Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2018, exceeding the required 5-year review cycle, and a recent flooding event occurred without a documented after-action review. An active EOC project is grant-funded, but the preparedness gap elevates operational and life-safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Multiple approved state homeland security and crisis response grants are available now, directly funding this initiative during an active FY27 budget cycle. Interim leadership with direct emergency management responsibility provides a strong internal champion to accelerate planning and procurement decisions.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Endpoint Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas cybersecurity mandates require centralized credential management, which is currently absent, leaving the city exposed to ransomware and unauthorized access risks. The existing co-managed IT environment lacks consolidated endpoint oversight, creating operational gaps that elevate both compliance and continuity risk for city staff and residents.
The opportunity
The FY27 IT budget reflects a significant software investment increase, and the BJA Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program—open through October 2026—explicitly covers cybersecurity IT and network management tools. Acting within the current fiscal and grant cycle positions the city to close compliance gaps, reduce breach exposure, and maximize available public funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Maintenance Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The police department operates an aging fleet without verified telematics, limiting visibility into vehicle health and driver behavior and creating measurable operational risk. The Vehicle Maintenance Department's proposed FY27 budget increase signals recognized pressure to address these gaps before they affect service delivery.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle and a dedicated Fleet & Transportation strategic initiative with equipment replacement funding create a clear near-term procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed and available, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating time to improved fleet oversight.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city must bring public-facing portals and documents into alignment with WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, a future federal compliance mandate. Gaps in document accessibility and resident-facing digital services risk excluding community members and creating legal exposure as enforcement timelines approach.
The opportunity
A proposed FY27 IT budget increase signals available funding for software improvements, and cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use can streamline procurement. Addressing accessibility proactively reduces compliance risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents ahead of mandate deadlines.

Discuss this project →Managed Print Services Procurement and Optimization
Print Infrastructure · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has issued an active RFP for Managed Print Services, signaling documented gaps in current print infrastructure management and a need to consolidate or optimize print operations. Unmanaged print environments carry hidden costs, security vulnerabilities, and operational inefficiencies that impact staff productivity and budget stewardship.
The opportunity
With an active RFP already in the procurement pipeline and the FY27 budget cycle underway, conditions are aligned for a near-term award. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may further streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating time to operational improvement.
