Emergency Management Platform Consolidation & EOP Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department carries an Emergency Preparedness Score of 2, with critical gaps including recurring water-system failures, fragmented notification channels lacking performance assessment, and an Emergency Operations Plan approaching its mandatory annual review. Recent declared emergencies—a water main break and a 9-1-1 technical outage—underscore the operational risk of a split ecosystem across alerting, mass notification, and a newly upgraded Emergency Communications Center.
The opportunity
The annual EOP compliance deadline creates a near-term procurement trigger, while a recently completed grant-funded ECC modernization establishes a clear path for further integration. FY2027 budget growth with a public safety focus, incoming leadership review of existing systems, and cooperative purchasing membership support timely, streamlined action.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city relies on a fragmented mass notification ecosystem with no documented performance assessment, creating reliability and coverage gaps during declared emergencies. This split infrastructure and absence of unified notification data represent measurable compliance and operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The active FY2027 budget cycle and a new City Manager's review of existing systems create a timely window to consolidate notification infrastructure. Recent emergency communications investment signals readiness, and this project is eligible for cooperative procurement, reducing procurement friction and accelerating delivery.

Discuss this project →Emergency Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's high-value emergency vehicle fleet lacks documented dash-camera or telematics coverage, limiting incident reconstruction, emergency-driving oversight, and liability defense. Active fire apparatus modernization priorities and ongoing repair and replacement pressure make this gap an operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
A proposed FY2027 budget with a public safety emphasis and cooperative purchasing memberships create a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path. Addressing this now supports the active apparatus modernization initiative, reduces liability exposure, and positions the department ahead of the next budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Training Compliance & Credential Security Hardening
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A cybersecurity training deadline of August 2026 remains unaddressed, creating an active compliance gap that elevates organizational risk. Alongside a strategic initiative for cybersecurity and SCADA hardening, a credential management transition is under consideration, signaling broader security vulnerabilities that require near-term remediation.
The opportunity
New City Manager leadership and an active IT modernization cycle driven by ERP replacement create strong receptivity for security improvements in the current fiscal window. Addressing the overdue training mandate and credential hardening now reduces audit exposure and aligns with cooperative purchasing pathways that streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The municipality faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance requirement with a deadline of April 2028, and the current CMS platform may require accessibility remediation to meet that standard. Unaddressed gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
Proactive remediation ahead of the 2028 deadline reduces legal and compliance risk while aligning with an active IT modernization effort already underway. Addressing accessibility now leverages existing infrastructure investments and supports equitable service delivery for all residents.

Discuss this project →ERP and Financial Management System Replacement
IT Modernization · Financial Systems
High Priority
About this project
The city's current financial management system contract terminates by December 31, 2026, creating a mandatory and time-bound procurement window for a replacement ERP. Delayed action risks operational disruption to core financial functions, budget reporting, and compliance with fiscal stewardship obligations.
The opportunity
The hard contract deadline and an active FY2027 budget cycle—supported by a 5.71% increase in projected property tax revenue—create a clear funding and procurement window now. New city leadership brings added momentum for modernization, and cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline and accelerate the procurement process.
