation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks dash cameras and telematics across emergency vehicles, creating gaps in collision documentation and preventive maintenance tracking. Active grant-funded acquisitions of a new fire truck and a proposed additional vehicle make immediate safety instrumentation a pressing operational need.
The opportunity
A funded capital outlay of $204,650 for new vehicle acquisition creates a direct, near-term entry point for fleet safety instrumentation. Acting within the current budget cycle ensures new assets are equipped from day one, reducing liability exposure and supporting long-term fleet accountability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a split digital services stack with no roadmap to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. The absence of any existing compliance plan signals an early-stage gap with growing regulatory and litigation risk.
The opportunity
WCAG compliance mandates are an active legal driver, and with no incumbent solution in place, there is no displacement barrier to moving forward. A modest increase in the software budget and alignment with the upcoming fiscal cycle create a practical entry point for initiating a compliant digital services roadmap.

Discuss this project →Centralized Identity & Credential Security Implementation
Identity Management · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
No centralized password or identity management solution is currently in place, creating measurable credential security gaps across the organization. This exposure is compounded by an active leadership transition, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and policy inconsistency during a period of elevated operational vulnerability.
The opportunity
The current leadership transition creates a natural window for process re-evaluation and new solution adoption, with no incumbent system to displace. A modest but confirmed increase in the IT and software budget, combined with cooperative procurement vehicles, supports a cost-effective path forward within the current fiscal cycle.
IT & Software Modernization for Municipal Operations
IT Modernization · Municipal Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department's current IT and software investment is modest at $20,000 annually, with a recent budget increase signaling growing recognition of unmet technology needs. Leadership transitions and the absence of incumbent solutions create operational risk and an opening to address foundational IT gaps before they compound.
The opportunity
An incremental budget increase, combined with an active organizational transition, positions this entity to act during the current fiscal cycle before needs grow more costly to address. No incumbent solutions means faster adoption, and cooperative procurement vehicles may reduce administrative burden and cost.
