EOP Modernization and Public Alert System Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is seven years old and no longer reflects current threats, while recent events — including Tropical Storm Edouard, boil-water incidents, and a 311 call center outage — have exposed critical gaps in public alerting and redundant communications. Active EOC monitoring mandates and recurring declared emergencies create immediate compliance and operational pressure to modernize preparedness infrastructure.
The opportunity
A Water Supply and Infrastructure Grant of up to $1M is actively being pursued, providing a direct funding path for preparedness and communication improvements ahead of the FY2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026. Acting within this window allows the district to close compliance gaps, strengthen community resilience, and secure funding before the fiscal cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Water Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Center lacks modern severe weather monitoring capabilities, and a 250,000-gallon elevated storage tank requires rehabilitation — gaps that compound risk during declared emergencies. Recent boil-water notices, tropical storm impacts, and an outdated emergency operations plan elevate both operational and compliance exposure for residents and staff.
The opportunity
With the FY2027 budget hearing approaching in September 2026 and a water infrastructure grant of up to $1M actively in pursuit, there is a near-term window to secure funding for EOC monitoring and water system resilience. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns spending with documented severe weather mandates and reduces public safety risk.

Discuss this project →End-of-Life Equipment Replacement & IT Modernization
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Lifecycle
High Priority
About this project
Numerous end-of-life hardware and software assets have been identified across the organization, creating operational risk and service continuity concerns. The IT Help Desk is also flagged for upgrade, reflecting broader infrastructure modernization needs that affect staff productivity and public service delivery.
The opportunity
The FY2026 budget is adopted with explicit allocations for EOL equipment replacement, and the FY2027 budget hearing presents an extended decision window for additional IT initiatives. Acting within this cycle ensures alignment with approved funding and reduces compounding risk from aging infrastructure.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Identity Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Mandatory cybersecurity training and a compliance audit are required to maintain insurance coverage, while open gaps in multi-factor authentication and directory integration expose the city to credential-based threats. Unresolved identity and access management weaknesses increase the risk of unauthorized system access across municipal operations.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget allocations are already approved for cybersecurity compliance, creating immediate procurement readiness before the FY2027 budget cycle closes the window. Closing these gaps now reduces insurance liability, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens the city's overall security posture.
O365 Upgrade & IT Help Desk Modernization
IT Modernization · Service Delivery
High Priority
About this project
The FY2026 budget includes approved allocations for Microsoft 365 upgrades and end-of-life equipment replacement, signaling a planned refresh of productivity and collaboration infrastructure. The IT Help Desk upgrade is identified as a parallel strategic initiative, reflecting broader gaps in IT service delivery that affect staff efficiency and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Funding is already adopted in the FY2026 budget, making this an active, near-term procurement window. Recent leadership transitions create additional momentum to advance modernization priorities and align IT service capabilities with evolving city operational needs.
City Fleet Safety & Vehicle Accident Reduction Plan
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a Vehicle Accident Reduction Plan as a budget-approved strategic initiative, coinciding with significant fleet purchases and an aging fleet management system approaching end of life. Without structured safety monitoring, the city faces growing liability exposure and operational risk across its vehicle fleet.
The opportunity
With major fleet purchases already underway and the FY2027 budget hearing serving as a key planning milestone, now is the time to embed safety and monitoring capabilities into procurement decisions. Proactive investment supports risk reduction, responsible stewardship of public assets, and long-term cost avoidance.
