Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has confirmed capability gaps, and an out-of-service outdoor warning siren further weakens emergency alerting for residents. Multiple emergency-technology contracts expire September 30, 2026, creating a hard deadline for replacement procurement.
The opportunity
The FY26-27 budget explicitly allocates $115,000 for a new mass notification system, with funding active and leadership aligned on the gap. Acting within this fiscal window ensures continuity of emergency alerting and avoids a lapse in public safety coverage.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity operates with an unverified Emergency Operations Plan and a fragmented early-warning technology stack, creating critical gaps in coordinated incident response. Expiring emergency-technology contracts on 2026-09-30 and an out-of-service warning siren elevate operational and public safety risk ahead of the new fiscal year.
The opportunity
The adopted FY26-27 budget allocates $225,000 for this initiative effective October 1, 2026, creating a defined, funded procurement window. Acting now ensures continuity of emergency operations, closes compliance gaps, and delivers coordinated community lifeline capabilities before existing contracts lapse.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
At least one outdoor warning siren is currently out of service, directly limiting the community's ability to receive timely alerts during emergencies. This gap is a documented priority within both the Emergency Preparedness and Strategic Initiatives plans, elevating public safety and operational risk.
The opportunity
This upgrade is an explicitly funded FY27 strategic initiative, with budget already adopted and aligned to a broader emergency preparedness modernization effort. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity of public alerting capability and complements parallel mass notification investments already underway.

Cybersecurity · IT Risk & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical gaps in data loss prevention and IT vendor risk management as part of a broader cybersecurity controls initiative. With over $19M in annual IT spend and growing tech stack complexity, these unaddressed gaps expose the city to significant compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The adopted FY27 budget explicitly funds both a Data Loss Prevention Program ($228,175) and IT Vendor Risk Management ($22,182), with police and IT contracts expiring September 30, 2026 adding urgency. The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant offers an aligned funding pathway for law enforcement IT improvements.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The entity is advancing IT infrastructure modernization with funded positions for a Network Security Architect and Server Systems Administrator in FY27, alongside a broader FY26 modernization plan. Integration and security monitoring gaps within the existing technology environment present operational and compliance risk to staff and public services.
The opportunity
The adopted FY26–27 budget includes dedicated funding for security staffing, data loss prevention, and IT vendor risk management, creating an immediate entry point aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures infrastructure investments are coordinated, compliance-ready, and positioned to leverage available public safety and IT grant funding streams.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Technology & Software Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fleet-involved accidents with disputed video evidence have resulted in significant settlements, and a recent officer injury in a patrol car collision underscores ongoing safety risk. As a self-insured entity, the city faces amplified financial exposure, and the incumbent fleet management system is due for replacement.
The opportunity
The FY26-27 budget includes $260,000 specifically allocated for fleet services software upgrades, creating an immediate and funded procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined path to award, reducing administrative burden and accelerating time to improved safety outcomes.
