Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan has not been substantively updated since 2013/2018 and is overdue for its mandated 5-year review under Texas Government Code Chapter 418. Gaps in documented exercises, audits, and mass notification readiness collectively create significant operational and legal compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grant awards provide direct funding pathways for EOP modernization, reducing the local budget burden. A recent leadership transition placing the Emergency Management Coordinator in an executive role creates rare, mission-aligned momentum to advance this overdue compliance priority now.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department operates under an active cybersecurity training mandate and is budgeting for ransomware protection and software license upgrades. An IT/security services contract renewal in October 2026 creates a defined decision window to strengthen credential management and IT monitoring capabilities before existing coverage lapses.
The opportunity
The October 2026 contract renewal is a firm planning trigger, and the proposed FY27 IT budget increase signals strong financial readiness. The FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers an eligible funding path for cybersecurity investments, reducing reliance on general fund dollars while advancing compliance and operational resilience.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2028, and current accessibility gaps expose the department to legal and reputational risk. Unaddressed barriers limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined planning window, and early action reduces legal exposure while improving service equity. This initiative aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and may be eligible for IT modernization or accessibility-focused funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks complete fleet condition visibility and objective documentation to support incident reconstruction, driver behavior monitoring, and maintenance tracking. With a broader fleet replacement initiative underway, the absence of telematics and dash camera infrastructure creates operational and liability risk for the department.
The opportunity
Active fleet replacement investment and a leadership transition elevating emergency and public safety priorities create a timely opening to advance fleet safety technology. Budget activity supporting fleet-related investments and cooperative procurement pathways can streamline acquisition within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's mass notification capability is compromised by platform ambiguity, undermining reliable emergency communications for staff and residents. This gap directly stalls a required Emergency Operations Plan update under Texas Chapter 418, elevating operational and compliance risk during incidents.
The opportunity
Awarded public safety and emergency management grants create a near-term funding pathway to resolve this gap alongside the broader EOP initiative. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns with fiscal planning, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community-wide incident response readiness.
